Good Times

Here I sit relaxing after a full weekend! I told you about our day Saturday. I thought you might like to see some pictures. Here is little LadyBug on a horse for the first time. The man helping her is the father of the friend having the birthday. Isn't she tiny?






Everyone tried to get the GuitarMan on a horse. He said, "No way, no how you will NEVER get me on a horse!" Well, everyone has a price I suppose. See, we all love that cowboy in the above picture and keep praying to see him come to the Lord. My son told him, "You come to church tomorrow and I'll ride." They shook hands on it. The GuitarMan rode the horse and Sunday morning we had a cowboy come to church! That is quite the example of creative thinking when inviting someone to church!

Sunday we had an awesome service at church. There was a poem read in memory of a lady that died from cancer. Then her mother spoke briefly thanking the church for all that was done and telling how happy her daughter was to have grown up there. The GuitarMan and a friend did a couple of duets. They sounded so good together! I hope we will be blessed with that again soon!

After church we ate lunch at a friend's. If you are a regular reader you know we are in the South. Just to show you how crazy the weather can be....Saturday morning we had 75 degree weather with severe thunderstorms and tornados. It cleared to a cloudy status by early afternoon so that we were able to enjoy being outdoors. This morning we woke up to snow! Here is a picture taken at our friend's house before lunch.

Here is the same area after lunch!

We got to watch FireProof too. My son had already watched it and loved it. Now I see why! Please, please if you haven't seen this movie take the opportunity to do so! It had so many lessons in it that provide reasons for discussion. It was very well made.

The GuitarMan got a late start heading back to school. I spoke with him tonight making sure he made it back okay. He spent a lot of time visiting this weekend and did not get a lick of homework done. So he was looking at a long night with an estimated 4 hours of Music Theory ahead of him. Although it will probably feel like a short night today! But based on what he said I have a feeling he didn't mind it a bit! Apparently it was worth the sacrifice! :o)

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, ...

Why the Hurry?

We are indulging in an early lunch today after having a late breakfast. I would say it is due to growth spurts but I'm not sure. Unfortunately mine tend to be outward rather than upward so I am hoping that isn't the case for Mama! :P As I went towards the kitchen to fix lunch LadyBug frantically called, "Wait, wait! Mama look at my picture!" She had worked so hard to color a kitty in a coloring book. The head was royal blue and the body orange while it sported a jaunty red bow. (Just so you Auburn fans know it...there was some Crimson Tide thrown in there, ha!) I praised her for staying in the lines while in my head I thought of how an adult would have had to made it look more real. Have you noticed that about children? The majority of young children never color a picture to look real. They use different colors all over. FlowerChild used to color pictures of people and animals with a pattern of up to 8 colors at a time! Have you ever seen a plaid horse? How about a st...

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...
