Slow down, Monday!

Today started off like almost every other Monday...with a to-do list a mile long. Monday is kind of my get organized day and I feel like there are so many things I'm trying to get my hands on and I just can't get to everything fast enough. This is a bullet post...for anyone who cares.

1. Ta-da! It took more than a day, but I finished the blanket. Don't look closely...the seams aren't straight. I'm not exactly Susie Homemaker. :) The funny thing is that after Aiden pounded on my machine with his hammer and used his wrench, it started working. HAHA!


2. This is probably my last post for the week. I'm trying to better use my time and tweak my routine and flow a little bit. I was reminded last week that Aiden is a quality time kid and he needs LOTS of it. The more I'm with him the better behaved he is and the happier I am. I am having a really hard time keeping up with things it seems like, so something has gotta give and I decided that is going to be frequent computer time. So, I'll see ya when I see ya. I'll post something for the grandparents at the end of the week, I promise. :)

3. I keep expecting God to intervene in our lives in a BIG way. I keep thinking that the mountains are going to tremble and move and suddenly Tom and I will find our lives exactly how we want them with all our prayer requests answered with one big bang. But, this week I'm seeing small glimmers of change and I think that God is slowly moving around the puzzle pieces to reveal something beautiful in his time. I'm learning to wait with hopeful and excited anticipation instead of fear and impatience.

4. I asked Aiden what he wanted for Christmas and he said, "Mama, I want a little kitchen because Elyse has one and I don't have one for myself. And I need a camera by myself so I can take pictures of buses and whales." We'll see what Santa brings. :)

5.And that's a wrap. Aiden is napping and so I better try to get to the bottom of Mt. Washmore while I can.

So sad that I'll have to wait until Friday, but totally understand. Love the blanket, it looks great, thank you. Also, super interested in what God is doing/changing, please share.
Maybe you can send Aiden my way sometime so he can bang on my sewing machine for a little while...the bobbin winder doesn't work.

I pray that your week goes smoothly and God continues to show is greatness in your life. Isn't it awesome to see how he works even in small ways?

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away. 

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
