Ryen has started eating real food and LOVES it



Bowden was sitting down to enjoy looking at a toy catalog




Girls had fun playing in the leaves


So I just cannot seem to get my thoughts together enough to write a blog. To update on things I have blogged about lately... anything.... When I am not at the computer I think of all things to blog about and then I sit down and it all flies out of my head or I just cannot get it organized in a way that I think anyone would want to read!
Such is the place of motherhood I am in.

So just some things -
We have had a contractor in our house working on our rotten sub floor for over a week now. I have no idea when he will be finished. it is weird living with this man in our house. He is very nice. A true blessing from the Lord. The little ones love him. I think we will miss HIM when he is gone. We will not miss the noise or the mess.

Homeschooling is going well. And by well, I mean I have not made Bowden or myself cry for a couple of weeks. I am so grateful to have the chance to do this and I know in my heart it is the right thing. I wonder if I will ever feel confident enough to do it... I fear Bowden will always be the victim of my first time attempts at anything. I trust that God put him in this place in our family and will use my failures to do something great!

Keith and I have been dealing with the mess I made of our finances... see previous posts on confession... He is an amazing man. And it seems I am learning more and more about the effects my reckless decisions have on those around me... read previous statement about contractor... we have had several unexpected things come up that just add to the financial burden... But I love how God is providing in the middle of it all....

Life is good. I LOVE my life. I am still working on not getting frustrated with my children but I can see improvement and I am not afraid to apologize to them when I am wrong. I can feel God moving in my heart and I love that He can see the finished product. It is my desire to be shaped and molded and I know He is faithful to finish the job!!!
