More Monday

I know I have been gone for a while... Life was busy... Peanut had tubes put in her ears and 3 hours of dental work done under sedation... We went on vacation over 4th July weekend... This year we took our annual family vacation at Theodore Roosevelt National Park - North Unit... We primitive camped 4 days and 3 nights... Things were crazy but here I am... The problem we had in May finally had some results... This is a good and bad thing... So far with us cooperating things won't be come any more of a mess... As far as our little engineer's situation we are looking at another 6 weeks till we have an answer or not... We had a meeting and updated the files... Everything looks promising... We talked about other options if things don't go as planned... He has less then 2 weeks of ESY left... YEA!!! Peanut had her 4th birthday... It was a 'princess' Dora theme... She received some new clothes, Leapster 2 (pink/purple), 2 Leapster games (Dora and Disney Princess) a book and a Dora DVD... We grilled out burgers, hot dogs and chicken... Our computer was giving us all kinds of trouble but seems to have calmed down... Linebacker and Monkey are both doing well... Everyone is healthy... My husband made an amazing recovery from a issue he was having late one Saturday evening... I can't do anything but Thank God each and every day that we are rid of that evil that was in our home... Ordered and started using Catholic Woman's Daily Planner for 2009-2010... I read a wonderful book called Addicted To Stuff by Dale O'Leary... I signed for Full of Grace: Women and the Abundant Life Foundational Study in the fall... I'm currently working my way through A Mother's Rule of Life by Holly Pierlot... I made a major decision regarding the fall which I will reveal on Saturday... I have received as a gift, bought, or newly rediscovered on my bookshelf several other books I'm going to read this summer/fall/winter... They are When the Heart Cries (Amish Fiction) by Cindy Woodsmall, Domestic Church: Room by Room by Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle, The 25-Day Financial Makeover by Francine L. Huff, The Cross Country Quilters (quilting fiction) by Jennifer Chiaverini, Food Storage 101 by Peggy Layton and Holiness for Housewives by Dom Hubert van Zeller... I hope that catches everyone up...

I heard, through the grapevine, about the removing of evil ... God's grace works in amazing ways, doesn't it??? So happy that you don't have it anymore and will be praying for the strength to keep 'it' out. THis is something that affected me during my growing up years, so I am very aware of what it can do to children (and really how it can 'keep' affecting you into your adulthood).

Even though Domestic Church didn't appeal to me, I'd love to hear how you're able to implement it. Holiness for Housewives is one of my favorite books. It, too, is short and simple, but packed with richness of our faith. Enjoy your summer reading, Caroline!

Glad to hear how everything else is going ... and going well.

Hey there -- glad to see you're back at it. God is good!!
I'd love to read, "Holiness for Housewives" sometime, if I could borrow it from you!
We'll have to talk camping the next time we see each other. I just checked out a great book via ILL called, "Cooking on a Stick" that had some great new-to-me recipes that were very kid friendly. I planned to make one using bananas, chocolate and marshmallows on our last trip, but the kids all love bananas so much, they ate them plain! Oh, those health nuts. Haha...
God bless your day!
