A Week in Pictures

On our way home tonight from cousin's birthday party in Pittsburgh, I started lamenting/ crying about how often I forget the cute things the kids do and the great memories we make.  So, here is my attempt to chronicle the memories of our sweet, chaotic, messy, beautiful life in Ohio.    

Here are some pictures from this side of heaven...


Thankful for a cancelled field trip and a rainy day....every bin of clothes organized and able to shut!  Whew!

Look how nice the basement guest area looks now minus the piles of clothes

Still waiting on the butterflies to emerge

Pizza, Sherbet, and Oreos=happy eaters

My attempt to read more of the Word

My garage sale find...a great fort building aid

Creative messiness

Ury is our quiet adventurer...never bored

Yet another fort

I finally made picture labels for all of Moriah's toy drawers

We enjoyed seeing Tarzan at Boardman High School....Broadway here we come?

Elijah is still quite the superstar around here

After all of the sunshine, warmth, and outdoor play this week, bath time came on more than just on Saturday 

Moriah loves visiting Daddy's office in the basement 

Moriah got stung by an irritated Honey Bee who left his stinger

Our baby slept six hours one night this week....he hasn't done it since :)

Praise God from whom all bessings flow...so grateful that tomorrow we begin again!  

His mercies are new every morning...

Isaiah 53-"He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, but he did not say anything." 2. Most of the time when I talk, I regret what I said 3. It's a way to be a servant 4. I can learn alot from other people 5. Listening is the best form of counseling...my response can be prayer! As the Lord began to challenge me with this, I began asking to help me with questions to ask people... In the hot tub that afternoon I met an amazing missionary woman who began asking me about my kiddos. Not only did she ask me about their ages, but she also asked what each of their personalities were like. I had to really think about that question. She was genuinely interested in me and it felt amazing! This is going to take alot of effort, but through the power of the Holy Spirit it can be done! I am trusting that this will change my relationships,  even with my...

The B-I-B-L-E Yes That's the Book For Me!

Yesterday, after much bickering and breaking up fights I said to the kids, "We really need to sit down and read our Bible together.  We need to hear from the Lord!"  The sounds that followed ripped me to the core..."Awww!" "Do we have to?" "I don't like reading the Bible!"  I wanted to scream in anger about how they never seem to make those sounds when we sit down to watch a movie, but I didn't, I just started reading.  Zeke was the only one scrambling to get to my lap and hear the story. Afterwards, I let the kids go play and I just sat in the Popasan chair feeling dejected, like a terrible mother. "Lord, you promised to pour out your Spirit on my children!  What is happening?  I am failing you...failing them!  You have to do something" I brought them all back into the sun room for a light lecture.  Haha...yeah, if that's possible!
