Hazel is in a Leaping into Books competition and this girl's reading has been FANTASTIC! Also, most days I read a book to her in addition to her reading. We are being introduced to both old and new children's literature. Our list of favorites has increased.
These homecoming preparations are fun and funny and interesting. I want to learn how to make a wristlet.
Willem's team - the Warriors - had a GREAT game tonight! It was tied with a minute left in the fourth! Our team lost but played with a lot of heart.
*******************
This was a summer of no camping for us, quite unlike the five previous summers. Merit played a lot of out of town week day games. Double headers typically and not tournaments (baseball). So going there and back in a day often made sense. Also, Willem only had two away tournaments compared to other summers where he was out of town more.
Camping and baseball are fond memories of ours. We bought the 5th wheel when I was pregnant with Oren. Lately, Oren asks to sit out in the camper with me. We usually visit. We see if Connie the cat or Nellie our dog has followed us out. Sometimes he plays with the toys that are stowed away in the camper. My mornings with this guy are precious. And during a week where I sub, the mornings with him become even more precious.
Winter memories will probably be made in the camper, even if that means it just being parked in our driveway.
Oren throughout the day sometimes talks about once everyone is home in the evening … will dad cook over charcoal? Will we watch football in the shop? Will Hazel and I play restaurant? He misses this crew.
Today was full! Dentist appointments for Oren and Hazel, a wonderful, much needed coffee date for me with dear Marilyn, a doc appt for me, a football game for Willem, basketball sign ups for Willem, we ordered Merit's wristlet for his date...
AUTUMN GOODNESS
Crisp mornings and warm coffee
The cilantro has reseeded itself and is coming back up
The chickens are laying like crazy
Laundry piles
REFRESHING walks and talks with friends
A mom who doubts some decisions
Kids who run around happy
Football's on and when it isn't baseball is
Having been justified by faith, we have a peace with God.
Romans 5:1
If any of you is having troubles, he should pray. James 5:13
God is good and each day is a gift.
