catching up

playing in the church nursery...

her rainbow colored cake.

new nails...

the sunset- love this view on the way to our house!

there's so much to say.  it's been a BUSY week.  but a good busy.  we took sadie to the beach with friends and their dog yesterday.  and my phone was full, so no pictures.  and i had my "real" camera in the car, but it was a walk to the beach, and with a baby on me, one holding my hand and a dog leash, and the bag of food, i left the camera.  so, i have those memories treasured in my mind.  it was such a wonderful morning.

we have been really settling in and getting involved.  it's been so wonderful.  it's a GREAT mix of old and new friends and that makes it so wonderfully nice.  (yes,  i have just used the word "wonderful" like three times....  oh and there, i said "like".  sweet...  don't judge the grammar!)

david's family is so close, and it makes it fun to see them quite often!  we went to maine last weekend for a last summer visit.  the kids spent the days in the (freezing cold) water and were exhausted at the end.  i (don't know if i mentioned, but i am coordinating our mom's group and i) had a lot of time to prepare for this year.  it was lovely.  even some true quiet time with God.  i missed that today, as my time with Him involved a crying baby and three kids jumping on me.  

i used to think that it had to be quiet, without kids, for XXXX amount of time to make it worthwhile. so i wouldn't try, because there was no getting that.  i am trying to make time, when i can, for that.  but getting up before my kids would involve an ungodly hour and a cranky, tired momma.  i am much more refreshed this way!

(and, reading my Bible makes it much less likely that i will yell at them for interrupting me!!!)
