A whole bunch of stuff...

Yesterday was the Queens Birthday holiday. We love holidays here because that means Shane doesnt have to work. I've got a great husband who let me have a nice hot bath and go back to bed for 2 1/2 hours yesterday morning. Then he insisted that we buy Chinese for dinner (we dont eat out much here...too expensive) so that I could continue relaxing and not have to cook all day. Believe it or not--my job is exhausting. Some of you might be thinking-What job? If that is you, stop reading this blog...I dont like you. The job I'm referring to is the one where I am a full time mom. It's wonderful...but so exhausting.

Today has been great. I'm so thankful for the friends I have here...especially the creative ones. My friend, Jeri, came over today. Levi (her little boy) and Noah played so great together. There was only a little pushing at the end (on behalf of NOAH!!). It was nice to sit and have a cup of tea and just let the boys play without stressing over them killing each other. Jeri is a nurse, but she is so creative with ideas for kid's learning...she would have made a great teacher.

Books...I've currently finished all the books I was reading. Now I have new ones that I am starting:

1. The New Dare to Discipline by James Dobson. Yes, I know I have already read this, but I have a toddler so give me a break! I'm also about to start a chore/behavior chart for Noah as well (My WONDERFUL parents are helping me with it). When I'm finished, I will post it and let you know how it's going.
2. The Beloved Disiple by Beth Moore
3. Let the Nations Be Glad. The Supremacy of God in Missions by John Piper

I have a few friends lined up for my Bible study. YEAH! I ordered the books this weekend!! Thank you God for Godly friends who want to study with me!

I am soooo happy to say that I was able to fit into my pre-Dave jeans on Sunday!!!!! I had to suck in a bit, but I did it!!! My exercise and eating is really starting to pay off along with time of getting over being pregnant.

I better get to cooking. We are having grilled Hamburgers for tea. Dave is having sweet potato, squash, and pears. Yum!
