I WAS TAGGED!!!…
…by Molly, my good friend. First time I’ve been tagged, too.
The rules: Open the 6th folder on your computer and post the 6th photo in that folder, then tag someone else.
Photo: Our friends, the Kientz’s, new collie puppies.
They were very cute. And there were many to hold, too. 
Now I tag Joey and Natalie (my authoress sister). 
Have FUN!
WELCOME HOME PARTY 2!!!
(This time it was my momma and Nadine!)
THEY’RE BACK!!!!
Natalie and Noelle arrived home at about 6:30 pm last night. Safe and sound. And I’m soooo HAPPY!!!! I felt like jumping for JOY-my sisters were home! Sometimes I don’t realize how much I really love someone until they are gone for a WEEK. I love my family!
Pictures to come later…
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DAD!!! :)
We will be spending Father’s Day with only half of our family this year. Mom, Natalie, and Noelle are all out of town; I know, how rude. I suppose Joey and I are the only faithful ones. Joe and I gave him his dad day dinner tonight with a scrumptious dessert because we’ll be busy tomorrow.
I LOVE YOU DAD!!!
God has definitely blessed me!
Being “lady of the house” has gone well so far. All of the meals have gone according to plan. Yay for that! (Joey has been a great help. He helps even when he doesn’t feel like it. ) Although, there are two things I haven’t adjusted to yet: Having all my sisters who live at home gone, and, being the only GIRL in the house.
“Lord, please bring my women back SOOOON!!!”
Don’t worry I’m fine. : []
I’M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
HELLOOOOO blog readers!..If I still have any faithful ones left.
It feels WONDERFUL to be writing a post again! I have missed it. Life has been crazy the past couple of weeks and I couldn’t find time to write and just couldn’t write-not even in my journal-I was very dry. (I don’t know how you mommies find time to write; you amaze me!)
On a very sad note, our family was in Chicago this past week for my Grandma’s funeral (mom’s mom).
It was a rough week with lots of ups-and-downs and tears, but God gave me more strength than I could have imagined. For that I am thankful. She was the only Grandma I knew and I loved her deeply, and will miss her terribly. Believe me, you would have loved her, too. Grandpa is still alive and is hilarious as ever; however, it’s hard sometimes because he has some type of dementia and doesn’t always remember grandma is gone.
Please pray for my family who are up there as they (mom/aunt Susie & some family) go through the processes necessary. The hardest part will be moving grandpa from his condo to the Meyer’s house (my aunt/uncle’s house). They’re doing this because grandpa can’t live by himself and it would be easier for him to move to their house. This is going to be a hard adjustment for gp/the Meyer family.
Please keep us in your prayers~
Let see…what else have I been doing to keep me so busy….Ah Yes!
Two weeks ago was AIC (Wow, Only two weeks?!), and then the next week found me occupied finishing stuff for Noelle’s Open House. Then, we left for Chicago. (Guess What? I finished TWO books while on our trip! *big huge grin* I know, isn’t it pathetic. The books were: Do Hard Things & The Diary of “Remember Patience Whipple” Mayflower 1620
I really enjoyed both of them.)
Now for Something light-hearted:
A “Fun” Day at the Track~
We did our usual 4 laps…with a little twist. Every one of us led a lap and the rest had to follow as directed/displayed. So, we ended up laughing so hard we couldn’t jump or skip; we ran out of energy to keep doing dorky runs; however, we survived a very hot day at the the track. Was it fun? I’m not sure. (Maybe we’ll have to try again when it’s not soo hot.)
…What out-of-shape-wimps!!!
We’re home now, but Natalie & Noelle are preparing for yet another trip bound for the Denver Homeschool Conference to sell books! This means I will be “the lady of the house” for 8 DAYS! (That will be weird.) Plus, I’ll be cooking. Um…how do you cook for three people? Oh well, I guess we’ll just have lots of leftovers for “leftover night”. Anyone have any yummy dinner suggestions?
That’s about it for now. I hope to have lots more coming!
My Phrase for the Day…
…Inspired by Psalm 60.
~God breaks me and tests me so He can form me~
Please Pray for Natalie
Well , we are done with AIC and poor Natalie has come down pharyngitis. Please pray that God will put his hand over her and heal her quickly. She is in a very miserable state right now. 
Memorial Day~
Dedicated to those who serve and have served for my freedom~
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Verse of the Day~
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
~Psalm 19:1-3~
Natalie, Noelle, Joey, and I slept in the open air a couple of nights ago and all I could think of were these verses. There aren’t words to describe the vast expanse of the sky; so…I just decided to post Scripture. I also recalled this verse from the last Truth Project lesson:
” ‘…I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless as the stars of the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.’ “
Even though this says the stars are uncountable, people have still “tried” to count them, and, have come up with ridiculously LOW numbers. For Example: 1,062, and then there was another person who said some other number in the 1,000’s as well. I thought to myself, “Any person with common sense could look up at the sky and see that there’s no way you can count ALL the STARS.” Plus, we’ve discovered stars and galaxies beyond what the eye can see, too! I suppose some people just aren’t as ‘bright’ as me. (hehehe!)
Quote of the Day
100 Days of Change-for the Family
This is a very compelling and well done movie. I bet you haven’t heard something like this from the media?
