Going on the road.....

We're loading up Big Greenie (our 1993 GMC Suburban) and getting ready to head East tomorrow. Just a quick trip to visit family and a precious country church in Eastern Kansas. We haven't been out there since before we went to Costa Rica in 2005. So, I'm really, really looking forward to going! It's a long, twelve-hour drive, so we'd appreciate your prayers for safe travels and kids that don't go totally crazy in their car seats! My mom is coming along, so that should be a big help with the girls.

By the way, I may be the last person on the planet to discover this, but Pandora Internet Radio is about the coolest thing ever! Just type in your favorite artist or song and it will play not only that artist's music but music that has a similar sound. It's a cool way to find some new artists and also lets you enjoy endless free hours of music tailored specifically to your tastes. Awesome!

    Ok, found another internet radio which I'm imagining is like Pandora. It's called Jango - just in case you need to know when you are out of the country.

    That STINKS! I wondered if it would work outside the US. Sorry to get your hopes up. If it makes you feel any better, I'll be in your shoes in another few months. Can you still at least download iTunes or did they stop allowing that outside the US too?

    Yes! Jango looks very similar to Pandora. Good to know...

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

  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...
