A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

Ok so this picture may not look like much but the story behind it was too cute not to post. So Brock is sitting there looking at his grubby, dirty little boy foot when all of the sudden with wonder in his voice he says "Mom look at this!" I walk over expecting a sliver or some such thing when he says " look mom I see one of the special shapes that the Lord Jesus used to make me". And when I looked he was looking at the lines on the bottom of his foot and one made a triangle. He proceeded to tell me that there must have been a triangle in the box when the Lord dumped it out to build him. Ha ha I guess maybe we need to be a little more specific when we say what the Lord made and how He did it!

A Rainy Fall Weekend

So my kids and I love, love, love rainy fall weather so when we heard that it was supposed to rain on Friday we were so excited. However the rain came in the night and we were bummed. Greg kindly reminded us that we should be thankful for the rain that we got. So since the rain had departed we decided to go to the little local fair on Saturday after lunch but.....after lunch our so loved rain decided to come down in buckets! It was amazing how fast we changed from wanting the rain to wanting it to go away. Are we ever satisfied? Anyway we were feeling bad for the kids that even though we were getting our rain we were now missing the fair. So Greg lit a fire and I ran to the store ( in the pouring rain ) and we had dinner then sat around the fire and made s'mores in the rain that we again loved, loved, loved!

A Work in Progress...My Red Wall

Forever I have wanted a red wall in my house....anywhere....any wall...I just knew that I would love a bright splash of color somewhere. After much thought I decided that it should be a dining room wall, now all I had to do was talk the husband into it. So after much persuasion he is painting my wall. It looks fabulouso! After I have my new curtains up I will have to post a finished pic but here it is for now

I think I feel fall in the air .....well maybe!

Well summer is over and the kids are back in school. The acorns are dropping and the squirrels are back so now I'm dying for fall. However today is going to be a mere 95 degrees ugh!! I think I'll crank up the air, light some candles that smell fallish, drink a pumpkin latte and close my eyes and use my imagination. I see trees...with bright colored leaves swirling to the ground... Ahhh... just one of the things I miss about Washington!

Let the blogging begin....

Ok so here goes...I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm gonna try.
