Contented Sunday

Have you met with the Lord today? What a privilege! I am so thankful for my church family. As it was approaching time for service I just looked at my sweet children. One was snoozing away on a friend's shoulder. FlowerChild was happily playing and talking with another friend's precious baby. The baby was gazing up at her and clutching her finger in such a trusting way. What a gift to have so many people who love the Savior, also love our children and want to help point their lives to Him.

In my last post I mentioned we had a visit from my aunt and uncle. I really enjoyed seeing them but I found out today what my little ones thought of it. Our Children's Director opens Children's Church time with a bit of conversation and prayer requests followed by prayer. When she asked if anyone had done anything special this week FlowerChild's hand shot up. I wondered what she would say as you never can tell with her! She said we had a special visit from someone and went on to tell all about their visit. She and LadyBug really enjoyed it. Then when she asked for prayer requests FlowerChild wanted to thank God for giving Uncle ________and Aunt ________ a safe trip and letting them come to her house. It was so sweet!


It's been quite dreary out today but it has made for a relaxing day. I love Sunday afternoons when we can follow our normal routine. When we get home from church I cook lunch. It's the only day that I actually cook at lunchtime. After lunch we have quiet time for the rest of the afternooon until time to go back to church. It is amazing how even the baby just knows this is a day for rest. Today they haven't acted as though they felt very well so a day of rest was welcomed by all!

    I don't know when you did it, but I love the new layout. It's so feminine!!

    Oh, and I think Chicken Little is intrigued by the FlowerChild!! She gets excited when she sees her!!

    Hey Mama Hen!
    I love to rearrange so since my house doesn't provide very much of an outlet I use my blog instead LOL! But thanks I like it too.

    My girls love Chicken LIttle! They talk about her all the time!

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Happenings Around Here

Well, another dog lost. :( This time it wasn't a car but something more sinister...a rattlesnake. She was bitten yesterday evening and lasted about 4 1/2 hours. Poor little Chi-Chi is only about 6 pounds or so and just couldn't take the venom. LadyBug seems to be taking it the hardest among the children. Our Bassett Hound, Daisy, and Chi-Chi are the best of friends and poor Daisy has spent the day looking for her. So sad. The GuitarMan has finished his semester and is home now. I introduced him to Pilates this morning. We worked out together. Ha ha, now if that wasn't a sight I just don't know what would be! He has a new found admiration for it now though. Afterwards I cut the FisherMan's hair outside under the plum tree while the children played in the pool. He asked if there was a way we could be any more redneck. I had plenty of ideas on that if he wanted but he didn't want to take part lol. Apparently it was a rhetorical question. This week was one of apprec...

Baby Steps

Hope you've had a good day today. We have been having some lovely autumn weather at our house! Yet I still have the urge to get the Christmas decorations out. Normally I am one of those people who likes to get Thanksgiving completed before moving on into the Christmas festivities. But there is just something about this year that has me ready to get all of the holidays going and squeeze out all the wonder. So my house now has icicle lights hung 3/4 of the way across the front. It's a small start but still an official start! I can't wait for the holiday cooking shows on Food network and the Christmas romantic comedy movies to begin. We also did a little rearranging today along with some cleaning out. I am going through the children's things and doing away with broken toys or the things that just don't interest them. I still have a ways to go until I can check "satisfied" or "completed" on my mental list. But still, like the Christmas lights, I can ...
