A Great Week...

Mom and I are enjoying a great week. Sean blogged about our trip to Tiwaeno. I was so blessed to get to do that! I can't believe we've been here for over a year and I just barely got to see what my husband does every day. I hadn't been in a small plane for over two years either - since I grew up going in small planes with my Daddy, going for an airplane ride has a very homey feel to it...I forgot how much fun it is! I can't quite find the words to describe how I felt or how grateful I was to have the experience - and to share it with my mom and children too! Overwhelmingly wonderful. That's all there is to it.

On a much less profound level - I'm just thrilled that Mom and I were able to finish making curtains for our living room, guest room, dining room and kitchen. Mom did most of the sewing and it all looks so good. I did a few of the smaller curtains and had fun with it - maybe I'm not so terrible after all. Mom and I did fight my sewing machine a little bit - it does some weird things every once in a while and we never really were able to figure out what caused the problems. Sometimes it just gets frisky and mischievous, I guess. I was a little glad to discover that the problems I've had with that machine haven't all been because of me....although there is a very great possibility that I created the problems to begin with....

At any rate, the week is going by far too quickly but I'm treasuring the time spent just being with my momma. I have fabulous memories of a trip to the jungle with my sweet mother (did she not look precious in those pictures on Sean's blog?) and I have curtains hanging all over my house that will always remind me of our special week. Little things like that are BIG to me.

Maddie's Big Day!

Image
I'm just gushing over here.  My second-born took a big step today and made a decision for Christ!  We were having a talk in the car on the way to the store about heaven and next thing I know she's over there quietly folding her hands and whispering a prayer to Jesus. When she was done, she looked over at me with a big smile and said, "I have so many blessings from God, Mommy!" Indeed. Happy Born Again Day, Madison Elizabeth!  We love you so much.

If you can't beat 'em....

Brooklyn can't seem to resist writing on the walls. I finally decided to put an end to the battle.... Now she has her own special place in her bedroom to be as creative as she wants (within reason). This can be painted over and it gives her some boundaries while still allowing her to be "creative." I'm not sure she'll have any interest in writing on the wall now that it isn't against the rules but I sure had fun painting on the wall. I'm tempted to paint myself a square to doodle and scribble on.

About Last Weekend

Image
  Let me just say, everybody is fine.  But that picture up there, in Brooklyn's sweet note to her Daddy, pretty much sums up our weekend.  Blood.  Lots of it.  Flowing out of Sean's foot.    On Sunday afternoon Sean was using a weed-eater to try and tame our wild, jungle grass in the yard.  This weed-eater, rather than having a nice, docile nylon string was basically a little metal machete propeller.  Which, incidently, is not so safe when you accidently get your foot in its way.   Ugh.  Let me just say that seeing my husband's foot bleeding profusely was mighty disconcerting.  I worked in a dialysis unit, mind you, and regularly dealt with people's blood.  But when it is somebody you love, it just can't be helped to feel a little woozy and worried at the sight.    Praise God, it wasn't a toe and Praise God it wasn't any worse.  We were able to drop the girls off with our teammates and get him to t...
