Stuff

Just a couple things:

Josh has been looking at this camera for a couple of years and he finally purchased it!
So when he got his new toy the family was the recipient of this:That camera is quite a step up from what I have been using. Can't beat it when you have a generous son who "hands up" things.
What else is going on around here?
~~ I got in a card making mood the other night while we watched a movie:

~~The weather is really messed up right now. It was 56` this morning about 7am and it is now 37` (at 3 pm) and it is supposed to be in the teens with a wind chill in the single digits over night!
~~Three of the kids are watching God's and Generals presently for school. They are studying the Civil War right now. They don't ever complain when I have them watch movies for school! :)
~~I'm wondering about our friends that are moving from TN to FL soon and they are not updating their blog about what is new! ;)
~~We have something EVERY weekend for about 2 months straight. :( I guess that means we have gotten past the "we just moved somewhere new" point. I always enjoy the down time after we move somewhere new.
~~ The kids introduced me to a radio web site. It is www.pandora.com You can type in a band, person or song and it will play that "Type" of music. If they pull up something that you don't like you can click on the "thumbs down" button and they won't play that again. Kind of fun.
~~I can't wait to get my flowers planted, but I know that is a ways off yet. I'm just used to being able to plant this early in TX and FL. I just need to be patient.
~~S & Z will be competing in the Awana Bible quiz and Games this Saturday. It will be fun. They are on the team from RBBC ~ a church that we belonged to when we lived in KC. But it will be an all day thing!
~~ Becca started a new quilt today for "Art" time. But it was a bit frustrating since the machine wasn't working properly and I couldn't find my sewing machine book. The up side is that my whole wardrobe that holds all my sewing stuff is now nicely organized! And when Kevin called I mentioned that I was looking for it and he told me right where it was!
~~ I recently took on a new position. I will be the state coordinator for our state for Teen Pact! A huge job as I'm not stepping into someone's shoes, it will be a first for our state. Thankfully I have a whole year to get it together.

Enough from here, I need to go fight with the sewing machine. :)

Kathy, just hearing about all you do makes me very tired! It makes me seem lazy by comparison! The oak pollen is falling from the trees now and making a mess of things. Glad to have a garage to park the car in! Enjoy your kids while you can, it gets very lonely here without them. Teresa
