I see you and a juicer

So the other day, we were out running some errands and Ethan looks at Craig and says, "I see you" out of the middle of no where. He is learning how to talk and says random things at random times. It's so much fun and so cute to watch and listen to him. It's also a reminder to us that what we say will eventually come out of his mouth too. Matthew 12:24 tells us that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. (paraphrasing of course) Philippians 4:8 tells us to think on honest, just, pure, and lovely thoughts that are of a good report. (paraphrasing again) It's so important for us parents to have our own walk right with the Lord so that we may lead our children to do and say the right things. What goes in will eventually make its way out.

We have been wanting a juicer for a while now, and we finally broke down and got one. It was a little expensive, but totally worth every penny! We have started making our own juice every morning. It's SOOO good!! Right now, being sick with colds, we have been juicing fruits that are high in vitamin c. Our favorite mix so far are oranges, apples, and mangoes. It's hard to describe, but the juice is not really a runny juice like you would buy at the store. The mix of juices makes more of a juicy smoothy. I cannot wait to go to a farmers market and buy organic strawberries and some bananas and make a real strawberry-banana juice smoothy! =)
