All About The Lancer

I'm no Ashley Mac or Deb L. but they were pretty delicious no matter how they looked!

M still isn't that interested in eating sweets. She mostly just played in the icing-as you can see!

So lots going on and not a lot of time to tell you all the details as I'm sure you all are dying to know what we have been up to every minute of the day since my last post. We had a great Father's Day. Lance, of course, is the best daddy and I am so thankful for him. He is so helpful and attentive to both of us. I feel terrible though because M has been going through a rough spot with him. She's kind of been rejecting him a lot. But its only when I'm around. When they are alone she clings to him. I'm hoping this ends soon. It makes me (and him) so sad.

I got a job, but its just a "little job." I'm the new missions secretary at our church. 5 or so hours a week from home. No big deal. Just something to direct my time a little better since "one child is just a hobby" as my friend Jamie says.

We put our place on the market this week. We are trying to do it by owner right now since we aren't in a rush to move. I'm shamelessly going to plug it, and ask that if you know of anyone in B'ham looking for a 2 bed/2 bath condo in Hoover let us know. We are on the website www.forsale-byowner.com right now.

The other thing we finally did was get a will drawn up. I felt so morbid and fearful trying to decide who would raise my kids "in the unlikely event" that something should happen to us both, and all the financial stuff that goes along with that. We are leaving M twice this summer (1st time starting tomorrow) while we take trips and I've been very anxious about it in light of all the will stuff. If you think about it, please pray for me. I truly know that our children belong to the Lord and that he is good no matter what should happen to them or to us, and that if we aren't here that they will not fall away from the faith if they belong to the Father. My sinful self thinks that somehow I could control this if I could keep my family with me at all times. I have control issues-thorn in my flesh that has yet to be removed after all these years. Though I am hoping to see how "his power is made perfect in my weakness." All that to say, I hope that will is the biggest waste of money we ever spend!

And finally, Madeline was sick all last week for the first real time. She's had colds and a couple of fevers but this was a fever for almost 3 days ranging between 100-104. Doctor thought it was a UTI, but thankfully we're pretty sure it was Roseola. My first real trip to the doctor with an unknown illness. Pretty good for almost 17 months!
