Mama Says

Well, we've got one busy week ahead of us...so I thought I'd just post to say that I won't be posting for the rest of the week....if I can stand it! I figure if I tell you not to expect anything and I have an unexpected lull...then you'll all be surprised! We've got our community group, double date on Thursday, Friday my parents are coming for the weekend plus a rehearsal dinner for a wedding on Saturday in which Josiah is the ring bearer and Brent and I are reading Scripture! Whew! We'll be baking pies, shopping for last minute wardrobe accessories, making a rosemary syrup for the lemonade at the reception, getting Josiah a haircut (yikes!), and doing the mounds of laundry that have piled up while we've been out gardening and playing in the sunny (formerly) weather!
I do have a yummy curry red lentil dish that I've written down to share with you (I never write anything down!)...that we had last night for dinner and that I could eat at least once a week.....but I guess I'll just leave you with that teaser! So stay tuned, though not for the rest of the week! Love to you all....enjoy your Memorial day weekend!

Gotta love 'em....

I know, I know....most of you have moved on from this holiday....but I'm just now starting to get back to reality, and finally wanted you to see what we were doing during that season when you didn't hear from me for a while! I promise this will be the last!!

"I have no idea what these are yet, but I'll put my mouth all over them to see what it tastes like!"

"Jammin" with Grandma on "O Come Let Us Adore Him"

"NO MORE PHOTOS"!!!

You want to know what was going through my head when this photo was taken?
-"I hope no one can tell how tired I am from this photo."
-"Wow....that's a lot of gifts!"
-"Josiah is going crazy right now....how much extra grace do you give in this type of situation?"
-"Christmas with kids sure makes you evaluate your traditions and how you're purposing to focus on Christ....why do these gifts seem to overshadow that!!"
-"Gracie has no idea what's going on, except for that there's a lot more stuff on the floor to grab, and she keeps hearing that "No touch" phrase over and over!"
-"These are some special times with the family...it won't always be like this...sigh."

My Family!!!! I love you all and am so blessed to have you in my life!
