I haven't blogged in awhile...

Dylan---His birthday was this past Sunday. We had two parties for him on Sat. One was with his friends. It ended up being inside for half the time due to the inclement weather. But I think the kids had a great time. We made lightsaber & played Star Wars games. I made Dylan a lightsaber cake. Then, Eric's parents & his cousin Amy (with her two kids) came over for dinner. They all left around 8:30. Makes for a long day. On his birthday, we had church & then Vacation Bible School. Today, Wed, is his last day of kindergarten. I can't believe he's already done! He's come along way since the beginning of the year. We need to work on his handwriting & concentration over the summer. We're picking him up from school today & taking him to McDonald's to celebrate. Then off to Bible school again!


Jasmin--My little girl is kind of in a toddler bed. I found a great deal on a white wooden sleigh bed. Ten dollars at a garage sale. She loves her bed, but she's having a hard time staying in it. Last night, I found her asleep with about 10 books & the light on. We will have to start being more strict about not getting out of bed. :) She is really a little girl now. She's really lost all the "baby" look. However, she still likes to be snuggled with a blanket when she's upset or tired.


My family--I'm pretty sure right now that my parent's aren't talking to me. I've tried to call for over a week & no response. Oh well. My heart hurts, but what can I do?

So, Wed & Thurs we finish up Vacation Bible School. Friday, Eric & I are taking the teens paintballing in Joliet!! Fun! I've never been, so this should be interesting.

On a personal note, I've been doing alot of praying & searching lately. I had a friendship end badly & my confidence is pretty shot. I worry that I might say something to offend someone & that they'll shun me for it. I'm trying to be the best God would have me be & be content with how He's made me. I fall short so often. But "He giveth more grace", right?
