Whassup?

Hello all!  What's new? We've been a little busy around here. . .




This is what we did after the busiest Easter Sunday service and luncheon ever. You're never too old or too young to enjoy some driveway chalk hopscotch!











And then there was this. . .
We thoroughly enjoyed the $20 seats that came with a hot dog, a drink and a free hat!  Supermom didn't think to bring any sunscreen - but the smart mom with a big "mom bag" in the row in front of us shared.  Too bad the Astros lost!

And of course, you can't leave out this. . .




A much needed date night out at Kemah with some great friends! Who are those two smiling, free-spirited people? We had to "breathe in the smell of relaxation" after we parked the car.  We've been a little wound up!










We've done some exciting things. . .
while The Hubs was away at a conference. Supermom took the kids to Chuck E Cheese and won the "Best Mom Ever" award for bringing some coupons that landed us with 100 tokens (oh the crazy amount of tickets and shopping for junk that ensued).

We've celebrated some firsts. . .
a precious time in every young boy's life!  I don't know why we waited so long!

And in the midst of the busyness, we've taken some time to revel in a Saturday with no plans (except for the poor Hubs who planned a work day at the church). . .

So, that's what we've been doing. . . keeping our heads up and remembering that "No, despite all these things (the busyness of life) overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us." Romans 8:37

Closing out the year 2024

New Year's Eve. . . the end of a year that makes you reflect back on the last 365 days. Most of us are looking forward to the new year and some of us are looking back and wondering where it went! What happened to 2024?! What do we even have to show for it but some bumps and bruises? It's been a wild ride, ya'll!  But reflection is a good thing, right? Taking time to skim over the year and look for highlights and lowlights and facing the disappointments and celebrating the achievements - these are important things to do. So what were some of my wins and losses? What a great year! Celebrated 1 year of working for the church Traveled internationally with hubby several times Started year 2 of our ministry school Got a dog (a BIG dog) Graduated a kid from Bible School Started a kid at a private school (step of faith) What a tough year! Experienced a flood of sorts at the church (broken pipe) Got banned from entering a country Got a dog (a BIG dog) Moved adult kid back home (pare...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . .

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I wrote a blog. Posts were few and far between at best. I was working 40+ hours a week at a job. There were 3 children at home with various activities and none were driving so taxiing was my side hustle (unpaid, grueling hours). The Hubs was working 50-60 hours a week pioneering a church and starting a side business. So much has changed since the last post, that I contemplated scrapping it all and starting fresh.  Or should I?   Always a challenge to get all my words out, I hesitate to even write this one. But I will provide a catch-up for history's sake... Kid #1 is graduated and trying to be a grown-up on his own in a different city.  College courses, which are mostly online because of the big 'C', working almost full time and a girlfriend keep him pretty busy, but not too busy to call his mama every few days.  Especially when the bank account is low.  Kid #2 is finishing up his last year of high school and living hi...

Tea for two!

Once upon a time, two ladies prepared for tea.  The smallest of the two played the part of hostess and laid out her fine china. Many lovely delicacies were brought out with the tea. The two ladies were dressed in their finest jewels and had their hair adorned in the most becoming way. Their dainty pink purses hung across their dainty arms. They gathered young babies and fed them with great care.  The babes were cleaned, bathed and put to nap in the cozy beds nearby. The two ladies were having such a grand time that they decided to invite others to join them in their tea.   The gentlemen neighbors were promptly invited to tea, but alas, they had a prior engagement (helping small frogs jump across the road).  Upon returning to their tea, the ladies met an unfortunate circumstance! They were attacked by a flock of angry birds!  The prettiest little lady adamantly declared "there's no angry birds having tea!" When the two ladies were safely seated back at th...
