Resolve

~

The other evening, going into Christmas Eve service at my parents' church, Savannah sweetly said "Aunt Jess. I am going to be SO good, you won't believe your EYES!"

~

Now, I won't say she was bad. But, needless to say, by the end of the evening, she was losing restraint. Bored and restless, her resolve quickly began to crumble.

~

But, aren't we all like that? So determined to just astonish everyone with our exceptional behavior. Saintly gestures and only kind words falling like honey from our lips.

~

Yeah, right!

~

And how long does that typically last? Until our feet actually hit the floor in the morning?

~

Thankfully, there's usually tomorrow and His mercies are new every morning.

~

Who knows, maybe one day we'll get it right. But, until then, we're right there with ya, Savannah. Resolve chipping away with every tick of the clock. At least you know you're in good and plentiful company, Girl.

So, what have YOU resolved to accomplish in 2009?

"And they'll have
FUN, FUN, FUN ~








'til their Nanny takes their 'Donut' away..."


Mom and Dad had the kids this weekend, so I came over yesterday and we spent a large part of the day out in the pool. Suffice it to say, THEY LOVE THEIR POOL-TIME. But, we had a good time. Savannah's still so proud that she can walk all the way across 'the blue' and back and Emery is ecstatic that he can stand 'in the blue' and just wants to be in there all-the-time. He wasn't too sure about their little innertube, but when he got in the larger one with me and I spun him around like the teacup ride, he didn't want to stop! (I better rest up for next week when they'll be here the whole week!!) I'm as tuckered as they are!!
