Addict

Okay...I think I'm an addict! Of what you may be asking? I've been listening to podcasts on my ipod. Today I found another blog talk radio show I wanted on my ipod and when I went to sync my ipod with itunes all my podcast disappeared from my ipod. I tried to fix it on my own and after several attempts I had to call in the big guns to help (my hubby). After 2 left messages 40 minutes apart he returned my call. He walked me through the steps and as I'm writing my idpod is getting uploaded with all my old podcasts and some new ones.
I'm a happy camper now!

Sleep

We can't seem to get enough sleep lately. Sunday, the first day of the time change, we didn't seem to do to bad. Okay..we were late to church but that was because we needed to drop Steve off at work. Yes, we missed the exit and had to cross the river and come back but we got up okay.

Monday, we forgot to set the alarm. Amber comes into our room at 7:34. I open my eyes and immediately know that we have overslept.

But since then it seems to be a struggle daily to get out of bed. We haven't been to bed early but by no means real late either. I hope our inner clocks adjusts soon.

This is a picture of Mackenzie sleeping in the princes bed on a vacation in May of 2004. This bed was amazing. It reminded me of the "Princess and the Pea" kind of bed. It was so soft. I would love to stay at that hotel again just for the bedding.

Date Night

I called my mom yesterday and asked if she was available to come over and watch the girls so Steve and I could go out. So tonight she came over and we went on a date.

We had a very nice dinner at Uno's. I ordered the Lemon Salmon with roasted veggies. The meal was good.

We then worked on filling in the "If-Then" chart and "The Blessing" chart. I'm looking forward to using these wonderful tool to help us raise Godly children. Now all I need to do is be consistent in using them and pray that each one of the girls has a desire to live in obedience to God.

I pulled this picture of us from an anniversary weekend about 5 years ago. I don't seem to have any current photos of us together in my library. Maybe I can get Amber to send me a copy of the picture she took of us together at Olive Garden.

Family Movie Night

We showed "Horton Hears a Who" last night. We had about 30 there. This was a first for us. We have the license now so I believe more movie nights are in the future. My family had a great time and I believe everyone else did also. Here are a few pictures I took.
Mackenzie really likes pizza!!!! Okay, so these pictures with Mackenzie and Jacob and then Mackenie and Rachel were staged. Put the rest I just went around and took.

Daily Devotion

I just started this week doing devotions on line. I'm using the "Our Daily Bread" from rbg.org. Today's devotion is on "God's Love and Ours". It was a great devotional. If you haven't been in the word today check out this devotion. Do some of you do a devotion on line? If so and you like it let me know the address.

Mama said there'd be days like this!

Happy Birthday Steve!
I don't think this will be a day Steve will forget ever. It probably was his worse one yet.
He still is fighting the cold. His cough is terrible. I think he would have stayed in bed today but at 6am he gets a text message that the power is out at work and the generator did not start so all computer systems are down. Needless to say he spend a very exhausting day at work trying to get HDI up and running again.
The girls and I stopped about 3:30 bringing him B/L/D because he did not have anything to eat all day.
He was able to come home shortly after that only to have a leaking boiler at home. So tonight he spend the evening try to repair our 76 year old boiler. I believe he has had success.
The picture is from Christmas. He wanted a remote helicopter. It is still in the box. I should rewrap in and give it again. I hope he will find the time soon to play.

Honey is Sick!

My honey is not feeling well at all. He has a cough, fever and all the other stuff that is going along with this crud. I came on kind of fast. His birthday is tomorrow and being sick is no way to spend your special day.
Did you notice his winter hat? It may look funny but when your out on a cold day moving snow it keeps you warm!
