Cleaning, painting, napping, and Worship

We had a great weekend, but it was too short. On Saturday we started cleaning out our house in preparation for a garage sale. The first one we have ever done. All of our baby things are going to be sold, hopefully. I can't wait to get ride of everything once and for all. When I found out I was pregnant with Jessica I had to buy several new things since I had donated or passed stuff along to friends. Now that Jessica is a toddler, ok mom, so she's been a toddler since the day she was born, I know. :-) But now that she isn't interested in all the baby toys and she has been climbing in and out of her crib for I don't know how long we are getting rid of a lot of little baby things. And hopefully we can make some money out of it.

We also went to a T-ball game for Michael and My cousins Meagan and and Travis came to watch. Thanks so much, it was great having you there. Below are some pictures of Michael playing T-ball.

After the game I was able to take a nap with Jessica. It was great. I can’t remember the last time I took a nap.

Last week I worked on repainting Michael’s room. It’s about time we turned the nursery into a big boy room. It turned out to be a fantastic color blue. I’ll post pictures when we get the room back together and decorated.

Then Sunday we had a great time at church. Jessica was actually pretty quiet and it helped that the speaker didn’t go too long with his exhortation. And the subject was very relative to our lives, helping us to see that our treasure should not be money because as we have realized it is not eternal and can easily be gone.

Sunday afternoon Daniel practiced t-ball with Michael and Sarah and Sarah actually did a wonderful job she kept hitting the ball when he would pitch it to her. Now we are thinking that we should have put her in T-ball too. Oh well, next season.

He also practiced a bit with teaching Sarah to ride her bike without her training wheels. Let’s just say she needs more practice. Then he took Michael and Sarah on a bike ride around the block. Isn’t he a great father! I just love watching him with the kids. He adores them and they adore him. And so do I. He is so wonderful and when I look at him I’m always reminded of how gracious and present God is in my life, because Daniel is an answer to my prayers in every way. I love him.

While he was having fun out side I was mopping the kitchen floor and tearing the house apart in search of the DVD case to Ironman which was overdue because we couldn’t find the case. I finally found it stuck inside part of the hide-a-bed part of our couch. Don’t ask me how it got there. Anyway, that is all that is new with us. Oh wait one more thing, we bought a cow, half a cow to be more specific, an organic, pestiside, and hormone free cow. We get it at the beginning of November. Yummy. Please enjoy the pictures below of the summer and various other stuff.

Take care and may God Bless you.

Love,
