Tastebud Tuesday

Nothing better than having a nice, quiet lunch with a friend, right?

The Asian Chicken Salad from Panera Bread was perfect for this warm, sunny day!

Friday Photo Flashback

 I started "Friday Photo Flashback" because I have so many pictures from my PRE-digital camera days. I thought it would be fun to scan them and share them here with you. I'm having so much fun doing this, that I would love for you to join me, too! So dig out the photo albums and put your scanner to good use! Don't forget to link up so we can all visit and comment on each others blogs!

Awe...my little babies!! Well, they were "babies" to me back then! Isaiah was 3, and Miranda was 2 years old!! They looked so innocent!! And they were really sweet!!! Wow..seems just like yesterday!

Babies R Us!

The Lord has really put on my heart to bless young couples at our church by babysitting their kids so they can have some alone time! I remember having all little ones, and always jumping at the chance when my mom, or sister in-law would offer to watch the kids. Now that our two oldest kids can babysit, my husband and I can pretty much go out on a date whenever we want. LOVE IT!!

I know how important it is to stay connected to your husband, and just have that time together (without interruptions)!  It's easy to get caught up with just the kids, and not take that time out for each other!!

So, just last week, we were blessed to watch a couple of cuties, and my kids were a big help, too!

Here is Evan giving my daughter kisses!! He's so adorable!

Here he is with his little brother!! My oldest son loved watching him!

And on another day, we watched this little hunker while his mom and dad had a spontaneous lunch date! He reminds me of the Michelin Man!

And, he loves the girls!!!
