These are a few of my favorite things......

Being that I, Kara Christine Adams, am turning the year of our Lord (plus one) this coming Wednesday, I am registered at Target and Barnes & Noble. Just kidding, just kidding, just kidding. But, seriously my birthday wish list is world peace and a garlic press. I am super excited to turn another year older, this weekend I had the greatest pleasure to spend time with my best friend (who is currently the year of our Lord -1) in her town of Raleigh, NC. Alyssa Katherine IS one of my favourite things, she showed me how God loves 21 years ago when we made acquaintance. God accepts at all times and that's what she did. Thank you Alyssa, I love you and cherish our friendship. My children ARE my favourite things, they continuously teach me to pray earnestly and see through their eyes, eyes that know not of a world filled with hate and shame. To see beauty through innocence and not old, warped, broken glasses. I have love because I am loved and I give love. Thank you mom, thank you Dana, thank you family and friends for your love and your time, your efforts and endless memories. Every year gets better, no matter the hardships or trials I face. I am loved and my vision becomes more precise each passing year, not due to my optimism yet, because of whom I am blessed to be with. God shares only His best and if we seek it, we might find that standing in the waterfall of His grace is the ONLY way to experience the fullness of life.


Ps.
Okay, okay, if world peace can not be covered than I will gladly accept a cover case for my coolpix camera or the most awesome book evah: The Secret Language of Birthdays by Gary Schneider and Joost Elffers! For those of you that don't know me....still kidding, yet let's celebrate because I'm so fun!

Six year olds

Last Monday, my youngest boy turned six. My handsome boy, Seth Elliott, knows just how to find your soft spot. He is officially known as "Boo" in our home and he can out snuggle anyone. He makes us smile with his car obsession, he has always loved them and could handle his electric jeep at the age of 1.5 (more so than his older brothers)! Every day he tells me: "I love you mommy," and every other day he says: "Your the best Mommy ever!" Yes, I do believe he knows how to soften many of hearts. He is very thankful, which in turn allows me to learn from him. His grateful heart inspires me to see through this life with loving eyes. He delights in laughter, he falls down and gets up with zeal, and he completely loves. He is tough, at the age of three he had to have 7 staples in his head due to an accident on the brick steps of our house. He and his brothers were playing hard, for a moment (well, several moments) I lost it. There was blood everywhere -on his shirt and his dad's shirt. I freaked, my baby boy was hurt and I had to watch him suffer through pain. He recovered quickly, showing that toughness. He may be tough when it comes to playing rough, but I get to experience his warm hugs, encouraging words and precious kisses. Happy 6th year boo, I love you. Your my baby bear and I wouldn't trade you for anything.
