~ I love our new small group study. We are actually studying different church doctrines, why we believe what we believe, how it is supported through scripture, and what is the life application. Scott and I host and it has been amazing to see how the Lord is working in my husband. He takes his role so seriously with his study and preparation. I am so proud of him and the love I feel in my heart for him just continues to swell.
~ I just went to the grocery and bought all kinds of yumminess (minus pumpkin) with hopes to truly make all kinds of yumminess this week and next!
~ I want to take the girls to see Ramona & Beezus. It is at the $ theater so we may need to take a special trip into Dublin this week for a matinee. Wouldn't that just be so grand?
~ I am truly loving having the girls at home for school this year. I am learning so much more about them, about myself, about our family, and about how the Lord is molding us and shaping us. Although there has been periods of adjustment, we are all doing well as we find our groove. I have been purposeful in reaching out to new friends and old friends so the girls stay connected "socially" since that always seems to be such a big deal. ;) Anna's little friend, who is actually her best friend, came over Friday night for a few hours to play. It was priceless to witness both girls in total "giddiness" play together. Anna announced on the way home after we dropped her friend off that "We just love each other Mommy!" It is awesome because I prayed every day last year (or close to it) that my girls would always know there was at least one person that would be excited they were there that day. A friend who they could always count on. The Lord is good! These friends have continued to be friends to my girls, even with our decision. Anna has another little playdate with another friend on Monday night. YEAH!! It is so easy for Kate to make friends and feel comfortable in a social setting. Anna is my more reserved and quiet child, although she is chockful of personality and pizazz! So thankful....
~ Although I love schooling at home, I have had times where I miss a little freedom. By the time they are tucked away for the night, I am usually exhausted and have not had the energy to do any "crafting" which...well, makes me sad. There is something about it that has such a calming effect on me. I tried to work on a little project this weekend but my needle broke on the sewing machine. Of course I didn't have an extra. Shucks! ;( I am really going to have to do something soon or ... I don't know what.
~ Scott has started back to working Saturdays. So sad...although it is a wonderful blessing too.
~ Even though I haven't been able to craft, I have been able to stay connected with some friends who help keep me sane! Thank you!! I love you and your phone calls/visits are so encouraging!!
~ I love Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle! It is a MUST read if you haven't ever read it!
~ I just finished book 4 of the series "Chronicles of the Kings" by Lynne Austin. WOW! Although fiction, they are spectacular and aid you in understanding stories from the Old Testament. Thank you Jacque for actually checking them out of the library for me! (hahaha) You are so wonderful dear friend!
Well, I am sure there is more going on in that ol' brain of mine but it is getting late. I did manage to get the girls dresses all pressed for tomorrow! I should have been more productive this evening but wasn't. Oh well!

Finally catching up on blogs.
It's def. hard to do crafting things during the day when the kids are then. Then at night when they go to sleep you just want to do NOTHING.
Glad you are having a good time in your small group. Have you learned anything interesting in your study so far? That sounds like a great study.
How about all the groceries you bought? Have you made anything tasty so far this week?
Hope you find time (and the desire) to do something crafty this week. :)
