Busy Update

Busy busy times. We celebrated Cameron's 3rd birthday with a trip to the "big" zoo - the Cleveland Zoo - last week. He had fun, but I really think I'd like to go back sometime withOUT the kids, because I like to take my time and read about the animals and NOT push a double stroller. (Thank goodness for Chris pushing up the hills!) I did get to ride a camel, so that was fun. :) We also spent a LONG time at Toys 'r' Us this weekend, letting Cameron pick out a toy for his birthday. Well, we ended up picking out toys FOR him because he just wanted to play with the display toys that were WAY out of our price range! (Train table, anyone?) I had a coupon and we found a medium sized train mat and a small Lego set for him. I think he had a good weekend. :)

On the laundry front, things seem to be going well. I have not felt stressed about laundry at all, and I *think* we have less of it. The one hurdle I did run into was m-o-l-d. SO disgusting. So now I am keeping a better eye on what goes into the boys' laundry (bibs matted with food, wet washcloths, etc.) and washing it as needed.

This week I am trying to get control over my house (again), and this weekend we are hopefully focusing on improving the outside/front of our home, and the basement. We are planning a yard sale for the end of the month, so we have a lot to go through! This will be our first one since we were engaged, and even that one was held elsewhere. We're looking forward to selling our junk, I mean, treasures, and getting some money to go towards a new vehicle and vacation. :)

Fun stuff! And now it's time to clean the kitchen cabinets.

Ephesians 3:17-19 (NLT)

And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
