Lately

I'd love to post more often than I do.  I often think of things that I should put on the blog but don't get around to it.  We have been enjoying this spring weather.  Mud seems to be the thing right now.  Even Kayla gets into it up to her elbows and loves it.  Good thing because there is plenty of it!  Jack's first soccer game of the season was yesterday.  I think the team was glad to be back together.  They have a fantastic coach and seemed to have a great time playing together- and they won!  After the game, Brian treated us to donuts from a wonderful bakery in town.  Yum!  His sister and her girls are in town so there has been lots of fun cousin time over the weekend, too. 
Whenever I catch a quiet moment, I am either reading "Uncle Tom's Cabin" or flipping through Better Homes and Garden.  We bought a house!!  Yippee!  So I'm looking for ideas because decorating is really not my thing.
And I have to say, in the midst of everything, I am developing a deeper appreciation of and admiration for my husband.  This guy is gifted in so many ways.  He handles the Word so well, is thoughful and intentional in his teaching of it. 
He leads his family well.
He loves us well.
He serves us well.  He's been doing the grocery shopping since Lucy was born and actually enjoys it!  He always brings me a new spice to add to me collection.  Flowers this week, too. 
What a guy.
