Wordful Wednesday

Fun new things happening in our household lately!

• Daily memory verses are going well. It's truly amazing how fast kids can memorize!
• I'm dwelling on Romans 12. This chapter is FULL of things I need more of in my life.
• I've been walking & even running (Don't Laugh!) every night at least a mile since Sunday. This Nike Running website is helping me stay motivated.
• I took my first voice lesson in 5 years last night with my college voice teacher, Dr. Weber. I had so much fun but was so nervous. He said I've still got it, but we have a lot of work to do if I want to make any money from my voice in the future. That's the goal, so we'll see!
• Brad made dinner last night and even made dessert (Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie!!!) and had it ready for when I came home from making HG deliveries! (Michelle, your MIL has your stuff!) I was SO impressed! It was all HG by the way: Skillet Tex-Mex Dinner! Good stuff, and sooo easy even a hubby can make it. Thanks honey. You love me.
• Yes, the mpm changed. The roast is in the crockpot right now and it smells SO good!
• Moriah is down to one night bottle, so we're glad for the increase in pay (NOT having to buy so much formula). The Dr. said to add whole milk little by little, but he doesn't know my PICKY little baby, I guess, cuz she will have NONE of that!
• Gymnastics starts back again for Grace this week! She loves it and gets better every year!
• We are reading "The Lightning Thief" together as a family and we're ALL loving it! I heard from a friend it was good, and then when I read more about it, I realized it would be perfect for our study of Greek Mythology. It's so much fun trying to figure out which character goes with which greek god or goddess. The movie will be out in February 2010, too!
• Homemade Gourmet has become a full time job! July looked a little meek, but then Wow! School hit and so did the bookings! Praise God! It will be a year since I started in November and I committed to myself that I would try it for that long. It's really been a blessing. I didn't know I would love it like I do. I have my own business. Never woulda thunk it.
• We are moving in 3 weeks! This weekend is devoted to PACKing! I've been purging and trashing stuff for a few weeks! (Hold on to your stuff, kids! Mom's on a roll!) Moriah's room is bare with the entrance of a new niece coming in November....or from Carrie's birthing experiences....most likely late October! But Moriah's Toddler Bed is ready in the garage and her NEW bedding is on it's way! Thank you, Kohls, for the coupon! :)
• I'm reading Kevin Leman's book "Growing Up Firstborn: The Pressure and Privilege of Being Number One". I'll let you know more about that later. I love this kind of stuff! (which I read from this book that I love this stuff because it's a trait of the firstborn to love this kind of stuff! (So quit thinking I'm weird, k!?!)
• Most exciting of all is a special gift from my sweet, thoughtful husband, who is way too good to me. It's so special I'll save it for another post. ;)
