Saturday

I love Saturdays!  Today, Jason had a tee ball game, so Mark took him to that while Anna and I drove up north for a Psalm Committee meeting.  I am on a committee that reviews songs and lyrics being submitted by church members for a project to write new hymn settings of all the Psalms.  I also submit music to this group, so a couple of my pieces were sung today, though not the one my sister and I wrote together.  I can’t wait to hear that one!

Well, enjoy your Saturday!

Photos

In response to a comment about wanting to see photos, I guess it couldn’t hurt.  I will see what I can find. 

Playing “Naptime”

Little chefs on little stools help me make cookies.

Summer fun at Grandmary’s

Wiggles shoes, M&M hat, hmm…

Jason’s soccer team was adorable!

Enjoy!

Mother’s Day Out

The kids went to Mother’s Day Out today.  What a blessing to be able to drop them off and have a few moments to breathe without, “Mommy?” 

Lately, Anna has been calling me “Mom.”  She’s only 2-1/2.  Why is she calling me “Mom”?  Isn’t that what they call you when they get in high school… usually with attitude? 

It’s funny, because I vaguely remember a time when I used to dread having to go to the grocery store.  Before kids, that is.  Now, grocery shopping is what I do with my kid-free time so that I don’t have to entertain them and push an incredibly heavy shopping cart.  How times change! 

When I picked up Anna today at preschool, I finally got a good report!  She has been saying “No” a bit too often and disrespecting the teacher.  She still needs to learn to eat her lunch and keep quiet when it’s time to be quiet, but we’re working on it.  Jason was having a rude awakening when we came back this afternoon to get him.  He hadn’t had much time to sleep and did NOT want to get up.  He was whiny until after tee ball.  Tonight he volunteered to say the prayer for dinner and included a “thanks for the wonderful tee ball game” in the prayer.  So sweet!

I am still working on uploading and printing photos.  I just finished July 2008. Yippee!! I can’t believe I’m this close to catching up. 

Tomorrow, the kids and I plan to go to “Mom to Mom” (probably why Anna has started calling me “Mom.”) at our church.  We usually do a video series on wisdom for motherhood, but tomorrow is a breakaway series on cooking for busy people.  We are supposed to bring a dish with the recipe to share, but I am thinking it might not happen for me.  With my back pain, I think I’ll just sit this one out.  I mean, I’ll go and listen, but just not eat the potluck.  Or maybe I can be creative and bring something easy. 

Think I’ll get to bed early tonight!

First Entry

Welcome to my blog!  I don’t know what has possessed me to start this web journal or whatever it will become, but you could say that there is a bit of “blog fever” going around this area.  I guess this will provide my friends and family the opportunity to be a fly on our wall, if they so desire. 

I am sitting here listening to music on my laptop and setting up this blog while I try to edit photos online.  It’s a long story that I might just get into sometime, but I am printing photos from January to April of 2008.  Just a few months ago I was stuck on April of 2006, so I have really been catching up, but I still feel pretty behind.  It has been fun to catch up, though… going through photos of when my babies were so much smaller. 

I have been going through some pretty bad back pain lately.  Had to go to the doctor last week because I was beginning to lose sleep and have trouble picking up my daughter.  I am now on some pretty decent pain management medication, but am going to need to get chiropractic help. 

Gotta go watch “Heroes” pretty soon, so I guess I’ll wrap this up.
