Random pics of the girls

Someone was playing with the broom today and left it laying across the floor. When the UPS driver showed up with packages today, Cora was running to the door to see what packages they were and tripped over the broom handle. Eva said she flipped over (I was already at the door) and then landed on her face. It didn't look too bad when I cleaned her up and put the bandaids on (just some small scraps), but after her nap, it looked a lot worse. I'm sure it is going to bruise.

Cora loves posing for pictures!

Jaina and Martha love wearing hats!

For some reason, Martha wanted to sit in the bucket to watch the movie. I can't imagine it was comfortable, but she cried when I tried taking her out of it!

Jaina loves to "read"!

I Can!

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
--Philippians 4:13

This verse has been one of "my" verses for over ten years. I have learned that no matter what life throws at me, I can survive when I lean on Christ and His strength. God will never give us more than we can handle when we rely on Him to get us through. No matter how hard life seems at times, we must remember that what is happening is happening for a reason and He will guide us through and if we lean on Him, not only will we survive, but we will grow closer to Him.
