Her Majesty


Trent and I just watched an outstanding movie. I highly recommend it. It is called "Her Majesty". Click on the link and you can read more about it. I thought it was a great movie. It teaches so many lessons about tolerance and friendship and love. You should all see it!

Hard water

Having lived in our new home only a few months, I was surprised to find evidence of hard water everywhere. The inside rim of the washing machine was building up scale. The soap in the dishwasher was not dissolving and I always felt like I had soap scum on my skin following a shower. So we bought a water softener and I love it. I love how the water feels in the shower, the washing machine is sparkling, the dishes are cleaner, the clothes are cleaner . . . it really is amazing. (and amazingly expensive). . . so here's to hoping it is worth it!

Lazy River

Our new neighborhood has some cool pools. This one has a lazy river and the big slide as well as beach entry and a splash play zone. We plan on trying out a new pool each weekend. (Notice the dark sky) We actually got to swim for about 2 minutes before the thunder began. . . so much for timing.

I'll do the dishes!

Adam is here helping me do the dishes. He insists on self feeding and makes such a mess that he needs a bath. But if I put him in the sink then I can get the dishes done as well as bathe him. . . Win- Win situation yes???

First loose tooth and check out these!

The big day is here at last. The first loose tooth (the top front left one), and the arrival of the 6 year old molars. It was pretty funny, Julianne kept excusing herself from dinner saying she had to floss because something was stuck in her teeth. She finally figured out it was 2 new teeth coming in! She is so excited!

I can read!

Julianne is loving reading. She has made it part of her routine to read to Catherine and Madelyn each night. She is a sweet big sister!

Fire Ants

Last week after church, Madelyn stepped into a fire ant pile. She started screaming and I threw down all my stuff and started to get them off her. But they got her good. They must attack with a plan -- none of them bite until at least 50 of them are ready and then they all bite at once. She had about 40 bites on one leg and 10 or so on the other. The looked awful. So consider this your warning. . . When in Texas -- don't play with ants!
