U-P

Mason comes in the kitchen today and is obviously very proud of himself. He says to me "Mom, guess what I can spell?" (At this point alarm bells start going off in my head - oh no what can he spell?, I hope he doesn't spell it in Sunday School!, I am going to kill his older brothers....) But before I can ask he says "Up you know U-P"

"UP?" I ask - thankful it isn't anything bad, and then he giggles at me
"Yeah mom, UP, get it U-P"

Sometimes it is really hard to keep a strait face around here.

Tonight we went out to dinner with our friends Sam and Amy and had a great time, always good to get some grown up time, especially with such good friends!

See ya

Time to update

Lets see, time to update

We had a great week this week at church - lots of good missions stuff - very inspirational and encouraging, made some new friends.

The Boys had baseball, have baseball and will have baseball it seems until mid June.

Marshal turned 7 and received his favorite gift not from his parents - but from the Geirling kids - nice!

Holly is expecting her baby any day now - She has picked the name Lily - so lets hope it really is a girl.

I read John 6:22-59 in a quite time, then it came up again later when talking to a friend, ever wonder if God gets frustrated with you? He doesn't sound too angry He explains himself again and again - trying to convince the Jews. No it's not ok to be dense, but it is good to know that He is patient even when we inadvertently are.

Drason's business is coming along - anyone need a security consultant?

Overall we have had a very long couple of weeks but a very good couple of weeks - in short I can't complain - we have had all we needed, when we needed it - and sometimes not a day before :-)
