More Free Stuff!

You might remember that back at Christmas time, a lady from our church gave us a play kitchen for free, well, shes at it again. This time she gave us an outdoor play structure. She said her boys have just out grown it and would rather ride their bikes anyhow. God is so good to us! He puts such amazing people in our lives!

Yay for Backyard Fun

Since our grass is all in and Neil mowed it the other day and the weather was amazing tonight, we went outside and played and played and played. It was so nice to be outside enjoying it all!

Crabby Kids

Neil was gone all last week. We had a crazy busy weekend. Neil was gone again Wed and Thurs. Im reaping the repercussions of crabby kids. Lets face it, life isnt nearly as good without Dad around!

Bum-mer

I lost my phone yesterday. Considering its the only phone I have - we dont have a land line - I was completely bummed! To top it off, Neil was out-of-state traveling. Thankfully his phone gets emails and at least I could email him. But goodness, I was super irritated. I still cant find it. I only went one place and its not there or in route to there. Ive looked everywhere imaginable. I lost it in like a 2 hour time frame. Im disgusted. So after the kids get up, we are off to the ATT store.

Yellow

Yellow is one of my most favorite colors. I have plans of painting Havens room a bright, sunny, cheery yellow. I love yellow - it reminds me of the warm sun. I hate yellow when my son uses it to describe the color of my teeth.

Our biggest fans

We had our biggest fans over for dinner tonight. Paul and Betty Read are so super supportive of me and my family. I cant tell you how much they have done for us. They are great friends of my parents - in fact they were my parents spiritual mentors when they were younger. When I moved to town, they quickly took me under their wing and had me over for dinner, helped me find a job, and in general, just looked out for me. Then when I got married, they loved Neil. Then when my kids came, they loved them too. These people (aside of course from our family, cause we all know they love us best and truly are #1) have done so much for me and for what I love, what I want to accomplish, what I feel and what I want to do for Jesus. Always listening, always praying, always loving. I think Justus definitely felt this tonight!

Huh?

This is the response I get most of the time when I tell or ask Justus anything. Even when I repeat myself 3000 times. I really have to stop and wonder if he cant hear me or doesnt get it or what. Im pretty sure Im not mumbling. Its not like for the previous days of his life I spoke any differently. Or maybe hes just repeating what I say to Neil.....I dont know but its getting on my nerves!
