Can Jesus Come to My House?

We have been trying to introduce Little Man to prayer before bedtime. He has really really taken to the idea and likes to talk to God. He likes to tell God what he did during the day and thank God for EVERYTHING. Tonight it was a sweet prayer. He thanked God for Mama and Papa and Peanut. He said "I love you God and Good Night Jesus. Amen" and then he sat up in bed and said "Mama, can Jesus come to my house tomorrow?" I didn't even know how to respond. I could say "Well Jesus is with you all of the time..." but really my VERY literal 2 year old would find issue with that. So I just said "we'll see honey" and he then said "Maybe Hannah come over if Jesus no come." He is just so cute I want to eat him up!

this made me laugh--not sure about the theology of Hannah coming over if Jesus can't, but it sure is adorable!!!

Papa Bear (and me)

My partner in crime and most gentle soul around. Papa Bear is all that is kind and considerate and puts his family’s needs before his own. As most Papa Bears, he does not multi task well but is working on it. He is dedicated to quality in all of his projects, little or small – especially where his yard and house are concerned. He is the creative, artistic one in the family who can draw chalk animals with life-like reality in just minutes and cut out dinosaurs and bugs free hand with one hand tied behind his back and blindfolded. He is the kid chasing, dirt digging, worm finding, ball throwing, world’s best Papa Bear.

Mama Bear

I am a mom of three young kids who thrives on teaching my children to love life. I tend to over organize and can’t exist without a schedule but my kids are breaking me of both of those habits. I can re-create any craft or meal I see, but am not usually creative enough to come up with them on my own so I have no shame in stealing all of my good ideas from other moms with experience. I am learning every day how to be a good mother and wife and have the best teachers in the world, my family.
