Finally

 I haven't blogged in so long. Not because I don't have anything to say, which is usually the case. But because I couldn't remember the password. Whenever I thought about it I would ask Abby for it and she was busy. When she wasn't busy, I didn't think about it. Isn't that the way it goes! 

This has been such a busy summer, and then some days, like yesterday, I didn't even leave the house.

... All the kids went to children's camp last week. Samuel went as a counselor, Daniel and David went as 6th graders( their last year as campers) and Anna went for the very first time. And she did great. We were both worried, but she didn't cry, call me, or get homesick. Fantastic!

... We enrolled Samuel in public school for geometry and to play baseball this year. I hope it goes well. The schools disorganization was surprising to me, and I hope does not continue through the school year.

... Today is my birthday. Abby was so sweet in her birthday post. It was a perfect day. It began with gifts, and donuts. I laid by the pool and played with the boys in the pool. Then I went to Little Rock with a teenage friend to shop and the guys met us for dinner. Fabulous! 

... Except that Stephen left for for Ft Smith after dinner and I am ending the day alone. Well, the boys are here. But you know what I mean.

... Anna has had sewing camp this week. She has made a pillow, purse, and an apron. She has loved it so much, and hasn't been bothered a bit by being away from us again. Since when did she become so independent?

... summer is almost over and I'm ready to get back to a routine. But first a trip to Branson!!

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
