Update

My baby is sick with a fever, declaring "I just need you Mommy" all day. My big girl is having too much fun with Grandma (and before that, Aunt Becky) to talk to me on the phone. My hubby is at a church plant in Oregon (with a team from our church), preparing to preach tomorrow. I am sleepily trying to decide if I should do the dishes and organize my closet or just call it a night. . .

If you are in the are next weekend, come to the garage sale that my sister in law, Pam, and I are having at Pam's house. I have been going through stuff like a mad woman! So far I have gotten rid of two pickup truck loads of stuff and two van loads of stuff for the garage sale! It is ridiculous that I have that much stuff to get rid of. I think I might have some slight hoarder tendencies. I'm getting rid of all my baby stuff too. I'm pretty sure that season of our lives is done, but God may have other plans.

I am missing my Grandma and praying for my Uncle who was diagnosed with Leukemia just a couple of weeks after my Grandma died. It has been a rough year for my family. I am thankful that my Grandpa has gone to church with my Mom twice now, that is huge for him!

We have reinstated family devotions at breakfast and I am loving it! I am so thankful for my Godly leader of a husband. We have a children's catechism book that we go through, I love hearing my girls learning truths about God and memorizing them. Even Anna, at two years old, can learn great truths about God, it's so exciting to watch. We also alternate reading from Rylie's "big girl" Bible and the Jesus Storybook Bible. Then we have prayer time. I love hearing them pray and listening to who/what they choose to pray for.

Pam and I took a little overnight getaway last week at the beach. We scrap booked and ate, and talked and slept in. It was great! I got 42 pages scrap booked! I only have time to scrapbook about twice a year so I have to make the most of it when I can.

Rylie successfully completed her very first soccer season! We were so proud of her! She had a lot of fun. And had a little crush in the process, she told us she was going to marry one of the little boys on her team (the star player), Daddy didn't like that too much! Now on to T-ball!

That's about all the updates I can think of at the moment. I'll try to be better about blogging more than just pictures.
