| Some of the Happenings in Marand & Rachel's Household

Fun with Friends!

Hooray for snacks and black and white "Lassie" movies after good naps!

Hooray for family hair cuts on Tuesday by a real barber!!! These hack jobs of mine on Jacob have gotten out of hand :) Maybe I should take lessons from my sister!!

The hair cut looks o.k. combed to the side....just to redeem myself a little :)

Jacob and JJ had a good time this morning pulling each other in the wagon.

Thank you God for our Church family of friends!

This is the Day

Lord, you have made it. Another day of life more abundantly in you. I still. I know that you are God alone.

Thoughts/prayers/praises on my heart today:

-a 'sleep in' day for Jacob

-fun/good food for friends yesterday

-a duet that was God honoring

-Pastor Bruce's letter encouraging a pastoral search/his failing health

-a condo for sale

-adoption paper work

-Jeremiah coming to play for the morning

-a new pet sit for the next 6 weeks / a direct "yes" answer to prayer about paying to join a vegetable co-op!

-Laundry day

-Women's resource Center board meeting tonight

-The family who lost their son to a car accident, my sister's friends. A senior in high school, with plans of his own, and plans of his families....God's perfect timing, and ever vigilant eye never fails.

-who am I? to be able to converse with the KING? I'm his daughter. May my life and very breath sing his praises.

More "good ones" from the other day

Jacob likes to put his hat on all by himself. Mama lets him when it's not too cold outside :)

We've had a busy few days since....the thrift store was a riot, as usual. Today we made bread for lunch guests on Sunday while the tile guys laid beautiful cream colored travertine (left over) on the floor of our laundry room. Meanwhile the contents of my laundry room/pantry have been displaced to various places in the house :) have I ever mentioned the blessing/curses of living with a family of builders?

Anyway, I'm off to clean tonight, we are off to Denver tomorrow, then putting our house back together, and Sunday lunch guests as well as a duet with Jenn for Church.

Each day, new blessings, every moment thanks pours from this grateful heart.

The Best Day

I'm not sure if it's the amazingly warm sunshine, the incredible blue sky or the 4 fantastic kid-o's in my house....it's the BEST DAY!

Thank you God that Jesus died for me, and rose from the dead.

Because of Him I live this life 'more abundantly'!!

Wednesdays may just be our new favorite day.

Talking on the Phone

Hooray for a good weekend. The bathroom in the condo is only lacking the toilet tank and the faucet for the tub, it looks beautiful. Why is it that we fix things up nice just before we want to sell?

We are praising God today for some more much needed snow, artichokes on sale (we'll see if I can figure out how to cook them from this google site :) and for our Church and ever-vigilant pastors!
