Outside my window...
Last week's rain is causing our grass to grow faster than we can keep up with! Our lawn gal (Olivia) is hoping to get to it between the showers this week.
I am thinking...
That this long-time favorite book to read to my babies sure does sound different when read by
Oma with her thick Indonesian accent!
(Indonesian cats evidently make a sound very different from the "meow" of the western world kitty!)

I am thankful for...
The Holy Spirit.
Towards an education...
Most subjects are winding down for the year. However we're just finishing our third unit (of four) in history. June and July will see lots of current events and president studies. I'm OK with that. Reagan, Carter, Bush x 2, Clinton and Obama are just too interesting to rush.
From the kitchen...
Lots of roasted veggies from our local farmers market. (I find if I get enough variety in there, everyone can find something they like.)
I am wearing...
A cozy soft skirt and t-shirt on this rainy Sunday afternoon.
I am creating...
Order in my home. It's coming slooooooowly.
Someone who would know once told me to expect to wait at least 6 months until the fog of bedrest and
c-section lifted. Brayden is now 13 months and it is just lifting. Praise God it is lifting.

On my iPod...
This wonderful product created by the writers of our history curriculum. While on my weekend run, I can also get a head start on our history studies for the week.
.....still. I'd also like to dig into 
I am hoping...
For respite soon for August. Poor guy works so hard for so many people.
I am hearing...
Lots of ear clutter!
Folks often comment to me that they imagine our home is very quiet since we have girls. Those folks need to stop by one day when we've got flute practice AND karaoke going simultaneously!

Around the house...
Last week's laundry got folded.....yesterday. ;-)
We're doing a lot of straightening as we anticipate a visit from a very special friend.

One of my favorite things...
Friends who know me and love me anyway.
A few plans for the rest of the week...
Swim team season is here.
A dear friend and her daughter come to visit as they go college hunting. The fact that they're looking at colleges means her daughter is just a couple years away from the age when my friend and I met.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...
Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth.
O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

for some new ideas. Baked chicken is getting boring.
