Currently {Link Up}. Imagining, Asking...

This Week's Theme Words:

COVETING, Imagining, Asking, Saving/Saving for, Fearing Enjoying

Imagining: Noah's first day of school {and all the days to follow}. I cannot believe my baby boy will be in kindergarten this year! I'm so excited and so afraid. I'm so proud and feeling so nostalgic. I really hope he loves his teacher and classroom and has a wonderful time with the other children. 

Asking: God to send me answers and give me more and more patience to endure the people who don't understand how they affect other people. I'm asking for the strength to be proactive and not cry during the most important moments. I've been turning to my Bible a lot lately for insight: everything you want to know is in that book. If you identify what's bothering you, then you can change what's bothering you--or, at least, change your attitude and way of handling it.

Let me add a link to a really, really good online Bible lesson that I read, in case anyone else needs to read it, too. This is the first one about gossip and why you shouldn't do it . This is the second one.

Saving For: A homeschool preschool/kindergarten curriculum to use during the summer with Noah. I thought ebay would have tons of them, but there aren't any affordable sets on there (inexpensive/fair prices). I'm putting some things together from online resources. If you've never visited Ally's website, you really, really should; she is a-mazzzz-ing!!! Here, check it out. No Time For Flash Cards. Tell her how awesome we think she is! :D

I'm also saving for another swing set for my best guy. We bought him one when he was a year old, but he definitely needs a larger one with all of the fun extras. Playing outside is what kids do best, so it's always nice to have a special swing set (or two) to enjoy.

Enjoying: The weather, the flowers (my snapdragons), the birds and guess what? The hummingbirds came back this week! I've really missed hearing their squeaks and games all over the place. I'm always hoping one will build a nest in my rose bush (or somewhere else low) so that I can see the tiny babies :) I'm enjoying spending a lot of time with Noah this summer as we go to his summer activities and as we do everyday stuff. I enjoy my dogs and their crazy antics; they keep me amused and the extra love is wonderful <33

Also, enjoying this fun place we found last weekend! It's an indoor bounce house dreamland for kids and Noah had a blast! He played in an arcade for the first time ever, too, and I'm so impressed with his basketball skills!! Mama loves basketball and has her fingers crossed for this blossoming talent. Oh, and I even took a disposable camera to take photos! No more blurry phone photos for our days out lol :) Time to get back to developing some pictures and filling those photo albums.

Flowers for Mama :)

What have you been up to? :)
