Veteran Parent Wannabe

This sweet woman and one of my best friends, Kyra, just had her third daughter (and we are the same age).  She is wise beyond her years, and I hope I can emulate some of her awesome parenting skills.
Remember this pic... it was taken just a month ago.
This was just taken last night. She has a three-week old, and she and her hubby were ready for a night out in downtown Atlanta already
The Karrs introduced us to a great new singer- Josh Garrels. Amazing voice! We enjoyed their "Mason Jar Music" movie and concert at "Center Stage Theater"
Matthew learned his own tricks from the veteran dad
Even though he looks happy, Livia could smell his fear
Thanks for a great night Reid and Kyra, y'all are true veterans

Influenced

influence....... influenced. The latter word signifies a condition where someone else has an effect on your life. Taking off one little letter seems to insight a condition where you are the one acting upon the lives of others. I wish I could claim that I am rarely influenced by the opinions of others, but sadly that is not the case. If it does not go against my beliefs, principles, or well-being, I am one of those people that can easily jump on a bandwagon if presented with the material in an intelligent and legitimate manner. For that reason, I stay away from most things that can have a potential momentary or negative influence on my life. Unfortunately when it comes to little Levi, there are many different people taking care of him, and there are many different opinions regarding his current and future condition. For some reason, since the day Levi was born though, I have not searched the internet for a single thing regarding his care or condition. I believe God has protected me fro...
