Around the House and Close to My Heart

This week over coffee Rachel Anne asked what projects we have going on around the house. Not too much happening here, accept that we need to replace our utility sink. Last week I realized there was a clog, and when my DH took it apart to fix it, we realized that there was some decay going on both with the pipe, and the drain hole in the sink. Time for a new sink! It looks like we're going to get one for a steal at $20 but we have to buy the faucet. DH will work on that tomorrow, but until then, he's fixed the washer hose to the drain pipe so I can still do laundry! Boy was I relieved to know I wasn't going to get too far behind on that!

Other than that, this last week was Kids' Camp at our Church. It was M-W. My older two got to camp out on church grounds and have lots of fun learning and playing games. It was their first time away from home over night without either mom or dad. They did great.

The theme was "Sticky Faith...Letting Jesus stick to you." When I picked up the kids on Wednesday they had all kinds of fun things to tell me, but one thing really blessed my heart.

My 7 yr old asked Christ into his heart during camp! I knew he was close. He's been talking about Jesus like they're best buds lately. I wish I could have been there for the moment, but I get to stick around for a lifetime to watch him grow in Christ. :) That's him, just a bit tired after we got home from camp.










My youngest kids camped out here at home. We played games and swam in the back yard. We even built a special tent in the boys' bedroom where it was nice and cool for them to sleep. All in all, it was a great time. We were all glad to have JS and RL back home on Wednesday.

Yesterday was my 15th Anniversary. (Scroll down to previous post to read my thoughts.) I made him his favorite dinner and then blessed him with a massage. He's blessing me by working on his "honey-please-do" list. :) This morning he vacuumed the coils on the back of the fridge. That was a HUGE item marked off my list!

The weather is reaching the 100degree mark here now. Too hot for me. I try to stay in doors as much as possible. The kiddos are using the pool lots. It was well worth the purchase. I think probably next year we'll have to upgrade in size though. They are my little fishes! :)

Well, have a great weekend all! I'm going back to work here around the house.
