One of my favorite websites for Moms

This is one of my favorite websites and I just had to share it. Its kinda hard for me to know who all takes a look at our blog. I'm sure its mostly moms. And if thats the case, then you'll love this site.

This week...

Just wanted to give a little update about what's been going on here lately. Yea, I know, no pics this time. But it takes much longer and I have kids and things to do around the house. As of now, I have loads of laundry calling my name and a box of tomatoes that need to be worked up. In some weird way, I enjoy these things. Of course, I'd be in a mess if I didn't. Because there is always laundry and food prep around here.
The girls have enjoyed playing in their pool this week. We managed to go over to Waynesville on Thursday w/ some good friends and play at the free water park there.
Today, when the laundry is finished, we will start packing our suitcases for Family Camp next week. The girls are so excited. They have been counting down the days for awhile now. We are so blessed to be a part of the Missouri District Church of the Nazarene. We have an amazing campground and great leadership: to God be the glory!
As for the girls, they are each growing and learning new things everyday:

Lexie is back to summer lessons w/ piano and doing well. She has an imagination that is out of this world. Her and Leah are scheduled to sing at church tomorrow!

Leah just had a birthday and is learning what it means to save birthday money and money earned so that she can buy what she wants. As of now she is saving money to buy a Buzz Lightyear. Yep.

Mary Ellen is all about baby dolls right now. She changes their diapers, nurses them, gives them bottles, puts them to sleep, sings to them, and takes them to the potty.

Molly is just a sweetie. She has just figured out how to roll up on her side. She hasn't managed to roll over yet... but its coming! Thankfully, she sleeps well at night and for this I am sooooo very thankful!

Greg and I are doing great! Well, Greg may say differently. He has poison ivy right now. He is so patient and has the endurance like no other. I'm actually thankful that I experienced the pain of poison ivy a few weeks ago. Now I can understand what he is going through. I pray that the Lord touches him and enables him to enjoy his week at Family Camp.

Well, that's it for now. I will post again when we return from Family Camp. We plan to roll out of Iberia Monday mid-day sometime. We'll return Saturday afternoon.
Take Care Folks! God loves you! Trust Him! He is faithful!

Happy Birthday Leah Grace



Today is Leah's 4th birthday. Its hard to believe its been 4 years since we had this precious little girl. She teaches us so much and we are so thankful for her. There are so many stories I could tell about her. Stories about how she has always been a caring giving little girl. She is always thinking of ways that she can help someone else. Now, she can be a typical 4 year old, I guess. But all in all, she is such a sweet girl.

We are having a party on Saturday. I will post pics of the party and Leah's 4 year old pictures that I hope to soon take!
