Oh the joys of baby sitting!!!

So yesterday I babysat my cousin's kids, Tyler and Eleana Atkins. And talk about cute! Tyler is 2 and Eleana is 2 months. So for your enjoyment I took pictures from the day.

Eleana and Tyler

So to start out the day... Tyler decided that he wanted macaroni and cheese for Breakfast:-)


and I put Eleana in her little bouncy seat


which she loves to play in! ( that smile is just the cutest thing???)

we played inside for a while and then we went for a walk but that did not last very long because it started raining. We came back inside and Tyler had a snack...


Then I fed her and she went to sleep....aww....


and she woke up. Then we had a diaper change which made her really happy!

Then I fed Tyler lunch! wow that was a BIG mess to clean up!!!
Then Eleana woke up from yet another nap and (take note of the new dress that was um... the 4th diaper change:-) So she was happy to get all clean and dry yet again!!

And just when I thought things were going good this happens! So I fed her! and then she was happy again! LOL!



So then we go down stairs and I took a picture of Tyler kissing his little sister! ( wow those are some red eyes:)


Then of course the day would not be complete without taking pictures of us all!
Eleana and yours truly..... :-)

Eleana was a good fill-in for Lucy.:)

at long last... an update!!!!!!!!!!

Well I know it has been like forever since I said anything of interest to you all. so here it goes. First of all I started a new Sunday school class that is really good! this is one of my homework assignments to put this passage into my own words. here is what the bible says...

Titus 2:3-5

: The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4: That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5: To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Then here is what I came up with after alot of work.

Older Women likewise. Do things that direct you toward holiness. Do not be false accusers, or being given to much wine, but be ye teachers of good things.

So that you can teach the younger women to show self-control, to love there husbands, to love and care for there children.

To show prudence and wise self-restraint in speech and behavior,

To be sexually pure. honorable, kind, and friendly

To be obedient to there own husbands, so that the word of God not blasphemed

I really love doing that! Digging into God's word and really trying to grasp what he is trying to say though a particular passage. It really blessed me today so I thought I would share. The only thing I wish I could get better is making it flow better.... Oh well.
