Annual dates with our valentines.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most of us weren't feeling good but we pushed through, in the name of love. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Daddy and Ellie dined at Cheesecake Factory. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The boys and I pulled up to our traditional place, Cosi. Cosi was no more. Boo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we headed down the street for some mexican eats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids really look forward to this date night each year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope they look back on these dates and remember how much fun it is to show each other love, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not just on Valentine's Day, but every day.</div>

This was such a special day! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Watching two of your kids proclaim their love for Jesus publicly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seriously what it's all about! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll never forget the night last fall when they asked Jesus into their hearts.</div>

They keep asking when they can get baptized again, they loved it so much. :)</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Mainly for Embry and Ellie but Hayes enjoyed it too. </span><span style="font-size: large;">We've been going over these </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Fun math activity. Hayes got a kick out of this yesterday. </span></div>

Exhausted and encouraged. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That about sums up our first day of homeschool for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've got a few bumps to smooth out but today was a good day for our little family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love our first day pictures and how they differ a bit from years past. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No new outfits picked out by Mom, no back packs, no shoes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But excitement and smiles remain for what lies ahead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We kicked our day off with a scavenger hunt... just because we could. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few other highlights were finally being able to break open the new math toys, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
snuggling up in the living room listening to <em>Charlotte's Web</em> and attending Hayes' lego class. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's to a great year of Kindergarten and 3rd grade!</div>

So my good friend, Courtney, gave me quite the challenging gift for my birthday this year. :) A picture-a-day photo album. I was sick at the first of the year and completely forgot about starting with my daily pictures, so I decided I would begin on my birthday and capture each day of my 35th year.</div>

I have really enjoyed it. However, I have been using instagram and not my camera. More practical and easier that way, but I think my camera misses me. And of course the pictures aren't the best quality. But in this case, it's quantity over quality baby. :)</div>

She longs for high heels. She keeps busy "coordinating" her outfits. She wants to fix her own hair. <br />
She enjoys mothering her brothers. She gets frustrated with me when I won't let her wear make up. <br />
She's 5! Where does this come from? She's growing up too fast and I don't need her to speed it up any faster!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">According to her homework today, I think that her need to mother her brothers has expanded into some wishful thinking. <br />
Maybe she needs a new doll for Christmas. :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NBZVcVR5qZA/TtmA2Cn_8zI/AAAAAAAACwc/MMZGFxIJDRI/s1600/sister.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" dda="true" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NBZVcVR5qZA/TtmA2Cn_8zI/AAAAAAAACwc/MMZGFxIJDRI/s640/sister.jpg" width="464" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img ;="" src="http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll261/mrs0930/signature_trisha.png" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;" /></div>Trishahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06923869782464087848noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52845595876917543.post-5290381727896609952011-11-29T12:12:00.008-06:002011-11-30T23:18:32.656-06:00time well spent<em></em><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>The time, always the time, I'm an amateur trying to beat time. The six kids rouse. We race. The barn... and hurry. The breakfast... and hurry. The books, the binders... and hurry! In a world addicted to speed, I blur the moments into one unholy smear. I have done it. I do it still. Hands of the clock whip hard. So I push hard and I bark hard and I fall hard and when their wide eyes brim sadness and their chins tremble weak, I am weary and I am the thin clear skin, reflecting their fatigue, about to burst, my eyes glistening their same sheer pain.</em></div><em></em><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><em>The hurry makes us hurt.</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em></em><em>I don't really want more time; I just want enough time.</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em></em><em>I just want time to do my one life well.</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em></em><em>-Ann Voskamp</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>Being in a hurry. Getting to the next thing without fully entering the thing in front of me. I cannot think of a single advantage I've ever gained from being in a hurry. But a thousand broken and missed things, tens of thousands, lie in the wake of all the rushing... Through all that haste I thought I was making up time. It turns out I was throwing it away. </em><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">These are words from a book I am reading right now. Oh, it is speaking to me. <em>One Thousand Gifts</em> by Ann Voskamp. It's just what I need right now as Kyle and I are taking steps to simplify and get to the place where God wants our family to be. Being thankful for what we have today. Right now. Maybe doing things a little different than the next family, maybe doing some things the same. Changing things up according to what is on our hearts. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">But what always seems to get in the way no matter how I try to keep things/activities/obligations to a minimum is my unnecessary <em>need</em> to get things done. I'm guilty of flying through moments just to check each one off the list. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I've even found myself rushing through this book so I can move on to the next. <br />
<br />
And I feel that I am thankful for this life. Every bit of it. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">But am I really? Do I stop and notice the details? The amazing details in each day that show God's love and power? Because they are everywhere. All around me.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">So I am making an effort to slow down and really enjoy this book and the poetic words that fill its pages. And while I'm at it, enter into each moment of my day. Rush my kids less. Love my family more. Thank God for the blessings, big and small.</div><br />
