a rainy Tuesday.

Sitting here this morning listening to rain pound against the windows. It's so relaxing. I was in bed listening to it, but the it was so loud I knew if I went back to sleep I wouldn't be able to hear the kiddos when they woke up. So I came out and poured my coffee. :) Now I'll do a little blogging. :)

I finished reading the Bible all the way through last night. Believe or not, this was actually my first time doing this. I started the summer I met Tim which was 2007. The challenge with reading it this time is to sit down with a notebook (the same one every time) and write something while reading. I have this notebook from when I read through the new testament. It's awesome. There are like arrows everywhere and it talks about who came from who and where they went and such and such. :) Again, it's awesome. So I hope to do that again.

Have I mentioned that my kids are still sleeping. It's 8:22. That is even more awesome. :)

I'm really starting to more anxious about packing. I loathe packing. I don't even mind unpacking because it's like a fresh clean slate. But packing... it's the pits. I can't wait til we are "settled." Which won't be until Tim is done with school. However, I am so grateful for the path that God has us on right now. We are pretty much going to be dirt poor while in school... but I am totally ok with that! It's fun being poor. You are forced to eat at home with your family around the table... and that's fun! You learn to be content with everything you have. I have an extra appreciation for everything that I own. I hope my attitude about money always stays like this.

I usually always talk about my kid in my blog posts. I love my children. It's sometimes weird to say children. Like plural. It has gotten so much easier to have two of them. Madison is like the sweetest little girl ever. I wish I still had a point and shoot camera that had a video camera on it. I would post videos for you guys to see. It got stolen when our house was broken into on Jean circle. :( Sad day. But Madison just talks sooo much these days! She is just hilarious. This is my absolute favorite age so far. She has gotten better with her sister too. Her favorite things to do with Anna are; having her lay in her big girl bed with her, holding in her passy for her, and "rock her sleep." I can already tell they are going to be great friends.

I'm reading a book that my friend let me borrow. It's called Made to Crave. I promise I am going to to pick it back up today. I read the first chapter of it as soon as she dropped it off. It is a very intimidating book because it pretty much calls you into action. You can't read this book and not do something about your lifestyle. What is it that I crave and who is it that I should be craving? Obvious answer for the second one. I never saw myself as one to crave food. But after reading this book I realized that was a lie. So now I am dealing with filtering my cravings into the Word, prayer, and just being with Jesus. This sounds beautiful, but is not easy. So I could use some prayers. Thanks! Enough about that.

The girls are up. Madison woke at 9:10. She's now sitting in her high chair having jelly toast and milk. Anna is having some awake time in her cradle.

Back to the part where I loathe packing. If there is anyone out there who loves packing and wants to help... this is the official all call. :) Thanks!
