Just wanted to share this link to how you can view our services that they record. On August 19th I ran the switcher and Dean the robo cams. today’s service I was on a camera on the floor and Dean was on the robo cams. I’m so excited to know that my mom is planning a trip out here in December. I cant wait to show her what we do at church and show her our new neighborhood. I wish my best friend would come visit too….Will I know you cant live w/out her but if you can send her our way for a few days…..I wish I could get folks to come visit us, I really do get homesick sometimes. but our church is so much like home and the more plugged in we get w/ the kids schools and our neighborhood it just seems so comfortable, but theres still so much I miss from Baltimore….so many of you I wish I could get on a plane to be here to experience things w/ us here. So many back there that I know are in need of a shoulder to cry on or just a listening ear…..you know who you are….call me!!
We went to a picnic w/ Dean’s parents church after serving at our church this morning. I was so wiped out though so we didnt stay long. We came home and we all napped, we were glad caleb was staying w/ Dean’s parents another night, theres no making that boy nap, but the little ones did so we all we able to rest after a busy morning. then we had dinner and enjoyed the nice weather by letting the boys play out back while Dean and I played on our laptops. The kids are in bed, as is Dean. I’m postponing cleaning up by posting, but I really should get myself back in bed too. We are supposed to be going to Hocking Hills tomorrow w/ Dean’s parents but Dean and I still arent feeling well. he’s had some sort of cold for at least a week and well my usual health issues, we’re not sure if either of us will survive the two hour drive there then hiking w/ the kids and another 2 hour drive back. We’re going to see how we feel in the morning, hopefully we’ll get a good nights rest, unlike the last few. So glad tomorrow everyones off of work! I of course dont get a day off, but after getting a break when serving at church last night and this morning I feel refreshed. it’s nice to find something I enjoy and seem to be halfway decent at doing and while at the same time serving others, and not having to deal w/ my kids for a few hours is nice too! I can see why some women work full time and dont stay home, it’s definitely satisfying, but after sitting and reading to my kids for the last half hour, if not more, I realize that I’m glad to have the chance to be with them and help them learn and grow each day.
it’s amazing how much Bo has changed these last few weeks. he’s becoming a preschooler more and more. He’s speaking in sentences, although half the time I’m still the only one who understands him. He’s loving reading books, as is Zeke. Zeke’s fascinated these days w/ climbing though, and every now and then is surprising us w/ a new word. Caleb’s still a bit of a challenge. he can be great some times, doing just what we ask when we ask and using manners, then other times he’s oscar the grouch. it really can get bad when he’s in his moods, he’s even hit Dean and I on occasion. We’ve yet to figure out how to beat him at this game he plays w/ us. When he’s in these moods there just no reaching him, he thinks we’re horrible mean people and will often tell us we dont love him, even after we repeatedly tell him we do love him we just dont like the way he acts sometimes. but aside from his mood swings, he’s doing well. He’s reading and developing a true talent and desire for music. I know it’s something we need to look into helping him nurture, he’s got a great voice for his age and can learn lyrics just after one or two times of hearing the song, he gets that from me. I’m so proud of him!
well I am sure dean’s wondering what happened to me, he took his laptop to bed w/ him, but I’m down here in the living room w/ mine. Like I said, I’m avoiding household chores …..time to get back to reality! (unfortunately)
