Today's Accomplishments

I got all the little things washed and smelling clean today. Now I just need to get the crib up and the swing and bouncer all cleaned up and ready. After that I will be ready for this baby. Except for packing our own bags....I'll do that some time soon. I have an appointment with the dr. next week on Thursday and I'll be 36 weeks. That means I can be okay with this baby arriving anytime after that. Until then we will keep holding our breath and pray he stays safe and "snug" (which he really is) inside his cacoon.


And I got the baby album started. I tried to choose colors that could be boy or girl and ended up with a more girl look. So IF this baby turns out to be a girl I'll just change the title stickers....



Zerrick wanted a snack of chocolate chip cookies today. So he made these. Yes he did! He's a pretty good huh? They are absolutely delicious! They're by far better than what gets sent to market each week...we all ate on them like we hadn't tasted a real cookie for a long time. He's going to turn into my official cookie maker one of these days.


And here's the accomplishment of the day! The boys and I went down to Kenny's little hometown hardware store and got what we needed to replace our mineralized out faucet and brought it home and put the new in ALL BY OURSELVES! We're pretty thrilled with ourselves! Matt will get the caulking done one of these days!
And now we have ALL that accomplished for when the baby comes! Precious Little Baby we are READY for you.... well, almost....

In My Worship Place

Last time I posted I mentioned being in a quiet spot.      It's curious to me how one can be in a quiet spot internally but super busy externally and then be in a quiet season externally but Internally be in a season of seeking and crying and lonely.      Zerrick and Susanna's reception in our yard is over and my many siblings showing up for us was a cherry on top.   It felt like a relaxed good reception and I spent most of it watching people and listening in on little groups of chatter.      And then the twelve hours with my siblings on Saturday.  God worked it out so I could have tiny little snitches of chat that I could be assured that I got the most of the gift of them even being here.        We all stood around and prayed and cried and sobbed together for a short time before Bruce's left.  Healing.  I still feel emotional about it.  And now it's qu...

A few things...

Okay, I have a whole pile of pictures I'm going to post one of these days. In the mean time....a few more questions to add to my last post.... 1. What do people mean when they say things like, " He/she spoke peace/ blessing/ love/truth or whatever into my heart? How does one get truth spoke into ones heart by another person? Okay, now I expect to hear someone defend themselves for saying this or else clarify to me why it sounds so off the wall......no reading this w/out some input! 2. What else? I was asking about what does it mean to have deeper relationship w/ God. So everyone said ya that's a good thing to desire. Here's my thought. You either have a relationship w/ God or you don't. So then who decides if it's a deeper relationship than....see how can you know? Can you compare? That won't work because God doesn't work like that....putting us on brackets of who is most spiritual. The only way you can use the term in having a deeper relationship w/ Go...

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.
