I have the Boring Blogger Blues!

I'm afraid I have the boring blogger blues! I really feel like my blogs are so boring w/o pictures. I think Facebook suits me better these days...we'll see.

An update

Abby had a great time at Camp Lamoka! The other girls had fun at VBS while Abby was at camp! They were able to use this huge castle bounce house from a sister church and it was a huge hit!. The last day I was able to witness our pastor and his wife enjoy it as well...very funny! (of course they did this when almost everyone had left!) The weather has been a bit frustating,due to all the rain so we haven't used the pool much as of late. Jonathon has been trying to say a few more words like "whoa" and "no"!He will be two years old next week....where does the time go?! I am gearing up for the school year. We have gotten most of the supplies requested, and I have ordered Emily's school material as well.

We have had to deal with something that we have never dealt with before. Head Lice! All four kids had it and then I got it as well. UGH!! It has been a very trying week for me trying to keep up and stay on top of it all to keep it from lingering. John could hardly see them in their hair,(something bout declinging eyesight in your mid-forties!! HAHA!) so he really was no help going through the girls hair. I suspect that the girls had it for while before I caught it. Looking back I can see where God intervened in situations, and I am so thankful that He is a God who sees everything! We were supposed to go away last w/e, but it didn't work out. It was a little disapointing at first,butI am so glad now that we didn't go. We also tried to make plans to stay at a beautiful B&B to celebrate our 15th anniversary this week, but the dates they had available were not working out. If we had made reservations, a) we would have been disappointed that we had to cancel and b) we may not have gotten our $ back. Then this morning, I was trying to pull out some frozen hamburg patties and dropped them on my big toe! Ouch! Immediate pain, and I burst into tears! I do have a problem in this area as I have done this several times in the past.Hmmm, I wonder what the lesson is in all this. I'm waiting to know.....

Anticipation

I just thought I would write a quick post while I am waiting for Abby to come today after being gone for a week at Camp Lamoka. John drove down to pick her, one other camper, and 3 counselors (all from our church) up early this am. I stayed behind b/c there was not enough room for all of us in the truck. I cannot wait to hear about all the things that she did while at camp, and maybe she will have a new penpal as well! I am very proud of Abby b/c things did not go as planned. She and her best friend, Hannah, had planned to go to camp together. Well, this was not meant to be. When they arrived at camp early Monday am, Hannah was informed that she could not stay due to having some very unwelcomed visitors in her hair!! Yep, you guessed it! Lice! So, I won't go into it all, there was alittle bit of drama, but Abby did end up staying the week. God had it all worked out for her as there were several girls there that she knew and I'm sure that made her feel very comfortable. I know that God had a plan for Hannah as well. I talked to her mom yesterday, and she said she really handled it very well, considering the circumstances! I can only imagine that Abby came away from camp knowing more about herself and about God. Now, I am off to bake some zucchini bread and hopefully run out and pick up some cherries for Abby. She has been asking me for both of those things lately, so I thought it would be a nice homecoming for her if I had them all ready when she gets home!
