Parent's Prayer
I aspire to be this parent...with a lot of work and patience I might get there some day.
Parent’s Prayer
Dear God,
Help us to be better parents.
Teach us to understand our children, to listen patiently to what they have to say and to answer all their questions kindly. Keep us from interrupting them or contradicting them. Make us as courteous to them as we want them to be to us.
Help us never to punish them for our own selfish satisfaction or to show our power. Let us not tempt our children to lie or steal. And guide us daily that we may demonstrate by all we say and do that honesty produces happiness.
When we are out of sorts, help us to hold our tongues. May we ever be mindful that our children are children and we should not expect them to act like adults.
Help us never to rob them of the opportunity to wait on themselves and to make decisions. Bless us with the bigness to grant them all their reasonable requests and the courage to deny them privileges we know will do them harm
Make us fair, just and kind parents. We pray for calmness, poise and self-control, and fit us to be loved, respected, and imitated by our children.

Maternity Photos
A couple weeks ago we met with Bree Hawkes of Photography by Bree to have some photo's taken. The plan was to meet at Wheeler Farm but thunder storms threatened postponment of the photo shoot. After a few phone calls we decided to just go for it. The clouds cleared and the sun started to come out just in time! We had a great time walking around Wheeler Farm find some great spots for photos. Bree was great to work with and we will use her again in the future.
