Family and Father's Day Weekend

We had a GREAT time with my family visiting!! My mom has been able to stay for this week as well which is awesome. We had a lot of fun together. We played lots of the game Settlers Of Catan... I think I spelled that right, it was Mitch's and my first time playing and we really enjoyed it. It was just nice to have all the time to ourselves to just enjoy each other's company and conversation. Mom and I bawled when they all left. Last night Mom and I had a girl's night and went out to eat just us. THose chances for us are far and few between. So click the picture for more from the weekend!!

New Ball Glove

Since it seems like a long while since I blogged, now I realize it's been just a little over a week, it feels like a lot longer... so here is Christian sleeping with his new ball glove for a lefty. Mitch wanted to get the kids ball gloves for fun, just something cheap, I couldn't find anything cheap... and 15$ was the cheapest I could find for a right glove, this small... he does have plenty of room to grow. Christian seems to be ambidextrous -and yes, I did have to spell check that. My brother Dan is too, he throws with his right, bats both, and eats and writes left. Christian seemed to eat left... now eats right, "writes" right. But throws left, Mitch tried to have him throw right but he kept trying to use both hands then. So who knows... so for now a glove for a lefty... and as you can see, he wanted to sleep with it the first day.
Any other random updates.. the kids are finally not snotting around from their colds that started memorial day, that's right... it's been around that long and it's June... JUNE!!! Growing up it was just a given you didn't get sick in the summer now it's year round... gross.
House updates?? None right now. Things don't seem to be panning out right now so we'll see, the closer we get to school starting the closer we are to throwing in the towel for now.
Loser alert... I just read the book New Moon in 3 days... *sigh* it was a welcome escape from some of the hard realities of life. :) I also started the book Trusting God, but I really need to keep up Holiness by Grace... I can't seem to plow through those books as fast since the things in those books you kinda have to mull over and really think about.
Ok that's all... but one more thing I'm so excited about! My parents, brothers and their wives are ALL coming to stay with us next weekend!!!!! I never thought this would happen but it just kinda all worked out.

Murderer Murdered

I found an article about the late term abortionist George Tiller and his murder. It's from Al Mohler. I had to say something on my blog about it as I have been passionate about the right to life since a child. I have to admit there was a part of me that was... not too sad about it but I know what the Bible teaches, " vengence is mine, I will repay" says the Lord. The Bible also says, "God is not mocked, that which you sow you will also reap." So before any readers draw the conclusion that I would condone a murder please read this article, I agree with his take on this matter.
A Wicked Deed in Wichita -- A Test for the Pro-Life Movement

one more thing that irks me... President Obama said he was shocked and outraged at the murder. Ok, I get that. I just wish he was shocked and outraged at helpless babies getting their bodies ripped into pieces and pulled out of the mother, a leg here, an arm there. Maybe if they were getting waterboarded it would be a different story.
