And Grace Abounds

Isn't that what we all need? A little grace....

Who really "gets it right"? I sure don't and haven't met anyone else who can brag that they do consistently, either.

One of God's great mercies for me right now comes in the package of CPA. Sophia is in first grade and this week has started full days. This is good for us all. Now she and I get a chance to miss each other after having a full summer together.

We LOVE Mrs. Craig!

You will notice she is not in uniform. After 2 weeks of school, the uniforms are still not in...
"Grace, Grace, God's Grace..."

I met with Mrs. Craig to talk about Sophia today. Sophia is brilliant, and yet not a people pleaser or a perfectionist....this is need for...
"Grace, Grace, God's Grace..."

(Let me not forget to mention she is as precious as they come!)

Daniel Nouwen doesn't sleep through the night yet, so I am often tired, forgetful and frazzled.

Thanks goodness for
"Grace, Grace, God's Grace.."

And thank goodness DN is just sooo darn cute!

Steve is awesome, as usual! I truly think he is the all time best dad ever!

The latest talk is when and what kind of dog to get. Sophia has decided on a black poodle named CoaCoa Calypso. Steve and I are large dog fans. Steve is thinking a golden retriever. I say one of each...

There again we would need some "Grace, Grace, God's Grace"!!!!

So, what do you think?

Poodle, Retriever, another shepherd? Do you have a good dog story or recommendation for a family pet? How soon is too soon to get another dog? Give us your input!
