Peabody Park Splash Pad

Little Rock has a neat Splash park. We try to go once a year cause it's something different and fun for the girls. The first time we went, presley was just a couple days old....Fun times! She had a blast this time. Why do kids love to stand on the water so that it shoots right to their little diaper butts!?!






When I look at these pictures, I can't help but think of a friend Amber Barham and her family.  She was with us at the splash pad the day these pictures were taken.  We sat on a blanket watching our kids run and splash in the water... we talked about how it had been almost a year since the last time we were both at the splash pad.  We were taking picture of our girls under the water fountain and we joked that we would post them to FB and pretend we were on a fabulous vacation together.  That night Amber and her girls' world changed.  Her husband passed away.... I can't help but wonder why her?  The day before we were both so equal and happy and doing so much of the same stuff and now her life is so different.  I didn't know Brett very well, and I can't even claim to know Amber all that well... but, as a mom of girls who love their daddy, and as a wife who loves her husband my heart breaks for her.  I think about them all the time. I wish I had a magic wand that I could wave and make it all better. 
Please pray that God will wave his wand for the Barham family!
