Is This Friday Already??

This has been the busiest week! Lots of weeks I have many things to do but this week I was not home one day or night. We had trips to the hospital for church members in surgery,a funeral, etc., usual things when you are in the ministry. I love doing all those things but tonight is the first night I have been home and I am certainly thankful to be here!

I am a "home person" I have decided.  I would rather be home than just about anywhere and I never run out of different jobs that need to be done!  

This past Sunday our Young Adults' class had a little "Bon Voyage" party for a young lady named Kristen who grew up in our church.  She left today for a 6 month stay overseas with a mission group.  She is excited about the prospects of what the Lord is going to do in her life and so are we!  We hope to be hearing great things from her!  We pray for her as she goes in a new direction in her life!

As many of you already know, Kelly and Harper have been sick this week.  I got a call from Kelly early Wednesday morning and she was so sick.  I jumped in my clothes and headed over her way to take care of Miss Harper while Kelly got some sleep!

Harper and I had a great time.  The picture above shows her eating her lunch!  She lets you know what she likes and what she doesn't goes on the floor for Dawson to pick up!

After lunch I gave her a bath and put her down for a little nap!  I love to rock her a little and have her lay her little head on me.  Is there a better feeling in the world than a sweet baby in your arms?  Heavenly!!

While she was down for a nap, I did the laundry and cleaned up the mess she  and I made in the floor,  the kitchen and the bathroom!  We were a messy pair!!

Did I tell you how precious she is??

When her Daddy got home from his trip, Harper was happy to see him!   That was my cue to come home!   Just in time to make it to church to see my Cubbies!!

Unfortunately, Scott is now sick with the same thing Kelly and Harper had!  Kelly has called me three times to make sure I haven't gotten sick.  I feel fine.....so far!  Scott, we hope you are feeling better tomorrow!

Kelly's Korner is showing your collections today.  I didn't link up but I thought I would show a little of my collection of blue/white dishes.  I have been collecting blue/white things for years and have recently, in the past couple of years, tried to cut back on my collection.  I really need to start getting rid of stuff instead of getting more!

I also love to decorate using the blue/white motif.  My upstairs guest bathroom is in blue/white which always has a "clean" look to me.  I remember having to search high and low for a blue/white toile shower curtain!

I got this little vase in Romania!  I just love the kissing couple!

One last thing....I finally got to the bookstore and got Beth Moore's new book.  I am so excited that Kelly and a huge group of her friends are going to go to Atlanta to hear Beth speak about her new book.

Can't wait to stay home long enough to get started reading.........Have you got her new book?
I hear it is wonderful!
