Simple Woman #11

For Today: April 27, 2010

Outside my Window: pictured above! haha This is what I see off of my back deck weekly. Isn't that hilarious?

I am thinking: that today was a big day for me and Andrew. He played in his first game of soccer. I'm not sure who was more excited and nervous, him or me.

I am thankful for: my boys that I love to pieces! They are all so unique and special in their own way. I'm really enjoying life at home and feel so blessed to be able to stay at home and watch them grow and learn and discover life. It is amazing!

From the kitchen: grilled cheese sandwichs for the boys and Ken and I had a steak dinner once the boys were in bed.

I am wearing: jeans, red tank and black hoodie and my slippers

I am going: to Bible study tomorrow for the last time of this season and then off to get a haircut.

I am reading: daily a mom's devotional and a couple's devotional, Babywise

I am hoping: that Isaac sleeps through the night again tonight. He's been sleeping 9pm to 6am a few times in the last week. Let's hope it continues.

I am hearing: American Idol on tv and Isaac snoring on the couch beside me

Around the house: bathrooms to clean, mealplan to make, grocery list to make, upstairs to dust and vaccum

One of my favorite things: hearing my kids tell me that they love me randomly out of the blue.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Bible Study, babysitting my two nieces Thursday, friends over Friday night and celebrating our good friend Paul's b'day Saturday with him and his wife Tracy, swimming and church.

More pics of our visitors

Sunshine Meisha came for a visit.

Our niece Meisha and my brother Kevin came for a visit over Spring break. This was the first time Kevin has been out to visit us since I left home in N.S. and it was Meisha's first time on an airplane. We had such a great time together kids and adults!
