To infinity and beyond...

Buzz Lightyear, we salute you.

Because of you I was able to take a shower today. I even got to rinse the conditioner out of my hair without streaking across the bathroom floor to capture a little diaper booty taking off with a bottle of Tylenol or even worse, a bottle of Drain-O.

Oh, it's quite glorious. The APA tells us that a little bit of tv is ok. Everything in moderation. If it means a clean mama and a non-charred dinner, then we welcome it at la casa Davis.

Speaking of infinity and beyond...12Stone is doing a incredible series on heaven right now. It is SO thought-provoking. Today we were reminded that pain is real and temporary and we must endure it. Pleasure is also real and temporary and we are to enjoy it. Heaven is real and eternal and we are to live for it. Jesus told his disciples that this world would not be without trouble. Our hope comes in the promise of heaven. Rather than blame God for all the bad things in our lives and take credit for all of the good, we must remember that "every good and perfect gift is from above".

Confession. We just might have ended up here [again] tonight. Remember that all good things come from Him. Even naked dogs.

I don't know what happened. Those onion rings started talking to me. In church mind you. At 10:45 this morning. And they just wouldn't stop. And I'm not even preggers. Yet. Sigh. *Insert lots and lots and lots of prayers* The shadows of chemo leave a lot of unanswered questions but we know that if and when it's in God's will, it will be done. We sure would be tickled silly to have one more great big blessing to thank Him for.

Not to change the subject, but um, this little man cracks me up.
I promise he's not a hobbitt. He does in fact have clothes that fit. They're just not near as cute as these alligator trunks.

He's in this completely adorable phase where he says things like "tee tee" and "shoowee". This week he learned to meow-meow like a cat. We are so NOT cat people.

Have I mentioned how much we love a good day at the splash park? Top three reasons why I love it: 1) Yogli Mogli 2) Dress Up Boutique 3) photo ops like this one: 
Totally and completely worth the soggy britches ride home.

  3. My three year old nephew is also obsessed with Toy Story. He will sit there and watch all three consecutively if he was allowed. Nothing else exists to him when it is on. I bet parents all over the world thank Pixar for those three movies.

  4. I have two little boys who are also BIG fans of Buzz and the rest of the Toy Story crew. Being able to take a shower is always a good thing!!

    Lots of prayers for you! Our little Gracie-doodle is the outcome of THOUSANDS of whispered (some times shouted) prayers over 2 some-odd years.
