Update and Pics for those Asking


Today was Zack's first day at his new school. He wasn't too thrilled. His words were, "It is so boring." "I would rather stay home and play video games all day"! We'll see if his mind changes because he really does have an awesome teacher now!

After school, we had some fun at the park. I pushed them on the swings and played Auntie G's role letting them kick me and pretending to fall over. They giggled for so long! I tired quickly, but we were making good memories.

Here's the boy having some fun at the park where they played for two hours straight having the best time ever! It did my heart some good. That is for certain! This is Zack's pre tan stage!


The crazy girl! She was concentrating on moving her feet up and then down!
Here she's having some fun with all of Megan's toys! She feels like she's having the neverending slumber party!

The BEST mom and grandma a kid could ever have!!!! I love you mom! I couldn't imagine life without you in it!

I was at a church on Saturday that was refreshing. As I walked in the door, I saw these words painted largely on the wall: PERFECT PEOPLE NOT WELCOME
What a breath of fresh air it was to be in a room full of people who felt no need to wear masks and were not compelled to be hypocrites to hide who they really are.

Thanks for the comments even those that I have not publicly posted. I am in a valley in life, but God continues to show me little blessings here and there. I am amazed at how much He loves His children even when we seek independence from Him.
I highly recommend, "The Shack"! My entire perspective of God completely changed. I have never thought about God in such an incredibly loving way nor have I fully comprehended free will.
Anyhow, I'm counting on the fact that God doesn't give us anything that we can't handle. Even on the days that I feel like I just can't take the pain anymore, God comes swooping down with a tiny romantic moment or a passage that sooths my soul. It is nice to finally be in prayer even if it is just me telling God what I want in life. What an awesome thought that I can speak to Him just like my children do me. "But mom...." I hear myself, "But God..."
It he really saves tears in a bottle, mine is a keg! LOL

Yay, pictures! They look so happy together. I'm sure Zack will get right into school again especially now that he has a better teacher. Tell the kids I said "hi".

Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. Getting out (like going to the park) and being in that California sunshine does wonders when you are feeling down.

Hope you are enjoying your new job. I start a long term sub job on Thursday that runs through the end of the school year. We leave a couple days later for Ukraine! We got our appointment last week. Thanks for sharing your inspiring journey to and with your kids. I can only hope and pray to get two that are as sweet and fun as yours are.


Hugs to you. Hope things continue to get better.

P.S. I would be happy to be in Zach's pre-tan stage when I was tan. :D That boy was blessed with gorgeous coloring!
