One of those days....

Today I have 1 boy with a nasty fever.
Today I have 1 boy with a very runny nose.
Today I have 1 boy that doesn't sleep at night and woke me up at 5am because he thought it was time to party ....
  So today I am doing laundry and telling myself that this too shall pass.  The sun is shining beautifully but no one feels well enough to be out moving mountains.  I guess that's okay too.  Maybe I can move this mountain of laundry today! :)
   Today I'm praying for Leland and Evie as it's their anniversary.  I wonder how many years? 
    Last night Matt stayed home with the boys and chased the rooster around and got the rooster and his hens settled in the barn.....Hopefully our rooster is not as scary as Daytons was. :)  So anyhow, I got to go to church all by myself....quiet all to myself.  That was nice.  And when I got home the boys had the house cleared up and the dishes done.  That was REALLY nice. 
   So this is Zerrick's first week of vacation.  We are so very glad to have school all over for the year.  We have big plans of  water fun and warm sun and keeping the garden nice and I'm hoping to get lots of muscle jobs done with his help. 
  Have a good week.  ~ Amy

I remember those days. They pass away. Other things take their places but I'll take these things. Treasure both those days and these, Amy.

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.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
