Hmmmm....

I would like to say that I am a dedicated blogger, but as you can see, I am not. There are so many things I want to say, but can never seem to find the time to put them down into words. In the past few months so many things have happened to me and my family that I am going to try my very best to share them with you. Honestly, the reason I have not put much down here is because I have been trying not to be too personal in my blog, but that just is not working for me anymore. Starting now I am going to be sharing all of my heart with you. I have realized that I am very guarded with my thoughts and sometimes the Lord wants me to share them. Here is a brief summary of what has happened and what is to come, along with anything new that comes along. My daughter turned 8, my youngest son turned 3, Belize, Midwest home school conference, and more I am sure that I can't remember. So, if you are interested in hearing more about my heart keep checking back! It should be pretty interesting stuff :)

This weekend...

We had an exciting weekend. My husband heard about this park close to his office that has water fountains the kids can play in. So we picked up a friend to play with and headed there Saturday afternoon. The kids had a blast running in and out of the fountains. The water was cold so when the wind blew it did get a bit chilly, but they had so much fun playing in the water. After that we went McDonald's to eat and then to another park to keep wearing them out. We don't get to spend as much time with our friend as we would like so we play and have lots of fun with her when we get the chance. The kids went right out when they got in bed Saturday night and I am glad because we had to get up early for church on Sunday. We ended up having lots of family come to church with us and support us in dedicating Elijah. It was such a blessing to look out and see them all sitting there with big smiles on their faces. It actually made me get teary eyed. We had one of our pastors praying over Elijah during the prayer time of the dedication and his prayer was just right on. It was so neat to hear the Lord speak prophecies over him through this pastor. It was so exciting, and Elijah just sat there and watched him intently during the prayer. It was such a blessing. Here are a few pictures of our incredible weekend!
