Another day of swim lessons for the girls. The water should be much cooler this morning after the rain yesterday. Regardless, they are still up pretty earlier with their swimsuits on and ready to go. I have never seen them eat breakfast so fast. June 17, 2009 8:05:3
We made it through cold water swim lessons, now we are enjoying some hot tea and chocolate chip cookies. June 17, 2009 10:55:1

We just finished cleaning up the playroom. Now the hard part, trying to teach them to play then put away. The girls aren't as bad, but 5 minutes for Paul without mom in the playroom means total diaster! I think he is going to be banned for now. June 29, 2009 4:54:1
I have a lot of cleaning, washing, packing, etc in my future before we can leave the kids with the grandparents and head to the mountains to go backpacking! Pray for me, I have not went hiking/backpacking since before the three kids. July 02, 2009 11:22:3

I packed each of the kids a lunchbox to celebrate the first day of school for Hope. They are super exctied, and I have one less chore for tomorrow. They want to eat outside on the deck for lunch. Can't wait. This might become a nightly ritual. :-) August 09, 2009 9:09:5
First day of school down! It was so great. Hope did quite well with her extented workload. August 10, 2009 5:10:1

Cooked three dozen banana nut muffins to freeze. Now I'm cooking up eight batches of chinese fried rice and pork wontons for our OAMC group. 1 for us, 2 for our new neighbors, and the other five for the families in the group. Chinese take-out! Haha August 21, 2009 2:41:1
I have a Shaklee lead I need to follow up on this afternoon! I would much rather share the products with people who are asking. This makes it so much easier for me. I am not a sells person. HAHA

So my girls have tons of PEZ characters that they are playing with now. They have separated them into boys and girls, and the girls are picking who they want to marry based on height. They have less boys than girls so they are having trouble deciding who gets a husband. Humm! August 26, 2009 4:52:5
managing ebay sells, blogging, washing clothes, cleaning, planning for school, grocery shopping, and I am sure several other things I forgot, but will probably remember at the last minute! :-)

Happy Fourth Birthday to Gracie. She is sassy and can't sit still, but our lives would be so boring without her! I can't wait to see how God uses her as she grows. She is a delight and the most hugging, compassionate child (especially to others!) I love her with my whole heart. December 04, 2009

He was born in a stable - not like a king sent to save - this is not a fable - but a truth meant for rave - parables were his specialty - and love He bestowed on all - followers admired his simplicity - and sinners accepted the call - on a cross Jesus hung - His life he gave away - what more could have stung! - are you listening today? - He returned to the Father - and will no longer tarry - His chosen to gather - then heaven to carry - He is our perfection - We are His selection December 17, 2009

We have a full day ahead of making the rest of the gifts for our friends and neighbors. Hope thinks she is getting the day off from school, but she is learning so much during this process. I love that learning happens all day long, not just when we have a book or worksheet in front of us. December 21, 2009
