Everyday Joy: April 2011

Thursday, April 28, 2011

A good time garage sale-ing with Mom today!
Brielle's sense of humor developing...it makes me happy!
Another jewelry show!
That my boys can play so well together. Yes, they but each other, but it's so fun to see/hear them playing together.
I'm excited to have found new blogs with FABULOUS ideas for activities for the kids! I'm already thinking about the summer and what that might look like...dare I say I'd like to do more? Bible memory? A learning activity everyday? Is that taking on too much?

We've had a TON of rain in the last week with more predicted...but this afternoon is lovely! We just got back from walking around during our neighborhood garage sales!
The steak day yesterday worked!
I love reading books to my kids and I'm thankful they like to listen!
Brielle is really developing her sense of humor...especially by playing peek-a-boo! So fun and so cute!
Ty's unconditional love...when I hear, "I love you" and "You're my favorite/best mommy" 20+ times a day it loses a little meaning, but I'm so glad to hear it and hope he keeps telling me forever!
It's a struggle for me, but also a joy: trying to figure out my purpose in life. How am I supposed to glorify God each day? Am I on the right path? I'm thankful to know that He loves me, and I just want to know what to do to show him that.

I haven't been as diligent with keeping up with this blog and I feel badly about it, but I know it's helped change my thinking so that's a blessing!
Even though I've been gaining a bit of weight again I know it's directly related to the sugars I've been eating. I'm looking forward to another hcg round and getting my weight more under control again.
My children are such a blessing. Yes, I get frustrated with them but overall, they are really good kids!!!
Looking forward to date night planned for Saturday night!
So thankful for my family and the lack of drama we have.
Thankful for my dad's 60 years tomorrow! It was a huge blessing to see so many people come to his surprise party this weekend...he's had such an impact on so many lives...I pray I can do the same!
The Easter season was so, so good! The Good Friday service I was able to go to at St. Mark's was so poignant, Easter was such a celebration and a wonderful time with family.
It was great to see Kim and Jeralyn for a while and look forward to seeing them more in the future.
I'm thankful to know God loves me!
