I KNOW this is WAAAAY late, but the fact is ...Okay. I KNOW this is WAAAAY late, but the fact is that I was about 15 (or so) posts behind on reading your blog. Reason being that 1)I have too many blogs I like, 2)yours is probably my very fave, so I was "saving/hoarding" it for a time when I could really enjoy it ('cause I'm weird like that), 3)I've had a LOT going on in my life lately, and 4)I feel ridiculously depressed about the fact that I feel like I know you (for several reasons) and really don't know you and it sort of bugs me that if I take the time to comment, it won't really matter and will largely go unnoticed. (Enter pridefulness.)<br /><br />Anyway, I have some comments to make, so I'm a makin' 'em. <br /><br />Bloomers OFTEN take one for the team. Ha!<br /><br />Could your mom possibly look ANY more amazing??<br /><br />I KNOW without a shadow of a doubt simply from the way you speak of your children that you are a precious mother, and I wanted you to know that because sometimes we moms have a lot of self-doubt and need to hear some affirmation from perfect strangers. :)<br /><br />Okay. Now. I've commented on your blog before, but I wanted to explain how it is that I ended up here in the first place (it took me a while to figure this out). I started blogging in October '08. When I was setting up my account, I noticed on the "Dashboard" there was this whole section about reading blogs and adding subscriptions, etc. There were even "recommended blogs" for me that somehow Google had drummed up based on...I don't know...the content of my own blog? my gmail activity? my constant googling about parenting issues? Who knows? Anyhoo. Baby Bangs piqued my interest, and I've been here ever since. Only there's more. As I read (and read) your posts, I kept feeling like I knew you. Turns out I had read the blogs of Jackson's little playgroup friends (Ava, Ella, etc.) a LOOONG time ago back when blogging first came about. I will never forget how cute y'all all seemed. Such a perfect playgroup--all the same ages. I didn't actually KEEP UP, but I remember you guys each had the other ones' blogs listed in the sidebar. What a strange coincidence that I would end up right back with y'all again. <br /><br />And THEN months and months ago you mentioned something about your mom and your sister, and that's when it hit me!!! Is this BETH MOORE'S daughter???!!! NO WAY!!!! It IS!!! Amanda! Curtis! Melissa!! I KNOW these people!!! (I mean, I don't, but I have heard your mom on countless DVD's and even at a conference here in Little Rock several years ago relay story after story about Amanda and Melissa. So, yes, I DO know you.) It all makes perfect sense now. Ha! I've gleaned so much knowledge from your mom, though there's so very much still to learn. I just wanted you to know that I think your family is pretty doggone special. And I so enjoy reading about you guys in real life and seeing real-people pictures. Oh, and besides also reading the LPM blog, I still follow your old playgroup friends, too. Do you have any idea how blessed you are to know/be around/be related to so many godly people? I know you do.<br /><br />Okay. I'm done. What do I get for leaving the longest comment EVER on your blog? :) (Say hi to your mom for me! haha!)The Davidson Denhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04257859773498238928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-1055844624677775232009-04-20T01:55:00.000-04:002009-04-20T01:55:00.000-04:00Amen sister!

I love all your pics, but I have to say that I got on your site the other day and told my husband "Wow Ben this girl Amanda looks so different in these pics. I mean I know she lived in Houston and all, but she really looks like BM ( since I dont know how much detail you go into on this site I'll leave it at. But really you do! )Okay so I know some of them are your mom. Anyways I didnt put two and two together until tonight when I heard her talking about yall! OMGGGGGG!!How crazy is that. I drove down from seattle to see her and she ends up being your mom! <br /><br />Crazy world!<br />MandiMandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13723937830877365857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-39869561038119511862009-04-17T23:51:00.000-04:002009-04-17T23:51:00.000-04:00We call it Easters too at our house...and for the ...We call it Easters too at our house...and for the same reason!

He then handed me a business card- his field of expertise is UFOs. Cocked my head to the side, smiled as genuinely as I could and replied with something intelligent like "O-ooh. My husband has worn NVGs before and this will be very interesting to him." How do I always get these opportunities?!<br /><br />I had fun coordinating all three of my kids- I got to buy matching Easter dresses and bows for my girls and it was so fun!

"The amount of time you spend in prayer is directly related to how much you believe you need God". I used that to challenge myself for the week.<br /><br />Grant and I went to New Orleans this weekend to visit his parents for Easter. His Mom had this beautiful calligraphy paper on her refrigerator that said: "The amount of time you spend in prayer is directly related to how much you believe that you need God - Curtis Jones". I asked her if she got that from my blog and she said yes. She said her prayer group loved it. :) The words of Curtis are spreading all the way to Louisiana!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos with us.<br /><br />Jen the NewlywedJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02552482055790069890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-80547929804392765142009-04-14T08:39:00.000-04:002009-04-14T08:39:00.000-04:00Love the pics
