I should be cleaning…

Posted in Family, and Homemaking

Yes, right now, I should be cleaning.  In fact, I should have been cleaning all day.  We have company coming next week, and the house in not company ready.  Yet, here I sit… not cleaning. D had off from work today.  When he woke up, he decided that he wanted to go look at dirt bikes for himself and Munchkin.  (Note: I do not plan on riding a dirt bike with them.  I’ve learned to never say never – thus the “I do not plan”…)  Normally, this really isn’t a big deal, but the shop was over 2 hours away…

Gratituesday: Reflecting on 2009

Posted in Family

After reading Laura’s post, I started thinking about this past year and thought I would participate in the last Gratituesday of 2009. This past year, the Lord has truly worked in my life in many ways.  He’s humbled me and allowed me to better understand what others may be going through in this difficult economic times.  He’s opened my eyes to things that I didn’t really have a clear picture of prior to the craziness of this past year. We have seen God’s faithfulness as we relocated across country.  We’ve been given a good home, good neighbors, good friends, good…

Having Too Much Fun…

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

No real post today. We’re having too much fun together as a family. Munchkin is having a blast assembling her new lego kits. We’re all having a great time playing our new Wii games. Wii Sports Resort is fantastic! We’ve watched a couple of new movies. Hopefully, I’ll be able to post a few pictures in the near future, but for now, I’m heading back to join in on the family fun!

The Christmas Play

Posted in Family, and Holidays

The kids put a good bit of time into preparing for this play. The adults put even more time in behind the scenes with the set, lighting, costumes… No one knew if it will all come together on Sunday morning. Everyone waited and prayed to see what the Lord would have for this play. Sunday morning came bright and early. Munchkin did not want to get out of bed as it was “too early” (not that Daddy and I didn’t agree), but she crawled out of bed and got ready as she was excited. I surprised her with a new…

Advent Week Three in Review

Posted in Christian Life, Family, and Holidays

Advent Reading:  We continued our reading of Jotham’s Journey. Each night seems to leave us on the edges of our seats.  All of us are enjoying the readings.  We sit in bed.  Daddy and Munchkin cuddle while I read the story.  They tend to giggle at some of the voices that I use.  Munchkin says that my voice for one of the characters is quite creepy (that’s good since he’s really a evil person). School: Munchkin continued with her Names of Jesus study.  This week, she learned about: Redeemer Resurrection and Life The Way, The Truth, The Life Immanuel Holy…
