A little place for Prayer

I'm so happy about my new little space. I had been wanting a quiet place where I could go and read or pray. This is what I came up with.

I love how I was able to re-use my boys old rocking chair as well as my Great Grandma's old chair. The lighting from the window is perfect during the day and there's a cozy little glow from the lamp in the evenings.

This is one of the ADORABLE little throw pillows hand crafted by my SIL. They mean so much to me. On a cold day I also have a few blankets tucked away nearby to grab and snuggle in with!

I'm truly grateful!

Here's a tiny peek into the rest of the room. 

The 1st of a whole makeover that I'll SOMEDAY accomplish!

I had some large bamboo blinds given to me and after cutting them to size and screwing them in with eye-hooks I think they turned out pretty darn cute!

More to follow...but don't hold your breath, it may be a while! ;-)

The somewhat awkward yet super hilarious stage!

Our chicks are now a little over 2 weeks old and every time I go in there to see them they crack me up! Their feathers are starting to grow and even though they're not as cute, they're seriously hilarious!

Dempsey's favorite is a Rhode Island Red we're calling ...drum roll please..."red" : ) He said it's his...so there you have it! Red is the feisty one and really the friendliest and the most protective...I'm actually thinking he may end up a "HE"... it's comb is a little more predominant then some of the others...I had picked another one up last night and again today.. as they were squawking in obvious fright...Red charged at me! hahaha too cute! BUT he also eats out of my hand ever so gently.... He's pretty funny!

This is a group photo and the one in the middle looking right at us is one I like to call Geezer...he just looks like a grumpy old man to me! hahaha!

These two are also quite awkward! The second one is the friendliest of the whole bunch. I'm calling her Jersey! (She's a Black Jersey Giant - original name no?!) She's super sweet. The other, her sister is the shyest and the one who's always hiding in the back!

 This is another of our favorites! Her name is Squirrel. She has a stripe down her back and a diamond on her head...and the cutest chubby looking cheeks! 

Dempsey REALLY wanted to catch one...but I asked him to only pet them gently because they were getting terrified! Poor girls! But it was worth it to see the smile on Dempsey's face! He loves these baby chicks!

For now, we have named them "Red" "Jersey" "Geezer" "Buttercup" "Sprinkles" "Squirrel" "Blue" and the unnamed are the shy Jersey Giant and the Partridge Rock.

Pool Time

Our kids do more than just swim in a pool when it's hot out! 

Pierce likes finding shiny trash! 

Dempsey picks flowers

Pierce puts anything and everything he can find into the pool. 

Then he spots Dempsey's underwares lying on the ground...he runs! HA I think this is the 1st of many battles of the boys! 

Dempsey's face.... priceless!

LOL...
