September 2008

Well, it has been a full couple of months. This weekend it again has struck me how much I am trying to juggle each day. Having 2 teenagers and a 1 year old is quite a contrast! Thankfully the Lord is sovereign. He knows what is best and he has brought us another little life to invest in.
We had a fun time this weekend visiting with Keith's sister and her husband. They came here from Pennsylvania. They left this morning. While Keith and the other 2 kids visited with Jan & Denny on Saturday, Katie and I worked at the school concession stand at the University of Michigan game. The crowd was going crazy at the end of the game. U of M was losing 19-0 and in the last quarter they ended up winning the game. It was amazing! Michael Phelps was there but never bought anything from our stand. Bummer.
This week it is getting a little cooler and greyer outside.
Keith hung our blinds in the family room. They look nice. Now, we have a border to hang. Bookshelves are being built for either end of the room and then we get to decorate the walls, put cushions on the sofas and better lighting. It is coming together. Fixing up our house is a huge project but well worth it. Our goal is to provide a great place for everyone to come home to and for others to enjoy with us. We love having people over but haven't done much of it.
Sarah is walking quickly, working on some new teeth, saying "flower" a lot, and growing her hair longer. David is driving them to school fairly often which frees some of my time up(and sanity, since the school parking lot can be a bear). He continues to take drum lessons, play for the worship band at youth group and hang out with his friends. Katie is anxious to start drivers ed. She'll probably take the 3 week class in the Spring. She is enjoying piano and has lots of fun being with her friends. She told me this weekend that she really enjoys watching football and soccer. She is a sports person.
Keith has been working hard on home projects and he's doing a great job. Our 20th anniversary is on Wednesday! That is hard to believe. In honor of our anniversary, we have a special trip planned for the end of February.
Til next time...
