Daybook

In the great outdoors...Welcome back humidity. It's warm, humid, and sunny. It's a beautiful day!

Within our walls...We're finishing school his week. Except for Samuel, who will go to public school until the end of he month.

A heart of thanksgiving...There are times when I'm reminded of the love that Stephen has for me. The last couple of days has been one of those times. I'm thankful for him.
A heart of prayer...My friend Vickie's dad died last night after a long year of sickness. Her mom died two years ago. I'm praying for her.

Random observations...We've been so excited about the new season of 24. We had a couple of friends over to watch it last night. It's really silly how much we love it. I'm actually re-watching it now with Samuel. He was out of town last night and missed it.

Silly children...Anna loves sleeping in David and Daniel's room. I've told her she can't sleep there for a week, her back has been hurting her. Last night, she slept in David's bed and he slept on the floor.

Thoughts from the kitchen... Last night we had lasagna, it was yummy! Tonight is Mongolian beef with broccoli.

What I'm reading...The insanity of God. I'm really enjoying it.

Sounds of the moment...Besides 24 on the tv, I can hear the dryer, and the washing machine.

What I'm wearing...I worked today, so I have on jeans, and a peach pico top. I put white socks on when I came home.

A favorite thing from last week...Saturday night Stephen and I went to a birthday gala for Pine Bluff. It was nice to get dressed up and meet new people in a "fancy" setting. It had been a long while since that had happened.

On the calendar...Stephen's schedule changes a bit this week, Samuel's ball schedule is coming to an end, except for the state tournament next weekend, and Mother's Day is coming up, which means my job is getting busy.

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'
