Slacker Blog Fail....

I can see that I haven't posted on here for a long time...and it's not that things haven't been exciting or entertaining or anything like that. It's simply because I've been so busy doing all sorts of different things and chasing after children that I've sort of neglected this blog. But, I make the promise that I will try to update more often and hopefully with pictures. I still haven't really figured out my whole camera connecting to my new computer thing yet, but I hope to. Then you can see all the pictures I've taken over the last few months! That'd be good right?


I'm going to keep this post rather short because I still need to finish cleaning the living room and then making sure my son hasn't disposed of his diaper in his bed and is standing there naked...yes he actually does that...but I will leave you with some thoughts that I've had over the last few days.


Thought 1: The Lord is a good guy; Yes I realize that many of you may think the way I say this is humorous, but it's the truth none the less. He's an amazing guy and a great and wonderful example for us to follow. And I feel so many blessings that he has showered upon my family recently and I am so humbled and feel so inadequate to receive such gifts from him.


Thought 2: Children were born to make messes. This I've learned from experience. My children have this drive within them to make a mess out of whatever clean room I've spent time working on. I've gotten the living room cleaned three times in one day only to turn around for one minute and have my living room looking like it did before I even bothered trying to clean it in the first place. However, it is amusing to watch my children play with all the toys I just put away and it makes my heart melt to see them so happy...so I suppose the mess it worth it? I like to think so most days.


Thought 3: Family is Forever! Yes another cliche' saying for you but it's so true and I'm grateful for that understanding. I'm glad that I have the knowledge that my family can be with me together forever. It makes me want to be a better person so that I have that right bestowed upon me. I want to be there forever for my children and my mother and father and siblings and aunts and uncles and husband...and well everyone that I've never met in my family! Even my in-laws and all their family. To have that ability is a great joy and comfort to me and I feel so honored and blessed to have it in my life.


Finally, I'll leave you with the suggestion to read the words to Hymn 6 "Redeemer of Israel" specifically verse 5. It really struck me yesterday and I thought I'd share it with you. I hope that you feel the same inspiration that I do from it.


Love Ya Tons faithful friends and readers!
