these days

It was to be the snowstorm of the year...lol. I was quite delighted it refrained itself and gave rain showers instead. My niece and I were going to celebrate her birthday by doing something fun...the place was closed apparently due to the threatening storm. Sigh...We opted for a relaxing time hanging out at McD's. The rest of the birthday fun shall wait till a next time!
so over fish bites, fries, and a burger we played a game, got asked to pray for someone's car in exchange for them praying for Lauren's broke foot...and had much giggling like little girls do.
We don't do so well with self portraits.
The glasses are hiding my weary eyes. I had gone far too long without sleep and hanging out with Lauren was yet another thing that took priority over sleep. When I got home I slept for 16 hours. Almost completely straight through...minus a little time in there for a phone call :)
Sleep deprivation is what makes me appreciate sleep....but I still vouch that the more I sleep the tireder I am. *yawn*
Ellie reading her Bible :)

These little boys are by our house to give their dear mother a break. I was trying to clean my dad's office all the while they were firing questions of "why". Why this and why that...and why is your phone making that noise and ever so scared of the growling bear in the closet. (thanks to their dear gpa that has them convinced for a long time) Oh the love of little people. 

*coffee...it's what keeps me going possibly? I think the lady in Dunkin' Donuts was a bit confused at this Mennonite girl sitting in there all by her lonesome in the wee morning hours. Oh well...it was peaceful!

When I Grow Up

Image
My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll...

February

Image
..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp...

of police and goodbyes

Image
It was the night before some people departed the states to the wonderful Isle of Spice. Who wouldn't stay out late? Well...I would..and I did. The regrets came in the morning with only 2 hours of sleep and off to work at an unearthly hour. I work when I can...even if it is only a few hours. I felt like I had to keep redoing things...my brain was malfunctioning. Coffee was needed but I didn't want to be the reason for potty breaks on the way to the airport...thus I refrained. I left work in my own little world oblivious to a police officer sitting nearby. I believe he was sleeping as well..much to my benefit. With suitcases packed on that Ford truck we began to "RUN IT"...traffic moves well most days. I try to keep with traffic. They can usually break radar for you. The SUV lost me when it got to about 25 over the speed limit. It was a good thing! There was enough of a gap between us that officer had his nose out in traffic as I tried to quickly change lanes. Sorry fo...
