Tomatoe Grace

 
It's that time of year again.  The vegetables....not coming in like I want, but still the harvest is enough and there's hope for more.  But these girls....
They steal my heart.
Every time.
They make it skip a beat.
And make it explode with laughter.
They're the perfect part of our crazy.
Yep, these two sisters have a huge part of me.

 


Memories and tomatoes, all wrapped up in one.
Pretty good if you ask me!
Yummy and goofy too!
 

 
Always entertaining.
Always loved, so very loved.
By eachother,by me, by any and every one who knows them.

 
And randomly crazy, oh so random!

 
This food sieve....generations old.  The perfect birthday gift from my Grandma a few years back.  If I'm right, it was her Grandmother's before it was hers.  And now her Great Granddaughters share the kitchen with it once again.

 
And the boys, those crazy boys.  Yep, they're the other piece of the puzzle!  I never, ever would have guessed my heart could have this much room for this much love.  With each day, each year, each crazy kitchen moment, and every wild parenting challenge....it continues to grow.  A limitless grace.  Thanks you Jesus for the four greatest kids ever.
They're pretty amazing.
 
RANDOM KID QUOTES OF THE NIGHT.....
 
Alaina:  Gracie thinks North America is Texas....like all of it.
 
Gracie:  I love my sister.
 
Cass: Uhhhh....I don't know what to say....HELLO.
 
Aiden:  Ummm whatever.
True story, that's just kinda how we roll!
I'm now inspired to actually capture their randomness while theyr'e unaware....to steal their perfect words when they least expect it.  That will be fun.
 
We can do ALL things through Christ who gives us strength.  And it is ONLY through Christ that I am anything, anyone, with any sort of plan and purpose.  May all I do this week be in love!  And may the little (and big) eyes and ears around me continue to be the grace, the blessing, the motivation, and inspiration that they are.  And they don't even know it!  I guess that's how amazing works.
