the sun is up and so am i.

It's an early morning for us. Miss Scarlett has gone almost an entire week with no potty accidents!! She really wanted to wear big girl panties to bed last night. We said ok. Well, she woke up yelling "mommy" at 6 something because she had gone peepee in her bed. I know it won't be the last time this happens and I am certainly not upset with her. Anyhow, she is now up for the day... we have watched the sun come up and got an early start to this beautiful Wednesday. Aren't you thankful that the sun didn't just come up by chance today? The God of all creation who never slumbers has watched over each one of us all through the night. And now it is Wednesday, not just by coincidence but because God allowed breath in our lungs today. Thank you Lord! There is something about rising early to welcome the day He has made. 

SJ is enjoying her peanut butter waffle (a favorite of ours!) and watching Curious George. Breakfast and TV, that's something we never do! It's still a little dark in our house...

We go to Bible study this morning, so I started dinner in the crock pot because these usually make for kind of a long days. 

We are trying this new recipe tonight. 

We made a quick trip to the commissary yesterday afternoon after nap, which we usually never venture out after nap-time, and I am so glad our pantry is stocked for a little while. I say a little while because it seems like I need to go to the grocery every other day. But I am so thankful to have this job. 

Okay, a little confession this morning... I love candy corn. This jar used to be full. Yikes. 

Hoping whoever reads this feels the joy of a new day as the sun rises on your home too.
