Daybook!

FOR TODAY, Tuesday, October 11, 2011

Outside my window... last day of warm and sunny autumn weather-- my husband is hoping to finish planting winter wheat and baling hay

I am thinking... about the last year... Matt will be a year old FRIDAY!!

I am thankful for... the chance to be my baby's mama, my mom visiting, my brother flying home from Europe today/tomorrow, the sunny beautiful weather

From the kitchen... this week's list includes baked eggplant with ground turkey & peppers, homemade bread, funfetti cupcakes (for a cute birthday boy), nachos/tacos, shredded beef, cheesy potatoes, and whatever my chef-brother whips up when he gets here Wednesday!

I am wearing... sweats and flipflops

I am creating... my mom and I are tackling my huge to-do list, including painting, stripping paint, organizing and decorating

I am reading... "Words that hurt, words that heal" by Carol Mayhall. It's our Bible study book for this fall.

I am praying... 

     -Praying for our church building, which has a mold issue. Work began last week and is anticipated to take 6 weeks.

     -Praying for little Sophie, 2 years old, who has brain cancer

     -Praying for my brother who is traveling home from Europe today/tomorrow

I am hoping... to be comfortable with the progress we've made decorating/fixing up the house for Matt's party (some people that are coming haven't seen it in months!)

Around the house... cleaning/organizing/decorating, enjoying my mom's help!

One of my favorite things... friends who "get it"

 

Pondering these words... "Anything, anywhere, anytime, Lord."

 

A few plans for the rest of the week... the usual, including 3 days of work, visiting with family, celebrating Matt's first birthday

A picture thought I'm sharing... What a difference a year makes!
