Samuel
The other morning i was sitting on my swing drinking my coffee, and reading my bible. MY FAVORITE PLACE.
I began to read about Samuel, Samuel the son of Hannah that is. Let me tell you it really blessed my heart. It painted a picture for me just how dear my Samuel is. I wanted him. I asked God for him. My heart yearned for a baby and God gave me Samuel. He really is sunshine to me. Samuel has a very tender heart. He loves with his whole heart, and is excited about some fun things.
After i finished reading and thanking God again for my sweet blessing in Samuel, i went in the house. He as coming down the stairs and i took him in my arms and told him i loved him, and what a blessing he was, and that I had asked God for him and he gave me a precious gift in him. In his 8 year old way he said... "Mom you ok?" i had to laugh, and then he told me he loved me too.
My children are such gifts... from Leila's outstanding knowledge, and crooked little smile, to Alaina's giggle of joy, and Samuel's sweet gentle spirit. Thank you Jesus for my kids.

First week of Summer break
This, week has been so great and busy at the same time! The girls started swim team and boy does that keep us busy. I am also keeping my sisters 4 kids two days a week to earn a little extra money. I am hoping it works out! So far I haven't been able to start the summer deep clean on my house yet, but i am waiting for a rainy day to do that. Well a rainy day that doesn't get consumed by swim team Yes they swim in the rain, it is serious stuff.
Alaina and Leila did very well on their first meet. They didn't win their races but they swam their little hearts out. Leila was in the lead but Jon was video taping her and she paused to look at the camera. DOH....
Summer is my favorite part of the year. I get to be a mommy and nothing but a mommy. I love those special moments i can share with the kids because i am not exhausted or irritated by work. and they tend to like Summer mommy better too.
If you read my skinny blog, or really my not so skinny blog, you will read about this new challenge i am taking on to run the breast cancer race in october. it is called couch to 5k a nine week training. I am trying to recruit samuel to help me keep time. I want to run this race to 1. Support breast cancer research for people like my mom who have battled it, 2. get my butt in gear to lose some of this weight i have gained (looking rather portly lately) 3. Just feel healthy all around.
Over all we are off to a great summer. Just finished an amazing series at our church about finances, and boy did i need that. The weekend i sang in the choir i heard the message three times... that was meant to be i am sure!!! Budget here we come, and it aint going to be easy, in fact it makes me a little nervous blogging about it.
Here is to a productive, athletic, fun filled, relaxing, kid enjoying summer!
