Saben's first day to the Vet and the Groomer

Bas picked out a Razorback Jersey for Saben to wear after he was done at the Groomer. He had a busy day today - we went to Starbucks, the vet, the groomer, Petco, Chick Filet and stopped by the office to let the girls see him... and of course to Poppy and Grams for a quick visit. He was worn out by the time we got home. He and Steve are sleeping in the recliner. They are big babies. Uhh, I mean BUDDIES. :)

Merry Christmas, from our home to yours!

The newest addition to the Selman home: SABEN.
You could have taken back the Wii, the cell phone, and all the toys and clothes. Saben was a huge hit! He is a 6 month old Havanese and has quickly become a part of the family.

In Better Hands

God has proven to be a faithful father.

My cup runneth over...

I was at the church today talking to Twana and she asked if I knew Bas had been handing out G's business cards at church a few weeks ago. I had no idea so she filled me in. Apparently, Bas had a huge handful of dads cards and was giving them out & telling people, "If you need any work done, this is my G's card and he is working from Heaven now." How comforting to know Jehovah-shalom, our peace... Jehovah-raah, our caring shepherd. The Shepherd knows his sheep and calls each one by name. Isaiah 49:16 says "I have written your name on my hand."

"G's Building"

Three's company here. Bas, Bryzen & Savannah taking a break.

Bas was at the church so often with my dad, he pretty much gave us the tour himself. He's been in the job trailer and mingling with the construction crew from day one. There is even a rock with his name on it (courtesy of Cody Gilmore), in the foundation of the building. When he is sad that G is gone, I remind him of that day and how special it will be to worship God in a sanctuary that G and he helped build together. Sabastian is so tender hearted and always wants to give people all he has. There is no doubt in my mind who he got that from - his G.


Savannah June sporting a Glidewell hard hat... She's all girl and doesn't like to get dirty, but is very proud to wear G's hat.

Life is precious... take the time.

Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father's house; I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going there to prepare a place for you. After I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me so that you may be where I am. John 14:1-4

It's gonna be an "interesting" year!

I just received a phone call from the school counselor. She was laughing and said Sabastian's teacher just wanted to let me know that if I was missing a cordless phone at home, it's because Bas brought it to school today... Apparently the phone was a little 'out of range' at the school and I think Bas might be a little 'out of range' when he gets home tonight!

First day of school 07-08

Ok I must admit, I've been looking forward to getting back into a routine with the kids once school started (and yes, looking forward to daily tennis again too) - and I thought I was well prepared for this day... but my baby started Kindergarten today and I've suddenly realized how fast the kids are growing. What precious gifts God gives us. What a true honor as a parent, to be entrusted with one of Gods miracles.



I didn't realize what Bas was doing until I got the picture downloaded... He's showing his MUSCLE to the girls! Wow, he hadn't even made it into the school yet.

...she can laugh at the days to come. Prov. 31:25

Heading to family pictures, Sabastian decides he wants to listen to "Sports" on XM Radio, just like dad... "Sabastian, you don't know enough about sports to merit me changing the channel." "Uh, MOM?! I know allll about t-ball!"

Girls just wanna have fun!
