A Blonde Moment

If any of you know Leah, you know she often times has moments where she just doesn't think. Tonight at supper time we were talking about different musical instruments. Bryan told Leah she should learn to play the french horn. She looked confused then said "BEEP!" She thought he was talking about a car horn. Poor child, her roots will forever tell on her!

Baby News

Hi, there isn't a whole lot going on with the baby other than she seems to have great endurance when it comes to exercise. She exercises hours everyday! I just know when she is born she will be in great shape! Her poor mother will not, I guess that will come afterwards! Anyway, we have finally picked a name for our little bundle. We have been going back and forth with names since I found out I was pregnant. One day this week her daddy came running upstairs all excited and said I have a name! He had been reading his Bible, like all good preachers should, and came across the name Tabitha. He said, "it was like the Lord told me, Tabitha should be her name!" So, we are naming her Tabitha after a lady who was known for her work for the Lord, and Joy for all the joy she will bring us in the years to come! Tabitha Joy Greene, it has a nice ring to it!

Caleb's thinking!

Today, I was working on some Bible School stuff, when Caleb, the youngest, came through the house. He was thinking about something, I could just tell! Usually, he runs not walks through the house! Anyway, he comes in and says "Mom, how did God make Jesus?" So, I explained that it was a miracle just as when God created the world. We talked a few more minutes on how God created different things. He then asked why God created people, I told him so we would glorify Him. Then he asked why God created dogs. By then, I was running low on answers! I told him, God created dogs to please us, for us to enjoy. We talked a few more minutes and off he went. A little later, Leah who had heard the conversation, came in and said "Mom, do you know what Caleb just did?" Of course with it being Caleb it was hard to tell. Well, everyone one knows that Hot Shot suns in the dining room every afternoon, this is his quiet time and nobody messes with him. She said, "he was in here telling Hot Shot he was made to please him!" Meanwhile, Hot Shot was growling at him. I'm not quite sure just how Hot Shot was supposed to please him today, but I can tell you that Hot Shot was NOT pleased with Caleb!! Crazy Kid, one day he is going to get bit!

Greene Beans

We have a missionary friend who has labeled our kids the "Greene Beans." It has just kinda stuck in my mind. Anyway, I took some pictures of the kids yesterday. It has been a while, and they are certainly growing. It is sooo hard to get everyone smiling at the same time!

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.
