Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name

.here lately.

Here are a few pics of things around here lately:

.music time with Mr. Nigel.

.park date with BecBec while mommy and daddy went on a date!.

.nothing tries to welcome spring like a popsicle.

.dessert.

 I was really wanting some cupcakes for dessert the other night so I stopped on the way home from work and picked us up some deliciousness!!! They were enjoyed by all!

.book worms.

.snacking all the time.

 I have never seen a kid eat like AP... the boy is constantly asking for a "nack, nack". He eats snacks and still eats every meal!

.pinkalicious.

 HJ got a book at the library called, Pinkalicious, the little girl eats too many pink cupcakes and she turns pink and has to eat lots of veggies to turn back to her normal color, so last Saturday we made some pinkalicious cupcakes! We ate some and shared some with our neighbors! Such a fun little memory with my sweet girl!

.someone got a new do.

So we were tired of paying $20 for AP to get his haircut and I decided it would be ok for Andrew to cut it... He does a good job on his own hair, but I wasn't so sure about letting him lose with baby boy's super cute blonde hair.... But I did it! AP did so well while Andrew cut it! So here he is with his new do..which looks the best when it has "products" in it!

 

.sorry can't get this picture to turn around at all! so frustrating, but he is such a cutie with his new do!.

.guitar time.

 .love.

.playdate.

 HJ had been asking for a while to have Norah over to play, so we did last weekend and they had a great time! They are such little girls... it was so cute to hear them playing and role playing the story of Cinderella!
