Elliott is practicing his songs for the Children's School of Worship this morning. In a few weeks he will be joining with a group of children to lead our church in worship at all three services. I am so proud of how hard he is working to learn the songs and hand motions. I was reminded this morning as he was singing that there was a time when the kids would get on stage and lead worship and I would wonder if I would ever have a child on that stage. I am so thankful for the two beautiful boys that God has given me. I love being their mommy. I am blessed to stay at home with them and to homeschool them (even though some days they wear me out). I am grateful to have a wonderful loving husband and to watch him be a great dad to our boys. We are surrounded by family and friends who love us. Our family is blessed beyond measure. Thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers and giving us children and letting us see a glimpse of Your love through our love for them.

Potato Soup and Cheese Biscuits - Yum!

I tried out two new recipes for dinner the other night. And they were delicious. And really easy. Here are the links:

Baked Potato Soup - Slow Cooker Style
Better Than Jim 'N' Nick's Cheese Biscuits

Perfect for the cooler weather. Enjoy!

October fun

October was a busy month, so I put up pictures on the Shutterfly site.

Summer pictures

We have had a busy summer doing art projects, going to the pool and spending a week at the beach. June and July pictures as well as more about our beach trip are up on the other website here:

Since I'm pretty far behind on uploading my pictures, they may just stay on the Shutterfly site for now. I am planning to start school on Monday and my big plans to deep clean the house have kind of fallen apart. Oh how I wish I could just merge these two online spaces to save some time!

A few more pictures...

The boys get some Valentine treats.
