PHILLIES WIN THE WORLD SERIES

As a tribute to my husband, I MUST post about his "Stinkin' Phillies"

They have won their 2nd ever World Series in their 125 year history. Thier 1st World Series was won in 1980 against the Kansas City Royals.

The Phillies Won the 2008 Series in a game lead of 4-1 (best 4 out of 7). Winning last night's game 4-3!

This is quite a memorable time in history for the Landis Family! If any of you know them at all... this is just HUGE! :)

Matt went off to work today in his Phillies Shirt and Hat! What a fan!

And Kaitlyn dressed in her attire - just for daddy- today...

Surprise Visit!

I was very pleasantly surprised today by a short visit!!!

I KNOW- adorable :)... right?

Kaitlyn and her Granddaddy Rog!

Lourdes- thanks for bringing her by!

A Little Bit goes a long way!

Today I discovered the cutest new webpage! It's the Little Bits web site. All proceeds go to support missionaries in Kensington-Philly area. My sister-in-law's - sister-in-law (did you follow that) started a blog and so i was checking it out.

She has a post about this Little Bits web page and ordered somethings from there...

They are all really too cute for words- so you'll just have to check it out yourself.

Here is the link - Little Bits

I know, it's probably more than you were expecting to spend, but keep in mind all profits go to support those on the mission field, here in the USA! :)

So at least check it out and dream, and pass it on!!!

Just wanted to...

OK, I think this is my last post for the day. (Fridays seem to be the best day for me to get some posts up for the week... a no work day for me- YEAH!)

Bath time has become daddy-daughter time!
Almost from the very beginning, it has been Matt that gives K her baths in the evenings. I'm not sure which one of them enjoys it more?!
K enjoys the splashing and kicking, the sucking of the fingers, (and sometimes the TV when it's on in the Kitchen).... she is like a queen, laying there in one of her favorite places, all kicked back, relaxed, watching the scene and color changes on the TV in front of her.... Not to mention having your Daddy stand by and watch you, bathe you, talk to you, tickle you, and care for you the whole time... does it get any better than this?

Told you she likes to suck on her fingers!

Morning Sunrise

Believe it or not- THIS is a Rockingham County Sunrise!
Pictures taken this morning from my front porch.

2.Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy. 3. God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. "Selah" His glory covered the heavens and his praise filled the earth. 4. His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden. (Habakkuk 3:2-4)

Evening Walks

Well, it seems it is becoming more and more apparent that our evening walks are quickly coming to an end. Not only will it be dark when Daddy gets home in a week, it is also getting more chilly outside!
However, we might have the chilly problem taken care of! Kaitlyn LOVES going for stroller rides, especially with her black dog, Buxton!


It is much easier when Matt and I both go for the walk, because you simply can NOT go without Buxton! Although we have both done it alone, it is much better together!

Evening walks are a great time to unwind from the day and share experiences, thoughts, issues, problems, concerns, dreams, and love from the day with each other!

I'm sure we will continue our walks whenever possible, but i bet it's going to be more of a weekend event for the next 6 months!

Apostles Creed

As a little girl my family attended a Presbyterian Church. Unfortunately, mostly I remember being told when to stand, told when to sit, told what to pray, etc....
This morning I was reading over some notes and came across the Apostles Creed. I first learned this prayer in this Presbyterian Church 30 years ago probably... and then it was just words in a book, a memory lesson to regurgitate to a Sundy School teacher.
Today, it is so much more than that. I am disappointed that somehow years ago, I missed what this prayer is really revealing to our hearts. If it's been a while since you've seen it, read it, prayed it, take a moment and listen to the heart of this prayer, and what HE did for all of us.
Thanks for the new eyes to see, the new heart to feel, the new ears to hear...

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended into hell.

The third day He arose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
