Did Someone Say Summer BREAK?!

 

The norm as of late seems to be me thinking about a post on here and even sometimes sitting down to write and then getting one of what seems to be a lot of distractions around here. The funny thing is most of the distractions come from my own head! Rolling on the floor laughing

Things are busy around here. Last week consisted of two baseball games, a Teen MOPS steering meeting, a VBS volunteer meeting, a get together with a friend to talk about Teen MOPS for next year (besides steering) a two and a half year old drop in on Friday that has been taught way to early in life how to say "why" and 3 (almost 4) year old with a yucky tummy and two teenagers that needed to pack and leave for missions trips....lets see what am I forgetting....We celebrated Jordan's birthday on Saturday and I know there's one more thing.......oh and I almost forgot the CARS movie! Rick and I and the three boys went Friday night. There was no talking Kayla into that one!

Whewwww... tired yet? Me neither Flirt male

Sunday I traded Kayla in for a smaller version. Rick and I are taking care of our High School pastors youngest child for the week while they are with the students on the trip. Nora is just about 6 months old and is such a little doll. She's got more hair than 5 babies her age combined and is always smiling.

Also on Sunday we got Jordan all set and he's with the middle school group for the week. They are in town so I saw him last night. He's having fun and working hard.

And last but not least on Sunday we started our Vacation Bible School week. We have about 160 kids in the Pre-K area and I believe about 350 total with grade school children. It's a lot of fun and they do such a great job getting it all together. I have a conductor job this year. Basically checking kids in and out of my area.

You know with everything going on I have to say I'm petty content. Can't complain that's for sure. Hope your all having a great week and I'll be back on Thursday for Jordan's birthday. He's almost officially a teenager!

Proof I wasn't kidding about her hair!

Heaven

Image
The clouds tonight were fantastic. When I look at clouds I can’t help but imagine how soft and fluffy they are. I can almost picture myself bouncing off of them fearlessly. I said to Rick tonight that I imagine in heaven I will get to do that- I will have no fear like I do here on earth of hurting myself or my bladder giving out- (just keeping it real!) For me growing up not knowing Jesus- barely even knowing of Him, Heaven was really an unknown. I have a really vivid memory of when I was younger. I remember the house we lived in so I suppose I was around 9 and I knew my Grandma lived in heaven. She passed away when I was just 6 of cancer. Because I didn’t really understand death I didn’t get why she just couldn’t come back. Someone must of told me heaven was in the sky because when I yelled and I mean I. Yelled . up to heaven I begged Grandma to come back. I was home alone in my living room and  I distinctly remember telling her that if she really loved me she’d come back.

Uno!

I am so thankful for my two little guys... (which they are not so little anymore) They are both so fun, so smart and so DIFFERENT... right down to the way they look. I found this video of them and they had just turned 4 and 5. Eric was starting Kindergarten and Sam preschool. They were playing UNO with Rick and I don't think I had ever seen this video before. It is an absolute PERFECT picture of the two of them. Take note that Sam never stops moving and Eric is just as mellow as can be. That is still true of them. Also notice the YELLOW KNEE HIGHS they are both wearing (not sure if you can see Eric's)- yep those yellow Mickey Mouse knee highs were the favorite ALL summer that year- Sam more so then Eric, I have TONS of pictures of Sam with shorts on and those silly knee highs! I sure love them. (the boys well and the knee highs too)

Glasses

Just some background... When Sam was about 6 months old we had him seen by a Pediatric Ophthalmologist for a blocked tear duck on his right side. While examining him the Doctor found his vision was more far-sighted in his right eye than his left. Now all babies are far-sighted to some degree, this is often even on both sides and will resolve itself in the first year to year and a half of life. At one year Sam had surgery to probe his tear duct and again his eye exam showed improvement in his left eye but not his right. At 18 months he got his first pair of glasses. We were also supposed to patch his good eye to force his weaker eye to work harder. Well after many, many attempts this has not happened. So here we are now. As of his last appointment ( Thursday the 2ND ) his sight in his right eye has worsened even more. His new glasses came in on Wednesday and so the battle begins ( again )! First battle, trying to convince Sam he should wear his glasses. I let him pick out new frames,
