Tuesday – Night –

Health Update! Thanks for your prayers. Nolan seems fine, though he does have a hoarse sounding voice. Zander is fine as near as I can tell. Josiah sounds very froggy but insists he feels “pretty good”. I feel better…just a lingering head ache. Please add BreAnne to your prayer list. She and Krista are on “Feb Tour” with Master’s Commission. In addition to the typical prayers we’d ask for, I talked with Bre’s host mom and she said that Bre was coming down with a cold when she left. Yuck!

After speech today, Jamin, Jared, Arielle, Stacia and I went out to take care of birthday business. We have three birthdays this week and an anniversary next week. We bought lots of gifts….chuckled when the cashier said it looked like Christmas all over. I explained that it was for 3 boys’ birthdays and that we spend very little at Christmas – choosing to celebrate Jesus at Christmas and the children on their birthday.

We stopped by “The Reproduction Center” – I kid you not – THAT’S the name! I took in a chart called “Our Family's 24 Ways”, 3 big Narnia posters and 4 little Narnia posters to be laminated. They turned out great; thanks for the posters, Mom. I’ll use them to decorate for the party on Saturday and then do something else with them. Tomorrow I need to go buy “things” for the party.

Hmmm…what else did we do today…school. OH – Bible Study. Stacia and I stopped and went to dinner with Mike and another chaplain. We’re not seeing Mike this week and probably won’t next week either. BUT ORI will come and go….

That’s it for today. What a great set of young men I have around here. I came home after Bible study and the young ones were in their beds. The house was quiet, and clean, the mountain of laundry I left on the couch folded. What a delight to be their Mom. Stacia topped the night off by being QUIET at Bible Study. Arielle cracked me up when I went to put Stacia in bed. She is listening to the story tape the girls made her before they left home and reading a Little House book. Yippee!!!! ONE of my girls seems to be hooked! I figure visiting a few Laura Ingalls sites this summer would clinch it….No pictures to post today…I’ll have to be sure to take some photos tomorrow.

Now off to bed to read a few chapters of one book or another.
