Watching Over Us

Wow!!! Two rainbow sitings in FOUR days time!! Tonight Garrett discovered another rainbow after a thunderstorm and rain! This time there was a DOUBLE rainbow....you can just faintly see the second one! I think God is telling us it's going to be OK, somehow, some way!

Rainbows, "God's" Promise

Friday night after we had torrential rains and high winds the day before.... oh and by the way a very rough week in general. Garrett saw the rainbow. He was so excited. He kept yelling "A Rainbow, A Rainbow!!" So we all ran outside to see the beautiful colors over our house! I told the boys the story about Noah's Ark and God's Promise to us. They enjoyed it and even talked about it. I also took it as a personal message for Him saying things will be OK.

The boys, me and furbabies

Life has definitely been different with Jeff gone but we push through every day. Garrett has been having some major issues but we are hoping to work through those. They are both doing very well academically so far. Garrett's is more behavioral.


Here is a picture of my boys. Justin is now 9 and Garrett will be 8 in a little less than 2 weeks. You can see how much Justin doesn't want to be there, but Garrett is very much the loving one. He even said after the picture "he doesn't like me Mom."

Here is me, Halo, and Mr. Manners. They really are a lot of company with Jeffrey gone. The kids too. In fact I hated when school was starting because I didn't want a silent house.

Here is Justin and Mr. Manners. I love this photo. They love each other.

This was right before school started. Justin and are are on the back deck.

This is from Justin's birthday party in August. Mine are the two on the left. I had a cake and ice cream party at the house and then took all the boys to see "Star Wars, The Clone Wars." It was a great day.

The Apple Seedling

Look how this little tree has grown! We've gone through about three or four pots now and I guess when it gets cold I'll bring it in so it doesn't die! It still amazes me that Garrett took a seed from an apple and it grew!

Now:

and I tried to get this as best I could, see the teeny, tiny spider's web on it....
