Makensie's 1st Book-The little Mouse family in the Big Old House

Ok, both Makensie and Gabby are putting together their books they have written for a homeschool project. We are just finishing up the illustrations. On the inside cover we are going to put a couple of quotes for review from people...just like the real ones. So here is Makensie's. If you want to share a comment please do so!

Once upon a time there was a little mamma mouse named Callie.
She lived in a little hole in the wall in a big old house.
She had two baby girl mice named Sarah and Sally.
Momma mouse was pregnant and hoping for a baby boy mouse.
On Monday, Sarah and Sally snuck out into the big house after the people had breakfast and gathered up little pieces of toast, cheese and scrambled eggs that had fallen on the floor. They also found some grapes rolling around.
On Tuesday it was time for momma to go to the mouse hospital.
Momma mouse was blessed with another baby girl mouse. They named her Makensie.
On Wednesday, momma got to rest at the hospital and enjoy her new little bundle of joy.
On Thursday, momma mouse, Sarah, Sally and Makensie all went home to the their little house inside the big wall.
On Friday, Sarah and Sally went back into the kitchen of the big house after the people had lunch and gathered up some bread, lettuce, ham and a piece of orange.
On Saturday, they had a big feast to celebrate the new baby.
All the little mice cousins went outside in the field to play rat rat goose, freeze tag,
and fly kites.
The momma and daddy mice chatted with each other.
Then they all enjoyed ice cream and cheese cake.
On Sunday, they all went to church and baptized little Makensie and said thanks for their new baby mouse.
That afternoon they played some games together as a family.
They all lived happily ever after. The End.

Highway Horror

We were on our way back to college after a fun weekend trip to a friends home. The windows were down to allow at least the breeze in since it was scorching hot outside and this car had no air-conditioning, in fact, we were lucky it ran at all. And with the windows down, we actually had a nice cross breeze with the holes in the floor board.We were singing to whatever song we could find on the stations in the middle of Kansas on some little mostly unknown highway. It was the quickest route between Manhattan and Wichita. There are many things in life to fear and many things to fear in the flat lands . I had been in Wichita on two separate occasions when there were tornadoes , but this threat was even worse. On a long stretch of quiet highway we enjoyed the beautiful sights of the pastures and sky. There were several tractors working in the fields and mowing in the ditches. Up ahead of us, there was something covering the entire road for as far as we could see. As we neared, it lo

Devotion for Baby Shower

I am so sad to miss out on this opportunity to get to celebrate LeAnne and the gift of this baby boy. I was asked to share a devotional and while honored, I also know my wisdom and experience pales in comparison to many ladies that are in LeAnne's life. Especially the example of her mom Judy. I am so thankful for their close relationship and friendship and the instruction that her parents and Josh's parents give to them to seek after the Lord. The is no greater accomplishment. My own parenting has been a constant learning process and with each new child I realize how little I only thought I knew. I pray for less of me and my weaknesses so that HE can fill and lead our family. Devotional: Live Fully in the moment. While it is easy to love a sleeping, snuggling, cooing baby. Kisses on warm fuzzy heads & velvet skin. Chubby little fingers, toes and thighs. That breathtaking love so deep that our hearts hurt as they sigh and find utter fulfillment resting on our chests.

Teen Driver

My blood pressure is surely thru the roof!  We have a new teen driver.  An overly confident boy who has been, "driving for years." I reminded him that while he is doing a fantastic job the majority of the time, the lawn mower and the occasional farm truck during hay season does not a professional driver make.   I ran errands with him today for almost 2 hours.  And while I never let out a screen or grabbed the "oh crap!" bar, I can confidently say that my nerves can only handle the 1st hour.
