Life these days has been....yes, I'm going to say it!! CRAZY!!!! I think today has been one of those almost normal routine days! Which explains the blog post!!! And...PLEASE don't hate me...but it's not the second part of our Presbytery....*hides behind desk* Those pictures are on the other computer...and I'm too lazy to actually walk up to the third level....in all reality; my sister is on that one! (Yes Jess....you're the one! (-; ) Anyhow...I was looking through someone else's blog post and they kind of recapped things that went on during their month! So, I will steal their idea and do the same!! During the past few months I've been running errands, taking the kids out to the park and museum, having picnics with them, driving to their appointments, cleaning, and life....did you know that I'm 24? HALFWAY to 50!!! Crazy to think of it that way...kind of scares me how fast this life really is! You never really realize that until you're somewhat ol...

"It is a perpetual source of encouragement, advocacy, assurance, and emotional refueling that empowers a child to venture with confidence into the greater world and to become all that he can be." ~ MARIANNE E. NEIFERT Our trip to Spain has come and gone leaving us packed full of wonderful sweet memories! I wish time would just stand still a moment or two just so I could soak up precious times that I want to last forever! When I get the photos (*cough* Ben *cough*) I'll post my journal entries along with most of the pictures that captured our adventures!

Life these days is like a roller-coaster! It never seems to SLOW DOWN!! But, in all the craziness, I have so much to be thankful for! Another day to live, another breath from God, another heartbeat, a family who sticks beside me no matter what I've said or done, friends that like me despite the things I say and do, and a God who is willing to forgive me and wash me clean! I'm so thankful that we have the freedom to worship when and however we please, and our church doors are always open, no matter what holiday it is, no matter what the situation! Praise God for the little things in life! I've collected some random photos of my week, and a group of photos from an outing I had with the four littles! So, buckle up your seat belts, it's gonna be a bumpy ride! One can never go without coffee in the mornings...at least it's true in the McDonald house! I have this grand photo-shoot idea that I'm wanting to do as soon as warm weather arrives! It includes th...
