Zachism

So the new year of pathfinders has started and this weekend is the first camporee.
Matt has Matthew and Dillon and the other four kiddies are here with me.
Zachy says, "can we please have a sleepover?"
Me, "ummm, no, we don't do sleepovers"
Zachy, "But Mommy, there are only four of us, and we will be soooo lonely"

Only in a large family will you hear that!! :D

Random Pictures

We have a fairly new camera. A DSLR. I've been reading a book to try to learn how to use it better. I was just going to upload these pictures to facebook, but it was being dumb, so I'm just going to put them here.

Our Father's Love

Yesterday, Zachy was in my room and I said to him, "Zachy, do you know how much I love you?"
He replied, "yep"
Surprised, I asked him how much. He told me, "a whole lot".
I tried to explain to him that he couldn't possibly understand how much I truly love him. That until he is a parent, he'll never understand. And honestly, I think that a mother's love is different than a father's love, so he may never know.
Then it hit me.
How much more our Heavenly Father loves us.
We cannot even comprehend.
God loves us more than anything. We are undeserving of this love, and yet, He loves us anyway.
How awesome that God made us parents, so that we might be able to catch a glimpse of His love for us.
He truly is marvelous!
