0123: We're planning on having a yard sale in a few weeks. We spent some time this weekend getting ready. One blessing is that my parents are going to let us have it at their house (we don't have much room for parking because we live on a main road). An even bigger blessing is that my mom has a lot of junk...I mean treasures, that she is letting us clean out of her garage.
0124: We have 3 sick children today...so I'm thankful for cough and fever reducing medicines.
0125: Playing Twister with the kids. This game is one of the many treasures we found in my mom's garage this weekend.

0117: Putting on a short sleeve shirt today because it was that nice outside!
0118: Cleaning up around the house this morning with all three children happily helping me...no grumbling or complaints.
0119: Time at the library with just my girl while the boys were at their art class. We did a few puzzles, picked out some books and did a little craft.
0120: Watching a few minutes of college gymnastics on tv tonight with the kids while Y practiced her "spits" (aka splits) and "hanstan" (aka hand stand).
0121: My prayer this morning was for more patience with my children...and there were definitely times I felt Him providing exactly that today.

0113: A friend dropped by some mini-valentine's cupcakes yesterday because they were on sale and she just happens to HAVE to drive by my house on her way home! I love cupcakes...but I love this friend and her surprise visit even more!
0114: Visiting with a friend for awhile yesterday afternoon. Although I love conversations with my children, it's good to have adult conversation during the day sometimes :)
0115: Chatting with a long time, dear college friend today. We don't get to talk as often as I would like but when we do, we just pick up right where we left off. I'm so thankful for this friend who knows me so well and still loves me!
0116: Tonight I got to attend an informational meeting about something home school related that I am interested in doing next year. It was very informative!

0109: The screaming, yelling, and laughing I heard from my children today as they ran around like crazy in the spring like weather outside. My favorite part was watching Y chase her big brothers in the jeep...she was the one driving!
0110: Meeting someone at a store today who I have a lot in common with. She was wearing an orphan awareness shirt and I was too! We figured out we have some friends in common and we were at the same event the day before.
0111: Steaks cooked to perfection by my sweet hubby who I love to pieces.
0112: Watching my hubby brush his daughter's hair. It's still makes my heart mushy when I see him do girlie things with his daughter.

0106: Hearing Y recite the Lord's Prayer in Sunday School today...she only needed help with a few words!
0107: My sweet littlest nephew who just turned 1 has learned how to give a real hug. Y leaned over to hug him today at lunch and he put his little arm around her and leaned his little head on her and hugged her back. It was one of the sweetest things I have seen in a long time. It made me think again of the blessing of family...these tender moments would be missed if we did not live close to our extended family.
0108: Being encouraged today by the stories of 2 families who have adopted 7 children between them and have 13 total children. They spoke at a church in our area and our whole family went.
