Today is Field Trip Day. I think I'm as excited as the kids. No school work or stuff to teach......just good ole fun! Thanks to all of you who've commented and offered suggestions for lightening the load. We're doing better.
IN HIM
Well day two of school is accomplished and I have to admit I'm exhausted. I think most of it is emotional and I know things will fall into a routine but I'm not the happy, enjoying my children mother I want to be. School has gone well and I am enjoying that but afterwards I want to climb into a hole and recover until 8am the next morning.
I'm hoping God works all this out in me because I don't like what I hear coming out of my mouth....lots of moaning and not much uplifting. I know the kids probably want to toss me out for a new mom. YUCK.
Just keeping it real guys, just keeping it real.
On other less depressing notes.....
Here's a few great pictures of the kids playing around at our oldest son's football practice the other night.
Oldest son.....
(who is that with that water bottle???? UGH!)
The race at the other end of the field: "Whew mom, I beat my boys!"
On another note:
I'm trying to get my blog working correctly for those of you who are on my contact list. In the past you were able to get an email and click directly on a link that took you to my most recent post. Several of you have told me that it's not working lately. If you don't get a direct link with this post will you leave a comment or shoot me an email and let me know?
So that means you Dad, Sandy, Melinda, Mom, Andrea and Randy!
Ann's blog at Resolved to Worship never ceases to touch my heart. Her son Scott broke his hand and will be unable to play football this year. It just breaks my heart to know this sweet little boy's dreams of football this year have vanished. Ann has such a sweet way of pointing her family to Jesus. Check out her blog here and her post about Scott here. And please remember to pray that Scott's hand would heal, sounds like it was a pretty nasty break.
Our football season has begun here too. Both of the older boys are on different teams this year. I watched our oldest son practice last night. He moved up an age bracket this year and is playing with the 9-10 year olds. While my husband has stayed behind to coach our younger son's team our oldest is making his way with the older boys (sniff, sniff)
Warming up before practice.....
This series shows him doing those belly buster things....
They make me sick just watching.
And this little fellow has got to be the cutest thing....
He's the coach's grandson
Now for practicing the plays they are learning...
while baby girl makes a new friend and gets covered in SC red dust.
Remember to pray for Ann, her family and Scott....
While my sister and her family were here we all got hair cuts. Well, everyone except for my hubbie. I always feel bad because I hate to have her work while she's here but she's the BEST....
DId you hear me sis? THE BEST!!!
So here is baby girl before she got her hair cut like mom's.....
And here is her hair now...
Isn't it adorable???
Always in him.....even on PMS days like today....
This weekend my sister and her family came to visit on Friday and then my mother in law arrived on Saturday. My hubbie preached at church on Sunday so the troops were in for the big day.
Saturday we took a trip to the park. I took some pics of my sister's family. I ended up liking this one the best. It's so candid and unposed.
With a little watercolor touch......
And here's a funky one of my and my nieces. My sister took this one.
More later! My laptop's battery is dying!!!
Always in HIM...
God is unpredictable but consistent. You may not be able to tell what he is doing or why but you can always trust in WHO HE IS. He has your very best interests at heart. He is good. He is God.
"Whew mom, I beat my boys!"
