I didn't realize he was green!!!

Today is a snow day. So Karin came over to make beaded candy canes with the kids. Sacha and Karin were singing Christmas songs with the girls. Well Emma started singing her favorite Christmas song... FROGGY THE SNOWMAN!!!!!!

Emma's new profession!!!

Today my darling daughter Emma, you know the one who will pretty much ONLY wear her yellow rain boots.. decided to cut her hair!!! She chopped the top threw it in the trash and then came to confess it to me. So we dropped Samantha off at school and took her to have it fixed. She now looks so different with bangs (can't wait for them to grow out) So let's see now she is banned from markers, pens and child scissors!!!! When is that beanie gonna learn?

Jewelry

Let me know if you need anything, Christmas is coming you know~~

Going to the ball

Emma just informed me that she needs to get ready for the ball. Out of curiousity I asked her "when is the ball"? She replied "tonight and I am bringing Jesus with me"!!!!

I miss Silas!!!!

Emma keeps asking if she can see Silas and Macie!!!! For those of you who don't know when she says his name she says it with a southern twang. Strange for a New Englander..... I told her we wouldn't see them for a while but showed her this picture.

Daddy really likes sweets!!!

Here are some pictures of us decorating daddy's birthday cake and the finished product. I tried to stop the girls from using all the candy but they insisted that Daddy really likes sweets so we have to use lots of candy!!!

Singing in the car!!!

We have been listening to a christian cd in the car below are the renditions that the girls sing.

Emma- Mommy I want to hear princess and the peas (Prince of peace)
Samantha- Prince of Peas

Samantha- Cast your versions on Jesus (cast your burden)

I love my little babes!!!!

Well, Its Offical

Hi Everyone,

I know that I have been missing lately, it's not that I don't have anything to post I do. Lots and lots of things. My kids are so silly my husband is the best and I have some how adopted and extra 3 also known as the Catalites. Sometimes I feel as if my life is a cartoon ( I mean that in a good way) . Anyway, I guess I have been preoccupied with the thought of me turning 40.

I know that 40 isn't old but it just seems as if I was 20 yesterday getting ready for hurricane Gloria to hit and being so upset my mom wouldn't let me go out. I made my brother drive to go pick up my best friend KC. There was no way that I, me, Cyndie DelOrfano was going to be stranded in the house on my 20th birthday with my family!!! Can you imagine? What a tradgedy!! Well I seem to have matured since then, (I would give anything to spend my birthday with my mom) I have done alot during these past 20 years. I met lots of friends whom I am still close to Brenda, Suzanne, KC, Margarita. Then I met a great guy, then met someone even better through Danny (THE LORD) lost my mom, moved to Hawaii, got married, moved back to Massachusetts had Samantha, bought a house, had a miscarriage, had Emma, found a great church and lots of wonderful new friends, lost a man I admired, loved and worked for, for 15 years and then turned 40!!!! On one hand it seems like alot on the other doesn't seem like much.

In the snap of a finger twenty years gone. I know during the next 20 years I will lose people I love and I will meet lots of new friends but the thing that keeps me going is that I get to spend the next 20 years with the man of my dreams, my best friend, my love Danny. Together we will teach our girls about our Lord and direct them in the path of Him who created me September 27, 1965!!!!!!
Oh yeah I can't forget all the laughs we will have on the way!!!!!!!! Thanks for a great birthday Honey!!!

Jesus is the Rock!!!

So Emma was singing a song tonight as I was putting the girls to bed!

Jesus is the rock of my salvation His banner over me is love. So she kept saying salvation, so i asked her "Beanie do you know what salavation means?" To which she replied "It means ummmm I'm tired" she shut her eyes and fell asleep. That was easy tomorrow I think I will ask her what justification means. We may have a new bedtime routine!!!

Am I really growing???

Samantha turned 5 last sunday and again I was telling her to stop growing!!! Here is our conversation!!!
Me: Samantha you have to stop growing
Samantha: I can't mumma I tried
Me: I want you to stay like this forever
Samantha: You are still growing
Me: I am?
Samantha: yup
Me: Am I getting taller?
Samantha: Wider!!!!

Anyone want a 5 year old??

Mumma is it true???

So I was telling Samantha today that Danny and I are going to go on a marriage retreat and we would be staying at a hotel and Karin would be babysitting her and Emma. So she asked me "what are you going for?". I told her that we were going to have fun and maybe come home with a baby brother for her. Well she just looked at me and walked away. About 1/2 hour later she comes back to me and says mommy were you just joking???? I told her I was and she said "cuz I didn't think you could get babies at hotels.. :)

I need to rinse out the air conditioner

I'm baaaaack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Samantha is growing so fast. She is going to be 5 in 2 weeks and is starting to out grow baths. Since she is swimming under water now she has decided to take showers. This morning she was showering and i asked her "are you done sweetie" to which she replied "almost i just have to rinse out the air conditioner" I love that girl!!!!!

I need pricey!!!

Emma is 90% potty trained by now and would have been done a long time ago had it not been my laziness. Well everytime she heads to the potty she shuts the door and tells us that she needs pricey (privacy)!!!!
Hmmmm I wonder how I can cash in on some privacy!!!!!

Blown Away!!!

Here I am sitting here this morning, drinking my Java and the thought just came into my mind like a tornado. I was thinking wow did Christ really die for me? It is so hard to believe, well in one sense I know for sure he did and cleansed my black heart and soul in His blood to be pure in His image. On the other hand it blows my mind to think that He did that, so selfless, so loving, so holy, so kind, so forgiving, so sweet I could go on and on and and fill up this whole blog.
Danny preached this Sunday and when he was speaking he was teaching from Acts 17:1-34 when Paul was in Athens and there was an idol for an "unkown god" then he touched on

Psalm 115:3-18

But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases.
Their idols are silver and gold, The work of man's hands.
They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see;
They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell;
They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat.
Those who make them will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them.
O Israel, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.
The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.
He will bless those who fear the LORD, The small together with the great.
May the LORD give you increase, You and your children.
May you be blessed of the LORD, Maker of heaven and earth.
The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, But the earth He has given to the sons of men.
The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor do any who go down into silence;
But as for us, we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forever. Praise the LORD!


It is just amazing when you think about how precious our God is. Thank you Lord for hanging on a cross for me.

Momma's blog is basking in the son s-o-n

Well, we were having dinner last night and Danny and I were talking about our blogs etc.... Danny told me that I was the biggest blogger of them all. Then Samantha piped in and said momma's blog is basking in the son S-O-N. Isn't it amazing how they don't miss a beat?

Paul Nailish

Samantha and Emma just love to have their nails and piggie toes painted. They sit there patiently waiting for them to dry properly. When Daddy gets home from work Samntha runs to him and exclaims excitedly "Daddy look at my paul nailish"

I got it at Ingaldsby!!!

Last night we were sitting at the table having dinner. Emma starting singing amazing grace it her cute little voice. Danny asked her "where did you get that cute little voice?" (we thought she may say "Jesus". Well to our suprise she said "Ingaldsby!!!" (a farm that we go to all the time).
Too cute!!!!!

She's off to kindergarten and I'm having a nervous breakdown!!!!!

Well I thought this day would take a long time to get here, boy was I wrong. Samantha finished her last day at preschool and this fall is heading off to kindergarten. We went to an ice cream social at her new school last night and all i kept thinking is Lord please please please protect her little soul. She is so sweet and keeps telling me that she was a little nervous that preschool is over. But on the other hand she is so excited to head off to her new big girl school. Before you know it Emma will be heading off to kindergarten too.
Isn't it funny how the Lord gives you these things to deal with knowing full well that you will be on your knees looking to Him.... Thank you Lord for my family.

I'm in blogworld!!!!

Well I did it!!!! My husband has been blogging for months and I decided to blog too!! Like they say when in Rome.....
