Sharing

Sweetheart got off to work this morning, and as I type this (it is 8 pm) he should be on his way home. My morning was quiet. The kids all slept while I had some time with the Lord. Sassy, who is very playful in the early morning hours, found her milk ring and came to play.
Milk rings are her favorite toys....they are just the plastic ring off a gallon of milk.
I got my housework done and even made a few changes. I am forever changing that entryway. I found this old Hymnal...I love old Hymnals. It looks nice on the easel. I swapped pictures and put the Jesus print back in the entryway...I did straighten it out after I saw this picture, so it is nice and straight now ;)All the furniture got polished and the runners were all washed.I even made a batch of Sweetheart's favorite cookies.
Ok, enough housework. How about some pictures of the little kids?? Zachary has been very creative lately. He made this creation with math manipulatives this morning.

He put this Lego design in the Lego Gallery on their website.Something VERY wonderful happened to Zachary last Tuesday. He accepted Jesus as his Saviour.He wanted a new Bible...one like his sister has. We went online and picked it out, had it engraved, and it arrived today.Cool Bible, huh? It is a large print, red letter KJV with the best maps and a great reference layout that is so easy for the kids to use. Charlotte loves hers and now they can both read together....which they did today.Charlotte....she has been on a bit of a roller coaster lately. Adolescent girl. That is all I need to say! She did finish her blanket for her bed....She did such an incredible job and it looks beautiful in her room. She took the picture too. ;)
Also, I want to say Happy 51st Anniversary to my parents! They were married on the 29th of February, so no actual Anniversary "day" this year, but 51 years none the less! I love you guys!!!
Well, I need to go touch myself up just a bit. Sweetheart should be home in just a while. I missed him so much! I can't wait to see him!

Praise the Lord for Zach's commitment. Tell Charlotte I LOVE her blanket. It is gorgeous and I can appreciate all the time it involved and the amount of yarn. Good for her for sticking with such a large project.

couple of questions for you!

1) Are those runners crocheted? How do you wash them?

2) Where on earth ( or where On the internet) did you find such a neat background for your blog?

Awww, he is so proud of that Bible!

Feel free to link up! I don't think anyone would mind at all! It is for the encouragement of other mothers. You have four children, and adult children need their moms just as littles.
