This Week's Scripture
"Nor shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you be doomed to destruction like it." Deuteronomy 7:26
This Week's Prayer!
We invite Your Holy Spirit to dwell in these rooms, which belongs to Henry, Anthony, Zoë, Asa, Rose, Grace, and Elijah, and in Heidi, Angel, and Angela's room. You are Lord over heaven and earth, and we proclaim that You are Lord over their rooms as well. Flood it with Your light and life. We pray that You, Lord, will make their rooms a holy place, sanctified for Your glory. And may You also dwell in our room and in each one of our extended family and friend's rooms.
Angela and Angel turn 2!! Wow!!
Can you believe it?!!!!! Finally we have a garden! We LOVE IT!!!!! We have been eating the squash..... fried squash! Tomorrow we will have some cucumbers ready to pick and eat which Asa has been waiting patiently for. The beans are coming slowly but not as slow as the okra. The lettuce we have to say was yuk! I must have bought the wrong kind because the two I bought has a bite to it when you swallow. So what kind do I buy?
Grampa is giving Anthony a lesson in picking the sucker plants while we all admire the garden! I can't believe we did not do this a long time ago!!
I have to say that I am VERY excited about our garden and so are the children!! Here are pictures of us planting our seedlings in the rows! We have green beans, okra, cucumbers, squash (I am ready for this to fry! the okra too!) Mix greens and lettuce and white onions and red onions! no tomatoes because I am the only one that eats them!! We did not have enough room for the seeds we planted because I was hoping to do potatoes for Tommy. I'll have to see if I can do that in the fall? Anybody know?
The boys got their hair cut. Asa was the only one I took a picture of. Asa is REALLY into his hair and the way it looks. He does not like his curls/body and I keep telling him how awesome it is!! He wants his bangs to lay straight down on his forehead. If he only knew how cute his hair is with the curls/body!!
And my
SewSensible news: I am in the process of tranfering all my patterns to an actual physical pattern to sell in stores!! This is so exciting! The picture of Grace above is wearing an outfit I made to send as a sample that will be displayed at the Pittsburg Quilt Market! This one is my Boutique Dress Top and Boutique Bottoms! I was able to finish looking over the details for three of my patterns today. I will be sending the Boutique Dress Top, Boutique Bottoms, and FAITH Double Layer Dress Top to press this week!! All God for sure!
Today Asa had a tball game but it got cancelled b/c of the rain. The windows are up, the wind is slightly blowing and it is 66 here. A cool front came through with this an hour ago. The smell of Chocolate Chip cookies is throughout the house while the boys are playing Mario Wii! I am updating this blog b/c my sweet husband said I neglect it since I have been twittering!!!!!
Saturday morning, Tommy and Asa went fishing at the pond across the street! Asa was so excited!
Yesterday we had a little Garden Party!! What is that?..... me and the children planting seeds! We first had to go to Home Depot and I decided I could not wait until Tommy got home so I went with our seven children that are at home and WOW everybody was great except Elijah (our 2 year old!) I mean, I could have just him and feel like I have 8!! Anyway, we got our seed starter pots, seeds, some plants, and some soil. After nap we planted! They loved this!! We planted okra, cucumbers, beans, lettuce, mix springs, squash, and garlic chives. I know we are a little late but they don't know that!! We hope to post the fruit of our labor one day. This weekend Tommy will get some soil and till our garden area and we will plant some more!
Our garden is starting to grow! (this April 10)
