“Where does the spirit of the world tree originate?? In the gentle breezes that touch our inner self? in the passing and rising of the warm sun? Seriously where does the spirit of the tree come from that gives us the feeling of security and protection just from it’s presence and the knowing it has always “been”? There is no wrong answer just tell me how you feel?” Read the rest of this entry »

First Time for Everything
Our printer died a while back and we’ve been putting off getting one for awhile. Yesterday was the day. I, Stephanie, for the first time in my life scanned a picture on our new printer/copier/scanner. Yep that’s right I took my index finger and “pushed” the little button that says “scan”and…….. Voila a picture!!! I realize this is nothing to get excited about and that I’m very much behind the times. Regardless, it’s good to know I have capability of such things. Here are the wished for wedding pics from my anniversary post.
Mushyness Ahead–
I’ve decided to try and conquer the neglected photos from the past 5 years. Organizing and filing memories from that many years is quite a job, but I know if I keep putting it off the pile is only going to grow bigger. I must confess my rummaging has brought back a TON of memories. Read the rest of this entry »
5 Year Anniversary!
Soooooo I’ve been carrying around wedding pics to scan. I wanted to post them on the blog BUT I don’t think it’s going to happen. Sorry… We had a great day together! Here’s a couple of picks the baby sitter took before we left.
HOTNESS
It is 106 degrees on my back porch!!!!!!!!!!!
The weird thing is I have a major head cold. Humidifier, cold meds, and everything?!?! What’s the deal with that?
Sure hope wherever you are reading from is cooler than here.
Good Start–
Monica was awake at 6:30 today. This is unusual for her. Normally she sleeps until 8:30 or 9:00am. Yes mommies out there, I know that’s FABULOUS sleeping habits!! However this morning her early rising made me a bit sad. It wasn’t because I was missing sleep but because I had set my alarm in hopes I could get up before the kids. Read the rest of this entry »
Children’s Camp Pics
There were a million “perfect” picture moments while we were at camp. Sadly I didn’t bring my camera. All of the pics below were shared by friends. My kids made their own ice cream, decorated sesame street figure cupcakes, fished, jet skied, swam, wrestled with all of the counselors, fed turtles, danced to the worship music, and loved hanging out with all the kids. Uncle Stu (who is a kids pastor) and Aunt Sarah were there as well which made it x-tra special to share in the week. It was an awesome camp of which I felt so privileged to take part of. I didn’t get the final count but I know MANY children came to know the Lord between the two churches that attended. One fifth grader from our church told his mom, “I ‘revitalized’ my life tonight!” How precious to see children excited about Jesus!
Recovery Week
My posts have been a bit sporadic lately. WHY?? Because I must confess I’ve been stretched to the limit this summer. I’m sure it’s probably only the beginning stages of motherhood but for me all of our interesting “incidents” had completely worn me out. I’m just a rookie I guess.
I didn’t tell you before, BUT Read the rest of this entry »
We’re Back…
I’ll hold you in suspense until tomorrow before I share where we have been–
Last leg of summer…
things have been a bit “hum-drum” since my last post. “Hum-drum” isn’t a complaint just our status of life– actually I’m so glad it’s that way and not the craziness we’ve been in. Our “norm” has consisted of moving back in our home, DEEP cleaning, having a yard sale, putting up corn, and seeing Steven off for his last six days of summer camps with the youth. I am so very ready to get him back home for good!!
Today is my birthday (27 years old) and to celebrate I think we are going to drive up to where Steven and the youth are– hoping that will be fun.
On a side note please be in prayer for our church members that are leaving for India tomorrow. There are several mommies that are leaving their little ones in order to serve. My heart goes out and prayers up for them and their families while they are separated.
Okay well that’s about it. A few pics of our past week-
