Outside My Window...We saw a group of about 5 sage grouse strolling across the yard. My 1dd10 yelled, "Mom come quick! There's a bunch of female turkeys in the yard!"
I am thinking... about the first two weeks of school and how they've gone. I've been very overwhelmed at times, but I feel we are accomplishing a lot. The kids are learning American history again this year and making science, history, and language arts notebooks. They are also doing Rosetta Stone Spanish, which I've wanted to get for a couple of years.
|I am thankful for...our lovely home, the internet when it works well, my husband and children, although my four year old has been severely trying lately!
From the kitchen...
Monday ~ Spaghetti and sauce, salad
Tuesday ~ Stir fry and rice
Wednesday ~ some kind of chicken in the crock pot
Thursday ~ Husband will cook
Friday ~ Something special for Sabbath...
Saturday ~ cold meals
Sunday ~ Grilled burgers, etc.
I am creating...I can't think of anything!
I am going...crazy with my 4 yr old mouthing back when I tell her no.
I am wearing...old blue jeans, an off-white t-shirt from Towanda, Kansas, an old, grey sweatshirt from Horton, Kansas, and my hair is pulled back in a ponytail.
I am reading...from Ezekial, Hebrews and the Psalms in my One Year Bible (only 6 weeks to go!), and a book called Johnny Tremain. Our read-aloud right now is Almost Home (about Mary Chilton from the early Puritan days).
I am hoping... that we get enough students for the fall Discipleship Training School. We need one more or they will cancel the school - we need a minimum of 5. Often we get late applicants, but I'd sure love to have at least 5 more.
I am hearing...quiet. Finally. The kids are outside playing except my baby boy who is sleeping. Oops... I spoke too soon. Now the elephant herd is coming in.
Around the house...the girls are now playing in their rooms - probably making paper dolls or playing with their Polly Pockets. My four year old is now at my side asking for a bath.
One of my favorite things... is learning along with my girls each day.
A few plans for the rest of the week... Homeschooling, keeping the house clean, playing and reading and such with my 4 yo, and writing thank you notes to our supporters.
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...
These pictures are from a walk we took on Saturday afternoon at Beaver Lake, which is a short jaunt down our road. The girls are checking out water critters on the shore. DS is pretending he is driving a "brroomm-brrroooommm!"

Thanks for your post on my blog. We are doing well. The girls are very excited about starting school next week. I think hannah will do well. She has always played well my herself when her sister were gone. So we shall see!
Glad to hear that school is going well for you. My girls are enjoying writing back and forth with Ciara & Jaedyn.
There has been a record number of bear attacts this year. That is way is a little spooky about and makes me wonder if we should exercise caution. There are mostly black bears seen in Juneau, but brown are there too. I'm going to take a little advice from the local when we get there. Most of the problems have been in Anchorage and surrounding area, but some in the Juneau too. Only seven days and time has been moving so slowly that I don't think it has hit me yet.
So do you have the new Rosetta stone program? I've been wondering about it.
One thing have I desired of the Lord that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To behold the beauty, the beauty of the Lord. To inquire in His temple, the temple of the Lord.
This is my everyday thoughts about being a mother to three little ladies (11, 9 and 4) and a two year old son. We serve God full-time, and I am a physician assistant. I have the most awesome husband in the world. I am trying to seek and serve God with all my heart, all my soul, all my mind and all my strength.
