"I'll lend you for a while a child of mine," He said.

"For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.

It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three,

But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief,

You'll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief."

"I cannot promise he will stay; since all from earth return,

But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.

I've looked the wide world over in My search for teachers true

And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes I have chosen you.

Now will you give him all your love, not think the labor vain,

Nor hate Me when I come to call to take him back again?"

"I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done!

For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we run.

We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,

And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay;

But should the angels call for him much sooner than we've planned,

We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand!"

My mother was given this Poem when my Brother died
40 something years ago. She said it helped her overcome
her Grief and see the big picture.
Its a beautiful Poem.
I cried when i read it!!!

Sad Times.....

We received some bad news today.
My cousin Passed away.
Sheridas brother,
Mathew Morris,
Leaves behind a wife
and kids.
I cant stop crying,
keep thinking of those poor
children left without their
daddy. Im sad because
My uncle, being as sick as
he is, has to bury his son
only in his 30's.
Sherida is so upset, and i have
no way of helping her.
I just pray that God will
be with her and her
family through this rough time!!
Dear Uncle Neil & Aunt Sherian,
We are so sorry for your loss!
You and your family are in our prayers!
We love you so much!
Love,
Becca, Tanner & Kids

Over the holiday weekend....

It was kind of a cold rainy weekend
and the kids got tired of being
inside. so we had to think of
a few things to keep them happy....
here are a few pics we took!

We made tents with blankets and chairs....

We made macaroni people.....

They really enjoyed this project!!

Levi decided to get in his swimming gear behind
my back while he was supposed
to be in the bath!!

Mmmm Licorice and Sour cream
Yummy!!!!

We had Sherida and her family over on Monday
for dinner! We always enjoy our time with them!

Hope all of you had a Safe & Great Labor Day weekend!
We love all of you!

First Day of Kindergarten!!!!

Believe it or not i'm sad
to see my baby go to school!!!
He was so darn excited though!!
It's all he could talk about
all morning!!

CHEESE!!!

I love this picture!!

Tanner and I took him on his first day
& he rode the bus home with Oakley

My Nephew Oakley and Levi are in the same class!!!

face just as I snap the pic!!!
