A DAY IN THE LIFE.........

Russ - Well, my dear hubby this week had the pleasure of winning his 1st ballgame by a landslide (head coach of Audreys team), 22-7....He is such a good coach w/those girls, so its hard to see him get frustrated when they throw it to the 3rd basemen, when its suppose to go to home plate...ha ha....He also had an overwhelmingly PROUD moment as a father, when his youngest baby, EG, decided it was funny to, after mommy said, "say MAMA, Emma Grace", she actually said DADA, with a BIG smile on her face....Priceless to him,,,very unfair to mommy....Melissa - Well, my garage sale went off w/o a hitch,,,EXCEPT FOR THE TORENTIAL DOWNPOUR OF RAIN !! No, it really went good, I actually made $100, and its so funny to see these avid garage sale people come out in, literally, the POURING rain...nontheless, it was fun...... not cleaning up, though.I also sang special music at church Sunday...I prayed about what to sing, and it wasnt til Friday (cutting it short, I know) that God answered me..With my recent new found FREEDOM from the Esther Exp.,,I felt him nudging me to sing, "Amazing Grace, My Chains are Gone"....and.....................................................Acapella, at that........God showed up that morning, as he usually does, and many came up to me after saying how much it meant to them, they were teary-eyed and at peace...thats what its all about...Audrey - My big girl,,,,she had 3 ballgames this past week, and shes pretty good !!....She has also been practicing for her 2 solos coming up (I know, a Diva already)....one for the school talent show (HSM) and one for the church childrens choir, which is on Mothers day, if anyone want to attend)...but my baby still has time to make me mothers day pics, like the one at school, which says, "my mommy is special to me because....................(audreys response) "She takes me everywhere....SOMETIMES".....I love that, to be taken ALL OVER, EVERYWHERE,,,only sometimes...ha ha...priceless....Jake - Oh, my Jakie-boy......never a dull moment....Just this morning, he managed to fill the sink up w/water about 1/4 in from the rim, just enough to splash some water all over, to which he said,, "it was an asscident, mama"....an ASSCIDENT, I love it...but my baby boy has those hidden moments, when noone else is around, with his mommy, like the other day I was doing the dishes, and he asked, "mommy, can I help you rinse the dishes for mothers day?"...and he stood there and rinsed the dishes just so proud to do it,,,(well, until he discovered the sprayer)...........Emma Grace - my sweet baby girl, who right at this moment is pitching a big one (a hissy fit, that is)....her ear infec is getting better, and she is getting so smart, she already knows a few words, "baby,dada,bubba(brother),and mama" occasionally, as in the previous post....and she has this thing, NaNa calls her "manerisms" where she presses down w/her hands on her belly, when someone is holding her...confusing, I know....well, thats it for this Lonas Clan for now...have a good week
