The Latest Project
Oh and was it a project! We have these bar stools many of you have sat on in our kitchen. They were blue &....getting really gross. I used to wash the fabric with a sponge but the stains that covered the fabric were beyond what any sponge could fix. So I found this fabric and loved it's boldness & colors & thought it could hide stains well (you have to think this way if you have young messy kids). I thought I would cover them quickly & easily with my new staple gun. Yeah, that's not exactly what happened. After 3 staples go in perfectly, I ran out. I had to take a trip to Kmart praying "please have staples!" Got the staples BUT they weren't the right size so they would only go in half way & they were busting my staple gun apart every time. Bill was not happy , because of course he had to work the cranky staple gun. After staples were literally flying around the room (as well as tempers), and me having to pound each staple in with a hammer...here's the finished product. So if you are coming to our home this weekend, or any time for that matter, I'd better hear you say you like my chairs!!! ;-)

Time to Pray
The following I received in the mail this morning. Change for our country is a good thing...but THIS kind of change? I don't think so...

Islamic Day of Prayer at the White House
Dear Friends,
We received this email today and feel that it is important enough to
pass along to you. We need to pray for our nation like never before!
In June 2007, Presidential candidate Barack Obama declares the USA no
longer a Christian nation.
In 1952 President Truman established one day a year as a National Day
of Prayer.
In 1988, President Reagan designated the first Thursday in May of each
year as the National Day of Prayer.
This year however, President Obama, decided to cancel the ceremony at
the White House not wanting to offend anyone.
On September 25, 2009 from 4am until 7pm, a National Day of Prayer for
the Muslim religion will be held on Capitol Hill, beside the White
House. As a Christian, it makes me really wonder where the REAL
direction of this country is headed.
Whether or not you voted for the man, as Christians I would
surely hope that this would stir your spirit. They are expecting over
50,000 muslims that day in DC.
The website is:
www.islamoncapitolhill.com
Pay particular attention on the website to the bottom of the page where
it states, "OUR TIME HAS COME."
2 Chronicles 7:14 says "if my people, who are ca lled by my name,will
humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked
ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will
heal their land." becomes more important each day.

My Baby is Turning 4
Ok this is not good. Matthew's turning 4, and posting these cute baby pictures of him makes me want another one!! Somebody remind me of late night feedings & potty training woes...QUICK!!! Happy birthday to my son. What joy and laughter you bring to our happy family! You are observant, smart and a big talker once you get going. You love all insects, bugs and slimy things and give the best big boy hugs & kisses. You always tell me I'm beautiful on Sunday mornings and that simply melts my heart. We love you so much buddy. Have a great birthday at Oasis with your best bud Joshy.

The Indians Find a Home
We are into our second full week of school and really enjoying American History. We are learning about the North American Indians and Madison has really enjoyed pretending to be an Indian princess and watching Pocohantis.I said to Bill, "maybe you can build a tepee for the kids in the backyard." He just looked at me funny. This weekend a huge tree limb fell from our big tree in the backyard and landed just like this.
Bill and I both looked at it and knew right away what to do with it.
Of course!!! Build a tepee! The kids loved it. We brought out a basket with pretend food, a net for Matthew to catch fish with and a sword to defend the family from the white-faces. I'm not sure the kids will remember most of what I teach them, but I am pretty sure they'll remember their tepee.

Adrienne Elise Is Six!
Today we celebrated A. It began with opening a gift of 3 outfits & new pink shoes, eating minnie mouse chocolate chip pancakes with friends Isabella & Sofia, serving with mommy at church, and eating awesome chicken at the church BBQ. After a long nap, we ate dinner at Adrienne's favorite place, Peace-A-Pizza, followed by chocolate oreo ice cream at Carvel, and finished the day with an amazing time playing at a new park in Springfield. What a great day to celebrate our little girl. You fill our lives with so much joy Adrienne. We hope you had a very happy birthday...(we are pretty sure you did.)
