Here we go…been out of town for 4th and lots going on…here’s a bit:
- lake time – we went to lake for many days and had a blast! Disturbing: Braeden is growing up too fast…even gave Brent a "w’as up?" at one point during the wkend.
- big summer – Braeden taught himself to ride 2 wheeler last week!! Yes, taught himself…he decided to do it and wouldnt have any help.
- went to WAW-MAAART (spoken in best Texas twang as Maya says it) and got new big boy bike…silver w/flames. Bigtime.
- Finished a few bks – Mommy Manual, Creative Correction, Calm My Anxious Heart, Devil Wears Prada
- Started a few – Total Money Makeover, Your Girl, Home Court Advantage
- Gave up on one I started – will return to it later – A Prayer for Owen Meany
- Looking for a good mindless fiction book right now…help!
- Got baking happy last week w/kids
- Found cute vintage apron for Miss Maya at Canton
- Stayed IN CONTROL at Canton…a few books for kids, old plate for Maya’s wall and aprons
- Started my PROJECT FOR THE YEAR (yea, pledged to do this in January) – photo albums. Got one done today for…gulp…1994-1997. Oh yea, its time.
- Cried a few times looking at old pix…time goes by too fast
- Have 20 mins to get dinner started and go pick up kid from karate
- LOVE Jadon Lavik’s cd
- and, Matt Costa’s, too
- House is clean…kid’s bathroom drawers cleaned out
- AJ spurred me on to clean closets next
- OF COURSE now that AJ returned baby clothes, I have a box of baby stuff cluttering up MY dining room…thanks AJ
- memorized my 1st scripture in like 10 years…here goes:
Praise be to the name of God forever and ever. Wisdom and power are His. He changes times and seasons, He sets up kings and deposes of them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things. He knows what lies in darkness. Light dwells with Him. I thank you and praise you the God of our fathers. You have given me wisdom and power. You made known to me what we asked. You made known to us the dream of the king. (or something like that) Daniel 2:20-23
Off to karate…

Hi my friend. I’m just catching up. You’re blog a few down was great…the ABC one. (Wait…do I hear music now that I’m visiting your blog? cool!) That blog reminded me of a psalm I read the other day and it said “Has God’s steadfast love ceased forever? …Has God forgotten to be gracious?” It’s in Psalm 77. You’ll get through Home Court Advantage before I do. I’ve got to get busy! Mindless fiction…how about 50 Acres and a Poodle? I think you’d love it. Need to see your face soon. Bye!

Hey I have a great recommendation for a good read. It’s called ‘How to be Lost’ by Amanda Eyre Ward. I read it in 2 nights. I tried several times the 2nd night to put it down so I could look forward to it the next morning and I could not ever put it down. I’ve loaned it out or I’d give it to you.
The author is a friend of my sister in Austin. This is her 2nd novel and she just got a book deal to write two more.
This particular novel can be found in your local Target. Awesome!

Don’t stop reading OWen Meany
