I am watching the breeze flow through the Jacaranda trees, it's amazing that we are having a breeze at all in this Phoenix heat, but it is lovely nonetheless!
I am thankful...
for my hardworking husband who never ceases to amaze me with how hard he works for us! He came home late last night with a black face, black hands, black arms, burns on his arms from welding. He never complains.
I am thinking about...
how nice my speed walk on the treadmill was during naptime for the kiddos. I listened to my Pandora radio station:Ella Fitzgerald. So nice!
Learning all the time...
Bought a book from the thrift store yesterday on Caligraphy. Can't wait to get two seconds together to delve in!
From the Kitchen...
Tonight's dinner is my Mother's Oven fried Lemon Chicken recipe. I tweaked it a little bit, a dash of garlic powder here, a tiny bit of jamacain jerk mix for a kick, marinating in fresh lemons. Going to bake some fresh french bread to go with it. The smell of fresh bread from the oven is on the list of top favorite smells!
I am creating...
a scrapbook for my husband's boss, Kevin right now(he gave me the pictures and the supplies).Seeing someone else's memories keeps me accountable to take time for my precious ones and make our own special memories. I also feel a little convicted that I have two kids who don't have their own scrapbooks.(someday!)
I am working on...
being extra affectionate with my children these days. Being a family of five kids, I know there are times when they are really missing out. So I'm pouring it on just to be on the safe side. Couldn't hurt!
I am going...
to hang out this evening in our backyard and let the kids play. Hopefully it will be a bit cooler by then.
I am reading...
Yikes... still in the same book. But I'm loving it, and I guess slowly digesting it. "A thousand gifts" by Ann Voskamp. Probably one of the best books I've ever read. It's beautiful, it's painfully convicting at times, it's what I need.
I am praying...
for a certain brother who works in Washington DC, that God will prove Himself faithful and that justice, TRUTH and peace reign in the White House.
I am hearing...
Fernando Ortega. I love how he sings the hymns. So lovely.
Around the house...
a few kids still napping, a few doing school, a few playing.
One of my favorite things...
this week, it has to be sea salt Chocolate.
a few pictures to share...
we set up our miniature planetarium. It was magical!
