Cool, cloudy Sunday

We have been blessed with a day of rest! We try to find moments of rest during the week (notice I say try) but have yet to really set aside a full day of rest and today the Lord blessed us with one! I guess He knew we needed it! I know that no matter what age you are or what stage of life you are in, there will always be times when life seems particularly crazy. That seems to be especially true for us right now and it feels like a breath of fresh air to have a Sunday where our time is not divvied out to different obligations. Don't get me wrong, we love the things that we are involved in, but even when you enjoy the things you are a part of, sometimes a break is needed! So today we are taking time to relax, enjoy the cool weather, work on some house projects that we don't normally have time to work on, and just be together as a family without our to-do list dictating our day. This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Try, try again

Well, I attempted to keep up with a blog a few years ago and it did not work out so well. But, I am going to try again! So, here we go. Between homeschooling Levi, keeping up with Lillian, and figuring out Isabelle's schedule as well as keeping up with the house-cooking and cleaning and such-we will see if I can keep up with this. I figure it's a good way to pass along fun stories and family info to all of our extended family and friends! Have some grace with me as I get started!
