We were able to get a new computer so that I can work and have storage space for client files.
NikiRhe likes it because it has a built in webcam and we can do little vid clips and she LOVES to see herself on the camera! LOL
Now if I can just get my CE's finished and get my Oklahoma license taken care of I can actually WORK!

Doing Some Spring Cleaning
So hubby and I have decided that it's time to get NikiRhe a toddler bed. We are having company this summer and she really can't be sleeping in the full size bed in her room all the time with company here. So she is getting a very cute princess bed and we are getting things set up so she can actually play in her room more.
WE are also going to be tossing out some clutter. We have a storage closet in the upstairs hall that is really full of things we probably don't even need anymore! LOL
*EDIT*
She is sleeping in her big girl bed now and almost every night stays until morning! YAY!
We spent this last weekend with my Grandparents in Bartlesville,OK. We really enjoyed the time and I know it is good for NikiRhe to spend that quality time with her great grandparents!
She is growing so fast and I got to see my beautiful Grandmother and my beautiful daughter sit together just like I used to sit with Grandma when I was little. It was rather bittersweet! I know she won't remember these things as she is still quite small but the fact that I got to see it touches my heart in so many ways.
I praise G*d every day for the Grandparents that I have! I hope that my little girl will have as many memories of them I as I have of my Granny Pair. Granny would have loved NikiRhe so much! I can't wait until I can see her again! It all makes me a little homesick for heaven!To think that G*d loved me so much that He blessed me with an amazing family!!

Fifteen Months and Counting....
Our little one turned 15 months on the 4th and it is so hard to believe that it has been that long. She is such a bundle of energy and fun. Well most days anyway. I'll admit that being a first time mom at 32 came as something of a shock to me and my "well baby educated" system. I've been taking care of other peoples children all my life.
I helped my mom raise my siblings, I was a nanny, I was a foster mom and the change was dramatic!
I learned that I could survive on much less sleep than I ever had before. I also learned that I fell in love like never before the moment the nurse place this beautiful little thing in my arms. I remember sitting there next to my sister who looked like she was freezing, telling her that I would forever be greatfull for the gift she was giving us. The nurse told me to stand up and I could see my baby being born and I got to see as she was pulled from her warm cozy environment and thrust into a bright, cold world. I kissed my sisters head and was whisked away to the other side of the room where they wrapped her up and I got to hold her for the very first time right there in the OR.
I have been with her every day since then with the exception of one when I had to be out of town. I Love my daughter and God has shown me that she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I would not change a moment of emotional upheaval, sleeplessness, cuddling, kisses, shared smiles, or hearing her beautiful little voice.
I am so very blessed to have been able to be at home with her since the moment she was born. I may not be very organized, or have a perfectly clean home but I have a happy, healthy family. God is blessing us and we are striving every day to teach our little one of the Love of Christ!
Be Blessed!

Change Me
This morning while having coffee with a friend in my dinning room NikiRhe came in looking for hugs and attention. I picked her up and sat her on my lap and I loved on her and we cuddled for a moment when I noticed she stank... lol ...
I put her on the floor and told her to go tell daddy 'change me'... sure enough she walked strait to the living room and said rather loudly " CHANGE ME"! It was the most precious thing I'd heard in a while! She was such a little blessing. This was even after she had gotten her first hair cut and was a little miffed at her mommy for making her sit still.
Well this got me to thinking. "Change me" What a phrase. I once heard that this is the most powerful two word prayer a Christian can pray. When we are constantly asking God to change people around us, our circumstances and other things. If we could just sincerely pray to God " Change ME" I believe we would see a WORLD of change.
I experimented with this a few years ago when I was feeling like things in my marriage needed to change. I felt we were stagnant and not moving forward or growing as a couple. So I prayed "Lord, Change ME". I found over the next two years that not only did He change my outlook, He changed my heart, my in-look and they way I view my spouse, myself and my fellow man.
God also allowed me to see that being a stay at home mom or even a work at home mom was the path in life I desired the most. So when our daughter was born I prayed for God to provide for me to be able to be home and to teach her to be a graceful homemaker and seeker of Christ.
To this day I have to remind myself at times that I need to ask for God to 'Change ME' because I can't control every aspect of life but I know the plans He has for me!
Be Blessed
