My mind told me that I was supposed to say “Yes YES I want her to be a baby again!” but my heart said “No…NO…I love this age!” And I do I really do. Whatever age it is that she is currently at, that is the age I love. Every day she ...

Disney has done it again. 

Not only were there frogs falling in love, adorable little girls, strong-women, amazing fathers, singing fireflies, and a backdrop of New Orleans….

THERE IS A CHARACTER IN THE MOVIE WITH THE NAME EVANGELINE! 

Not JUST a character, a shining star. 

Did I ever tell you my daughters name is Evangeline?  Eva is just her nickname.

So we are sitting there in the theater on opening night of the latest Disney princess movie with our little princess and there is a character with her name.  There is even a beautiful ...

What I wanted to share with you are all the amazing abilities of Google that I never knew about before!

1. Want to know what’s for dinner, just google three ingredients in your fridge and see what pops up.

See this sweet girl right here?  This is my daughter.  Evangeline Delia.  She was born in Guatemala.  She has another mother that loves her and grew her in her stomach for nine months.  Another mother that didn’t feel like she would have enough money to feed, clothe, and house her.  So she made the heart-wrenching decision to place ...

That’s what Eva yells every time she sees me get out her bathing suite because she knows what is coming.  Here is my little fishy in action this past weekend.  I love the ones where she is mid air.
Can you see what a little performer she is?

  • He set up this sight for me and maintains it.
  • He comes home every night from a long day of work and for the most part takes care of Eva the whole night.  Usually even giving her a bath and getting her ready for bed.
  • On top of that he cleans up after dinner every night.
  • I’ve never had to touch a lawn mower or weed whacker in my life because he does all of it.
  • He humors me as a I ...

    I love when my daughter looks at me with a concerned look on her face and says “Are you okay honey?”

    I love wiping off her delicious little hands after she eats her lunch.

    I love cheering her on when she learns something new.

    I love her obsession with everything Disney.

    I love watching her welcome her Daddy home every day with so much enthusiasm you would think it was Jesus himself walking through the door.
