What have we been doing?

Just in case you have been wondering.......

currently i am listening to some african music from Derek's world music class, while he does algebra, and isaac dances.
I love how little kids instinctively dance to music. I think isaac even danced to the washing machine once.

Latley we have been (i have been) getting better at homeschooling winter, and serenity has started a workbook, which is her "school" she's so ecstatic, it's cute.

Our sweet friends from Milwaukee came to visit with thier sweet kids. We had such a fruitful, warm and gooey time. We played cheezy games, and ate together. and talked. I had an especially great time with Lisa. (I love you Lisa!)

I have realized a pretty important thing about motherhood/ and wifeness. Well the bottom line is creating an atmosphere. So Derek can come home to a peaceful haven. Which involves keeping everyones bellys full of yummy food. Sounds silly, but the atmosphere is pretty lame when everyone is always hungry, and i am off doing my own thing. So i made a meal plan, woohoo. Our lives have been changed!

Singing and drumming in the Rochester House of Prayer, which sounds fancy, but is just a few folks of various ages, and denominations, singing to jesus together.

Not visiting the farm. I love you farm and i miss you. (note to self: must visit farm soon)

Taking Serenity to dance/ music class, and meeting interesting folks in the waiting room.

Making new friends, inviting lots of people to my home, despite all my messes, and letting my roots grow without fear- because heaven is my home.
