Alas, it has been way to long *again* since I've blogged. Its probably because of a bunch of things. A full schedule in which it is hard to sit down and think long enough to say something coherent. The fact that our computer is much to slow when iphoto is open. We have backed up our computer and it took a long time-read 1 week-with all the videos and photos. Maybe next time I open up iphoto it won't slow down the computer speed to a turtle trying to get through the spring mud or walking through molasses in February.
Until I can get back into a routine of posting and downloading photos from our camera here are a few of our current favorites or topics of conversation.
Music. Something is on all the time at our house. I grew up listening to oldies, talk radio or classical. But these days with Spotify we can listen to anything we want at the click of a button. We love it all.
Sunshine. I am amazed at how a sunny days brightens my heart. Don't get me wrong the occasional day of rain and clouds is good and it gives me another perspective...but I love the sunshine and Carolina blue skies.
Cinnamon Bread. Earlier this year the kids and I decided every time we make bread we will also make a mini loaf of cinnamon bread to give to someone. And it has been so fun. It is a joy to share with someone something homemade, yummy, and from our home.
Homeschool. Its official, after wading through 17 choices for schooling for Katie for next year we have settled on Homeschooling for 1st grade. It is a blessing that we have so many choices, but it took a lot to narrow it down. But after lots and lots of prayer the Lord closed a lot of doors and opened Homeschooling. I know it will be refining. I know it will be good. I know it will be fun. I know it will be hard. But I am extremely thankful that God has lead us to this place and I know this is what we should be doing for the next year.
Friends. We have great friends. We really do. I am so thankful for the people that invest in our life, that love us where we are, that push us to do more and yet speak rest and grace to us. I wish, I really do, that we lived closer to family. But that just isn't the case. God has us out here and if it wasn't for our friends it would be pretty hard. So I am thankful for those that God has provided us to do life with. They love us. They would love you! if you were here too. They are neat, wonderful, loving people.
Bubble Water. I love it. I really still love it.
Papers. I am overwhelmed with papers these days...they come out of no where! Once I get behind it takes me forever to get caught back up on them. I wish it wasn't that way, but it is. I don't need a better filing system, I just need to be decisive and toss or file it. But today I threw a bunch of things away. Yay-love that feeling!
Online shopping. I am not much of a shopper. Why you ask? Because I am not that decisive and therefore I go back and forth so much frustrating myself that I am spending more time then necessary! But online shopping is great. For example, I can look at Lands End put a couple things in my cart and then buy them. We can try things on at home and then what doesn't work I can return to Sears.
