Weekend

Well, it is almost that time again! I can't believe another week has passed! It won't be long and school will start back up and things will be crazy all over again. My kids are bored, I can't believe we have a month of summer vacation left and they are already bored. It is really hot outside, which puts a damper on what they can do outside and I'm not even going to let them watch movies all the time! Tomorrow we will be canvassing until two, then we are going to be blessed with company! My good friend Kristen from Maryland/Delaware and her family is coming to see us. I can't wait! Although it will be a short trip, I'm really looking forward to seeing her and all her little munchkins. There is also a possibility the Staleys from Maryland will be coming next week. I do so hope they can come! When you have lived in different place, you have friends all over the place and it is hard to see them all. Thank goodness for computers and telephones. Brilliant inventions! Now if only there was something we could do about all miles in between! Well, I must run the washer is filling up and the dryer has stopped. Oh the joys of laundry!!! And just think we are going to be adding more laundry come November! Oh, but that is the fun kind! Pink, Pink lots of pink! See ya!

Camp

We got back from camp last night around 8:30. I was so glad we made it back before it got dark. I have never been so sleepy driving before. The kids had a great week at camp. It is so good for them to be around people with the same beliefs and standards. The theme this week was Olympics, their theme verse was Philippians 3:14. The kids were able to get involved with games of their choice. Jonathan won gold medals for 22 sharp shooting and checkers. I knew he would get the sharp shooting, he can shoot a squirrel. Nathan ended up with 9 gold medals and Amber with 1. Allison got one, but I can't remember what all of them were for. Leah is now nicknamed freckles. It seems the preacher for the little ones liked her. Thus, he called her freckles all week. She passed the swim test even though she didn't want to take it. She came in third for the back stroke in swimming. I'm not sure if Seth won any competitions, but he had alot of fun! Pray for all the decisions that were made at camp. Pray that the Lord would continue to work in the hearts of these kids.

Think Pink!

We are going for pink, pink, pink, maybe a little purple and lime green. Yes, the ultrasound tech said she is 100% sure it is a girl. I have one excited little 8 year old girl! Leah has always wanted a sister to share her room with. I have a feeling in a few years that will change, but for now she is happy. We got to see little fingers and feet, legs and arms, a spine as well as the babies profile. Oh, it is just too exciting. Now, only 21 more weeks to go!

Crazy

Today the craziest thing happened... I was out watering my flowers that are almost dead because of the heat. When, I looked down and the ground was moving. It was so wierd. Anyway, here I was watering my flowers and the mulch was moving all around. Then, all the sudden I see this huge earth worm come out of the ground, but the mulch is still moving. Had I hit a whole family of earthworms? Next thing I know, I see this little pink nose sticking out of the ground. I had unearthed a mole. Poor thing kept trying to run from the water and I kept water logging it. It finally ran under the hedge and dug back into the ground. Isn't that the most crazy thing you have ever heard. Can you tell I'm missing my kids?

Bored!

Hello Everyone, I'm sitting here alone for the second day this week wondering how I will abide the quietness in the house. All the kids and Bryan are up at Grace Baptist in Louisburg for camp. I am greatful for this time cuz I'm getting things done in the house that has been put off for far too long, but it is awfully quiet. This is Caleb's first year of camp and he is having a blast. Leah is still hurting with swimmers ear, so I'm not sure just how much fun she is having, but she still wants to go. Seth seems to be having a good time, and Jonathan doesn't say anything. They get home late at night and have to go staight to bed and then they leave by 7:30am. Jonathan won the craft award yesterday. He always has been the creative one. Pray for Leah, she needs to be over this by next week. We have a full week of camp in PA.

Bryan and I met with a lady last night that wants to join the church. She has a credible salvation testimony, and the church will vote on her Sunday morning. It is good to see someone else wanting to join the church! Oh, pray for our AC at the church! It went out on us Sunday. It was so hot in Sunday school, I was dripping by the time it was over.

I go for my ultra sound on Thursday. If this little one cooperates, we will know what he/she is. Then, we can really work on names! The baby has started moving around a lot, I just can't wait till the kids can feel it! So far it hasn't been as active as Caleb, which believe me is a good thing!!!

Well, I must go see what can be done in the house today! I'll make sure to post on Thursday if we find out what the baby is! Tata for now!
