My sister in law sent this to me, and I really think it has some valuable truths!
CELL PHONE vs. BIBLE
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several time a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing. ...Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry About our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.
Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities?
And no dropped calls!

Ralph, COME HOME!!!!
Ralph has been gone since Monday. Away on business. First to Dallas then Vegas. He's enjoying the high life....nice hotels, huge fantastic company dinners, full nights of sleep.....the pre baby life! Now, don't get me wrong, this gal loves some alone time. Control of the remote. Control of the light....I can read as late as I want to. 100% hugs from the little one. It is all great! But I am ready to have my hubs back. I miss him. His smell, his hugs, his kisses...the way he holds Gia, the way she looks at him.....luckily, he comes home today!

Gia the Talker
.....so I picked her up from school yesterday where she had spent part of the day in the toddler room. When I asked how she was I expected the normal "She's great" reply. Instead, she said, "Well, she was good for the most part." "For the most part!?" I echoed in shock.
"What on earth did she do?"
"Well, she wakes up earlier than the other toddlers and she just can't seem to stop talking."
.....I guess she does have part of me in her.......

Joy is....
· Joy is, hearing Gia laugh hysterically
· Joy is, having a great conversation with Ralph
· Joy is, seeing Gia’s smile
· Joy is, being around for all of Gia’s busyness
· Joy is, being the recipient of Ralph’s good night back of the neck kisses and “I love you, good nights”
· Joy is, coming home to a clean house and a pantry full of delicious goodies to transform into a culinary masterpiece….or just shake and bake
· Joy is, closing a big deal
· Joy is, watching “Miracle on 34th Street” with the Meezer and not having to listen to a single word of the movie and just talking and laughing the entire time
· Joy is, an unexpected Kari Day
· Joy is, fitting into my jeans and knowing they look great
· Joy is, being a wife, mom, daughter, sister, worker bee
· Joy is, serving my family cheerfully and not complaining

15 months (and a few days....)
Gia,
You are now fifteen months and sixteen pounds. By most standards, incredibly small. But for you, you are so big, cheeks with some chub and full of love.
As always, I am so proud to be your mommy.
I love when we sing and dance to "Long time ago in Bethlehem" in the kitchen.
You are starting to take a few very wobbly steps that really make you excited and then you lose your balance. It is such a treat to be around to watch these milestones.
When you awaken in the morning, you take your hands and "cozy up". It warms my heart just thinking of it.
Daddy takes you for rides around the house on his suitcase, in an empty laundry basket and this just makes you squeal with delights.
You have artwork posted in my office. Yes, I have turned into THAT mother. I love to show off your creations to people that could care less.
Daddy and I are your two favorite people in the world. This makes us the luckiest people on the planet.
You love to eat. You eat, and eat and eat, and don't gain an ounce.....you are the envy of all the girls.
Summer is approaching, and Daddy and I can not wait to see what your little legs kick like in the pool.....it appears that you are going to be an Olympic swimmer.
Everyday brings something new for us to be joyous about. I rejoice daily that I have the opportunity to share in your life. I love you Gi Gi.
Love,
Mommy
