Feelin' yucky

Mastitis=No fun

Praise God for Drs. & antibotics

Oh happy day

Paid $1.89 per gallon to fill up the mini-van this morning.

Candy Cane Joe-Joes (Trader Joe cookies)~oh, yummy goodness!

Spending time with Jesus.

Watching "The Star of Christmas" Veggie Tale with Tal and giggling together.

Digging out my "Listening Center" from my classroom complete with 20 different book-on-tape sets for Tal to start listening to.

Finding a leotard/tu-tu for Tal at a good price at a consignment store.

Praying for friends.

Cuddling and playing with Lil'

Seeing the sun come out.

Knowing Kyle gets home in about 4 more hours.

A good day indeed.

Wordless Wednesday~Playing Together

Just another Monday night

Complete with sushi & a cute chicken...

And of course....Lil

(who is rolling over, scooting across rooms now)

I've emerged.....

Where have I been everyone keeps asking me...why I haven't been blogging lately. I've been in sort a hibernation lately. Kyle went on a business trip about a month ago and I just didn't have time to blog that week as I was flying solo and then after he got back days went by with no blogging, then a week and now a month. So I will try slowly to catch all of you up on the happenings in my life. I will say though that I have been planning for a while now to take over Kyle's grad school laptop so I can blog in the family room on the couch...and now that I have accomplished that goal there may be more blogging in my future. So here is what I've been up to:

• Finished up Talia's soccer season (Very happy it's all done)
• Working on a discipleship study with our community group
• Meeting up with old & new friends on Facebook
• Watched "Bella"....if you haven't seen it, watch it! It's a wonderful movie
• Co-hosted a baby shower for a good neighborhood friend
• Reading through some new Lori Wick books
• Tal had an ear infection and Lil is still teething...both kept me pretty busy
• Trying somewhat successfully to declutter my house again
• Organize/Go through my old classroom boxes....what to keep, what to throw away!
• Contemplating home schooling...reading, praying, thinking
• Broke up with MOPS
• Lil' starting solid foods
• Playing "Candyland" & "Go Fish" over & over again
• Visited with some old but good friends
• Early Christmas shopping
• Laundry, laundry, laundry....
• Reflecting, praying, responding to what God is teaching me right now
