New project at our house.

Seeing as how I have been inconsistent with my blogging. I am making an effort to adjust the s cales by going over board after the fact. So this is our latest project... I will try to post more soon. We began in August and it is now mid-November and we have a less than when we started.

Emotional overload

This one gets me every time. I choke up and cry....

GO IRISH

I know that none of my friends or family are Irish fans per se. However, if you feel the need to see how Coach Weis is doing with the most storied football program in history go to http://www.ndnation.com/index.php to get updates and find the inside information on the performance of the mighty Irish.

In memorium of Lloyd's latest loss to ND!

Longtime since any updates

So I am back in SoCal again for a week. We are all looking forward to me having some time at home for a little while. It being the end of the summer, budget time has rolled around which has kept me very busy at work. Abby and I enjoyed a little break for our anniversary last month and tooled around Scottsdale with the rich and famous. Jesse and Josh grow every time I go on one of these trips so I expect them both to be at least 2 inches taller when I get back home.

This was kind of a disjointed update. Things are going very well for our family and we than GOD daily for his blessings.

Can I Get an Amen?

Now that Abby doesn't have to work weekends anymore we get to do something as a family that we haven't done since Josh was a small baby, GO TO CHURCH! Can I get an Amen!?!?! For the past two glorious Sundays our family has attended service at East Valley Bible Church (www.evbc.org). It was recommended to us by a friend that Abby works with and so far we are really enjoying it. It seems to be a thriving place for all of us to grow spiritually. The boys love Sunday School (see Jesse's latest entry of "SuperJesse"), and John, Abby and Amy are really enjoying the Pastor's messages. The worship is outstanding. Anyway..........the long and the short of it is, we are happy and think we have found a Church home. AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mommy! I think I'm Superman!

Joshua brought his "cape" to me today (it's his baby blanket that I tie around his neck). He was out of breath, he told me, "Mom, hurry! Someone needs help and I'm so so late!" Then as he "flew" away he cried, "I think I'm Superman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Joshua's Quote of the Day

Joshua was sassing me today. I told him "You can't talk to me that way Josh." He asked, "Why?" So I said "It is disrespectful and I don't get to talk to my mom that way." He reply came with a smile, "Yes you do!" Look out Mom, apparently I'm allowed to sass you!

SuperJesse!

Yesterday, after Sunday School, I asked Jesse if he had fun. He said yes. Then I asked Jesse what he did in Sunday School. I always ask him what he "did" somewhere and I never get a response. This time however, Jesse didn't skip a beat. "I played with Angelo," he stated. I don't know who Angelo is but that was a wonderful moment!

Joshua's Quote of the Day

Josh asked me about Jesus and where He lives. I told him that if we ask Him, Jesus will live in our hearts. Joshua said, "Ew, gross." I spent a few fruitless minutes trying to explain the soul but I gave up. He'll get it eventually =}.
