My Little Life

i am infinitely blessed!!!

while sitting in my backyard this morning - drinking my coffee

(papa says the 1st cup of the day should always be consumed while sitting down:-)

i was overcome by a sense of gratitude
the Lord has blessed me with a little life!!

i love my home that my loving husband built for me - i love my yard with the plants and flowers that i planted this spring - i love the swing set that my sweet boys love to play on - and of course my sweet puppies who come by every-so-often just to "check on" me (and to get a good ear scratching)

my life is small

i am not powerful or rich and famous

but i have been abundantly blessed with love, shelter, friends and health

i love my little life

thank you Lord for blessing me with the little things

HOME AGAIN JIGGITY JIG

we're home from our trip and there is nothing like

your own bed!!!

that said -

we had a great time!

here is an overview of how we spent some of our time

it was the boys first time on a plane - and the Lord was with us all the way to florida

here we are getting on the plane with our cousin av's g.money ready for take off

j.man ready to go

once in florida

the crim clan stayed on the beach -

here's our house for the week...

our view from the porch...

we swam in the pool...

we sat by the pool...

we played on the beach...

we buried our brother...

we sat in the surf...

we played in the surf...

we were eaten by a shark...

and we ate good food...

we went on a dolphin cruise...

baby hula loved the rocking of the boat...

and so did d$...

here's g.money captaining the ship...

and here is j.man at the helm...

we saw beautiful sunsets...

and a good time was had by all...

thank you non - we can't wait for next year!!!

pipelines, planes and prayers

we're off on an adventure!!!

my friend AH went on an adventure with her family
recently and ended up in an
EARTHQUAKE
we here in the crim household
completely understand the likelihood
of our family being involved in something newsworthy
because - really
we're the crim's
who else better to end up in the middle of a hurricane!!
(seriously - let's get a raise of hands - who here thinks they could actually see g.money and j.man on the news surfing in the middle of a 5 force hurricane - it could happen!!!! - or better yet - "plane makes a sudden landing after 5 year old pulls the escape hatch on the door")
however - we are praying for the best

keep us in your prayers
and
i'll blog at y'all soon
