Daybook Entry

In the great outdoors...This has been the best summer. I love sitting outside and I've been able to do a lot of it this summer. This morning we woke up to rain, thinder, and lightening, but then it cleared off to be a beautiful day.

Within our walls...Today I worked on our school schedule and my work schedule for the next few weeks. I think we're ready to get back into a routine.




A heart of thanksgiving.... There was an incident at cousins camp that was much more serious than we knew at the time, and we are all very thankful that no one was hurt. While playing in the lake the kids all felt a tingling feeling in their hands, and later in their feet and legs. We thought it was weird at first and then got worried, so we got them out. Turns out, there was an electrical current in the lake where we were. It could have been a tragic situation, thankful that no one was injured.

A heart of prayer...School is starting soon, teachers are already in their rooms preparing for another year. I'm praying for them and their students.

Random observations...44 is old! And I should know.



My silly children...On the way to cousins camp we listened to an 80's and 90's Christian cd. It took me back in time, but the kids abruptly returned me to the present time by assaulting the lyrics. It was like Weird Al had taken over Christian music. I hope they still get to go to heaven.

Thoughts from the kitchen...Chicken and dumplings tonight! Anna rolled out the dumplings, she loves to do anything that has to do with dough.

What I'm reading...I've read a couple of books lately. I don't know their titles, but they've held my attention.

Sounds of the moment...I'm sitting outside with a cold coke, my Kindle, IPad, and listening to the kids play in the pool. Perfect summer day.

What I'm wearing...Khaki shorts, black striped henly, flip flops (because I'm outside). My go to shoe this summer has been my zebra striped Sanuks. I wear them to work and they are so comfortable. They're my new favorite shoe.

A favorite thing from last week...



This was pure sweetness. At the pool I was laying in a chair, and Henry came up to me wet, with floaties on and laid on my dry body. It was the sweetest few moments. He didn't say anything, he just needed a little Juju time.

On the calendar..The calendar is getting full. I like a full calendar!

My favorite picture...
This girl has some mad jumping skills!! (That's Abby by the way)

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'
