On my mind - modesty

Ever since Justus was about 15 mos old, Ive really tried hard to not change in front of him, wear immodest clothing or otherwise subject him to visual female stuff. This has been a real challenge for me. I grew up in a home with a sister so it was never a big deal. My dad was of course around, but he was always doing his dad thing and allowed my mom to guide us. But to be careful of my clothing and being diligent in my shower schedule and potty times have been a challenge at times. Ive just been convicted that Justus should learn to respect modesty and Im the best example hes got right now.

Weekend away

We had the great opportunity to go to the beach this weekend. Not only was it Mothers day weekend, but it was also our anniversary weekend. Neils dad had a business contact that let us use their house in Cambria for zero dollars. It was so nice. We went up Friday, just kinda hung out that night, went out to dinner, then Neils parents came up Sat morning. We took the kids to the beach in Cayucus. It was a beautiful day, perfect weather. Then out to lunch, home for naps, then Neils parents watched the kids so we could go out for dinner. We went to Moonstone Beach Bar and Grill and it was so nice. They even gave us a free dessert for our anniversary. Its always nice to get away. The kids had a great time - fun times all around.

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.
