Outside My Window … HOT. Bright blue skies. HOT. Bright green grass. HOT. Fluffy white clouds. HOT. A warm summer breeze. Did I mention HOT?
***
I am thinking … I HATE conflict.
***
I am thankful for … God’s grace and strength to continue on doing this work He has set before me
***
From the learning rooms … Learning to be loving and kind via 1 Corinthians 13, reinforcing it with our words and actions and the book The Hundred Dresses
***
From the kitchen … using up the 11 pounds of strawberries I picked Saturday (with the baby on my back, I hasten to add)–1/2 gone already just from eating them!
***
I am wearing … a white knee length skirt, a bright pink top w/ a light pink nursing underlayer, and right now I’m barefoot, but I was wearing these shoes But rats, they weren’t on sale when I got them!
***
I am creating … fun scrapbook layouts–I recently did one using the pictures from the Butterfly Palace and one from Mother’s Day: don’t know what I’ll be in mood for next!
***
I am reading … re-reading Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands for me, assorted magazines…Country/ Simple and Delicious/Our Iowa, The Little House cookbook (and am continually astounded with Ma Ingalls!)
***
I am hoping … I get to see my beloved grandma as much as possible while she’s here in Iowa for her two week visit
***
I am hearing… Anne of Green Gables on CD
***
Around the house … got the strawberry out of assorted articles, drying on the line, floor mopped, dishes done…it’s a start anyway!
***
One of my favorite things … air conditioning (as long as it’s not too cold, because I have to take a blanket to the movies!)
***
A few plans for the rest of the week …Park date, listen to my husband’s band tonight, Grandma to my house for an overnight, hopefully a trip to the grocery, brunch here, story hour, Aviana’s first dance class for the summer

Here is a picture thought I am sharing~
I’m having trouble wrapping my mind around the fact that in a scant month, I’ll have a FIVE year old and ONE year old! Come to think of it, he looks an awful lot like that almost five year old.
I don’t think he looks very much like my almost THREE year old, but this picture makes me smile! Real big!
I would gladly go back to 1 and 5 In a few short months mine will be 16 and 10. What happened to my baby girls?
Wow! He is so big! So much like Micah it's uncanny! Glad you allowed comments on this!
I can not believe how big he is already!! and you children look sooooooo much alike!!
