Wow. It's been a while since I have posted a "real" post. Life has been busy and crazy.
Hey, it's an excuse right?:)
So, let me think.... This month, the boys started cubbies and are loving it..mostly because their nannie is running it.:)
Samantha started her 3rd year in cubbies. She is memorizing the longer version of the same verses. It's adorable, really, listening to them all recite scripture.
Cassie is in faith weavers....they journal and memorize scripture too.
Tyson and I both serve on Wednesday nights, he with 3rd grade boys and I in the youth group..so Aeva has been coming with me..she is a little busy to be sitting still though.:)

Tyson and I just got back from our 2nd Cedar Point trip of the year. This time we went kidless though. It was amazingly fun. The day turned out perfect even though they were calling for rain.
Bekah stayed with the kids for 2 nights and did an awesome job. It's so nice to have someone who is so reliable and trustworthy to stay with my kids..I don't even have to leave any instructions, because she already knows everything.:) It was a nice getaway and a good stress reliever.

This weekend, my mom and I are going to Fort Wayne for an E womens conference.
Chonda Pierce is one of the speakers(she is HILARIOUS) and Mandesa from AI is doing the music. SOOO looking forward to that.

I've been reading a book by Charles Swindoll called Laugh Again. It has realy been challenging me. It talks about Joy and joy stealers and has made me take a good hard look at my life and how joyful I am....or unjoyful is more the case.

I think God wants me to learn to be content in all circumstances..whether in plenty or in want...like Paul. It's really hard for me.:(

I am being called by some little poeple who are done playing together nicely and are ready for a snack and quiet time.
Today has been a good day...I got the house cleaned,laundry done, dishes put away, vacuumed,
cleaned the ceiling fans( since it's now COLD outside,they won't be turned on for a while)
The bigger little kids have played well together while little Aeva naps and I have had 3 cups of tea. As much as I complain, I like Fall. Maybe not the 30 % temps it's suppose to be tonight, but the jeans and sweaters and tea....that I like.:)
