Life in Nebraska ....

Bug Man found a butterfly or moth.... She's just always beaming and bouncing for me.  Yes, we three are just the coolest. This is what he does ALL THE TIME.... The love between these two is mutual....Snickers gets as many beams and love as I get from Jeanie. Mathias had a fever this morning.  So when all our entertainment left for church we made our own entertainment.   He really  wasn't feeling that good.   Tools of the trade. First Sunday Dinner with just us at our new table. Six year old with mulberry war paint....taking something apart again... If you look ahead to the next ten years or look behind at the last ten how would you do life different?  I'm remembering again that this is IT.  This is my time.  I'm intent on enjoying and noticing and making sure it's valued NOW.  Because this is my time....the moment God is giving me now.  I sure love my family! ...

       I love the song :  In the dark of the midnight,  I have oft hid my face.   While the storm howls above me, and there's no hiding place.   Mid the crash of the Thunder precious Lord hear my cry.   Keep me safe till the storm passes by.   Till the storm passes over.   Till the Thunder sounds no more.  Till the clouds roll forever from the sky!  Hold me fast. Let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand.   Keep me safe till the storm passes by."      When one is strong and steady and at peace and calm  in Jesus, he could then stay strong in the storm.  God make me strong, and steady and JOYFUL and calm!

We had a cook out and afterwards hung out on the deck till a bit later than I thought it was...... We were honored with more overnight guests this week!  We had so much fun with them and not just fun but Good good fun!  The kids got along so well (at least my kids said so) and they were kind to us about our laid back style of entertainment.  I hope they use us for a motel again sometime!  And by the way these pictures are a complete scramble of all kinds of stuff in our life right now. Keagan Michael being Keagan at the orangutan cage... Too much glare but you can see some of the kids at least.  They stopped in on Monday afternoon for over night and the next morning we were irresponsible and decided to do the zoo with them. They were sure they needed to go home and we were sure we needed to work.....but somehow we didn't and we did zoo instead.  So glad we did!  This is not related to the zoo or Danny's visit.....  Zerrick ...
