Morning Musings

Morning Musings - all before leaving the breakfast table!! One from Stella and one from Samuel:
Samuel this morning at the breakfast table told me we needed to get a doughnut maker. When my sister and I were growing up my mother had a doughnut maker and she would make chocolate doughnuts (the best!!). I thought maybe Samuel and my mom had had a conversation about this and he had drawn from that he wanted one. So just to confirm, I said "Why do you think we need a doughnut maker?" and my four year old said "Becuase they have one on "The Price is Right"!!".
Did I mention Darrell's favorite game show is "The Price is Right"?" So much for educational tv.


Stella was sweet singing the Brandon Heath song "Give me your eyes for just one second". In that song there are lots of "uuuh-huhhs" and she got all of them on cue. I love this song and it was so sweet to hear her singing along. God renews us each day.....sometimes we just have to make sure we're paying attention. :)

Stewart Family Mission Statement

Back in April, our family (Darrell's Mom's brother and sister) got together in Lenior, NC to celebrate several April birthdays and attend Goudapalooza '08. As part of the celebration each family was asked to bring their Mission Statement. As you can see, I miss using the marketing/advertising part of my brain. We collected famous "tag lines" to create our mission statement.

The Stewart Family Mission Statement:
As a growing family we believe “We get it”. There has been “One love since 1994”. We “Believe in the best” and believe “This is the place to be”. We love our family and it is “Grown for pleasure”.
Every morning we “Wake up with the King “ and always “Answer to a higher authority”.
Mommy believes “The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup” and we frequently find ourselves wondering “Got milk?”
Each day we promise to “Grab life by the horns”, even when “It takes a licking and keeps on ticking” because we believe “We bring good things to life” and “Quality is job one”. Often times “The only easy day was yesterday” and yet we are still grateful. We strive for “Getting things done” with our “Heart to God, hand to man”.
At the end of the day we still shout “Just do it”, “Do unto others as you would have done unto you”, and “Be all you can be”. But on the occasional “You deserve a break today”, “For all you do, this Bud's for you”. Because there are days where “Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't”.
So, “Life's good” and “There's no life like it”. “Feel the force”. “It's everywhere you want to be”.
Because at the end of the day “You can't top the copper top”. “He keeps going and going and going”.
