It's Sunday!

And, I'm posting!! I actually wrote a post last Sunday and the Lord nudged me to delete it. He knows best!

I did want to share what I got last week at church. Aren't these roses beautiful?? The church presented Linda, Pastor Bill's wife, and I flowers in honor of pastor appreciation month. Now there was a first for me! It was a wonderful thought and gesture, and quite appreciated.

Did you hear yet??? The BoSox are one game from winning the World Series!! I am behind on my sleep from staying up late to watch the games. Greg, on the other hand, can't really watch. He gets so worked up he can't sleep, even if they are winning. On occasion he will come into the room to catch a glimpse and you can hear his breathing change. He cracks me up! I have quite enjoyed the games, it is always fun when there is activity at the plate and on the bases.

I did some blog maintenance last week, not sure you noticed. I added links to some blogs we try to keep up with. The Hopkins are a family we know from Pearce and they are in Romania for a year as missionaries. Mel is a former youth group kid who is there with them. She is there partly to help with the two young boys and partly to do her own mission work. She has her own blog and provides a different view of things. I find it so interesting to follow their journey. The Vieles are friends from North Chili, I watched their daughter for a couple of years when Elissa went back to work. Seeing the photos and reading about them helps us to not feel so far away.

You will also find a link to my other blog. You did know I have a stamping blog didn't you?? That is how this whole blog thing got started. I have had it for over a year now and use it as a way to document some of my stamping ideas and share with others. I tend to post there more often than here and include photos of what I am working on. For those who don't know much about my stamping life, in July I was asked to be a design team member for Splitcoaststampers.com, and on-line stamping community. The #1 on-line site as a matter of fact. I am serving a six month term with the Dirty Dozen gals. Here is a direct link to the page of designers http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/about/design . This has been a huge privilege for me, very exciting and very challenging as well. Since the monthly gallery is only open to subscribers I can't give you a link to any of the cool stuff in there but the quality of work these ladies do is nothing short of amazing. It is better than any stamping magazine subscription. There is plenty to see on my blog though so visit when you have a chance.

I am teaching a basic stamping class at church on Wednesday nights. We've been having 12 women come and it has been fun to get to know some of them better.

The boys are doing well although a cold bug seems to be knocking on our door. Joshua has been going in to school early to play basketball and stays late on Wednesday to play chess. Kaleb is all geared up to wear his costume on Wednesday, his school has a costume parade.

Greg is doing well. He is anxious to do some projects around the house so I am working on my "Honey Do" list. Things at church are going well and he is getting into a regular routine. On Thursday mornings he and Pastor Bill take turns sharing a Bible story with the preschoolers. They love when he brings in his guitar.

We hope you are doing well!
Blessings to you this week.
