FOR TODAY~ March 2, 2010

Outside my window...Sunshine breaking through the grey clouds and a slight breeze in the trees.

I am thinking...About God's will for us.

I am thankful for...A roof over our head and a good realtor.

From the learning rooms...A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Mama is planning for next year too.

From the kitchen...Nothing today. Tempted to bake some more scones though..just might happen ;-)

I am wearing...A brown tee, black pants and a black sweater. Not to mention the socks on my feet to keep warm.

I am creating...thinking about things to make for Rowan. I have a dress to "re-do" for Brenna as well.

I am going...Maybe to Trader Joe's after my honey gets home..not sure yet though.

I am reading...The Sacred and Profane History of the World and The Eaters of the Dead by Michael Crichton

I am hoping...We can go and see some houses this weekend. Let's get this show on the road!

I am hearing...Peter Pan and an agitated baby.

Around the house...Just a typical day..dishes, lunches and school.

One of my favorite things...A hot drink on a cold day, and perhaps a good book to curl up with.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Do some laundry, school and groceries perhaps.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

(My eldest and my youngest...almost 10 years apart!)

It's March...

I've amazingly missed a whole month. I just didn't have much to say.

In the last month and a half or so....my eldest daughter turned 10, my little man turned 3 and life just bustles on. Where has the time gone?

We also have found that the home we put an offer on and have been patiently waiting on(this was a horrible shortsale), is not the home the Lord wants us in. The second bank on the seller's side wanted a large amount of money more...and well, we can't do that! So, back to the drawing board we go. When you pray..God answers...even if not the way you had hoped.

This is also my 300th post! And I was going to do a give away...but I can't after all. So I just want to say thanks to those that have read my intermittent posts. I appreciate all of you and have been very blessed by the friendships I've made :-)

As always, I hope to post more often, but can't promise;-) Life just flows along and sometimes I just don't know how to put it in words. But, I do so love writing here and will continue even if sporadically.

And just because you all are so patient with me and maybe you want to see the latest pic of my sweet girlie...the pic above is of Miss Rowan at 10 months. She is still such a joy and lives up to her middle name's meaning(Meara)..."mirthful". She is one of the most jolly little ladies I know :-)

I pray you all have a fabulous week!

Blessings,

Sommer

A Little Give Away

My dear friend Gina is having a little give away! Wont you stop over and join in the fun?

Blessings,

Sommer

P.S. I am fast coming up on 300 posts(my next one I think) and to celebrate I will be doing my first give away. As soon as we are all over this little illness...I will be back to have some fun with all my friends :-)

A Lovely Give-Away

I just found THIS lovely give-away over at Mrs. G's blog. This dress is so lovely and I think any little lady would enjoy it. Why don't you pop on over and check it out...perhaps for a little girl in your life.

Blessings,

Sommer

P.S. I am coming up on 300 posts and I am feeling the need for my own little give-away, so keep a watch out...I'll be posting soon about that :-)

Welcoming the New Year...

"The new year on which we are about to enter is unopened, and we know not what shall befall us; but if we follow Christ we need have no fear. So let us leave the old year with gratitude to God for its mercies, with penitence for its failures and sins, and let us enter the new with earnest resolve in Christ's name to make it the best and most beautiful year we have ever lived."

~Pastor J.R. Miller

This quote really sums up how I feel about the last year and approaching the new year. I want to live like this this year..I want to live to glorify God in all that I do and make it the "best and most beautiful year". May He give me the strength and perseverance to live as unto Him. May I live in such a way that none will doubt the One I follow!

Happy New Year my dear friends!

Blessings,

Sommer

P.S. I hope to later this week(assuming my naughty computer cooperates) share some pics from our Christmas crafting and fun. See you soon!
