This is a test

It will be interesting to see if anyone that I mention in this blog responds with a comment... so it's kind of like a test. :)

Lots has been happening around here lately. My friends the Krajca's and their beautiful boy, Benjamin, are now home from the hospital after a successful surgery on Monday for Benjamin. I am so happy and full of praise for what the Lord has done for this family.

While they were in Hippy Dippy Land our friends the Findley's came to see them and stayed with us. Huge amounts of fun were had by all, Z got to play with his friend Alexis, Jason & B got to play with Michael and Christi and I got to spend some time together too.
** Cute side note: B&K got to play with Alexis too. B went up to Alexis and said, "Hi Alexis I've missed you." Alexis looked at him and said, "I miss you too, what's your name?" So funny! **

Yesterday I completed my "job" of student teacher supervising. It was fun and I got to be in the classroom just enough to remember how much I LOVE what I'm doing now. Oh yea - and I did such a fantastic job that they want me to do it again next semester! Go figure!

Today Z had his friend Emma over to play for a while but during that time I did some packing for Erin. "Packing for Erin?" What does that mean - well get comfortable and let me tell you a little story. I had (up until this morning) a large black trash bag full of clothes in my kitchen floor. My sweet father-in-law, John, gave them to me this summer.
Here's the story. About a year & a half ago I asked the sweet in-laws to hold a bag of clothes for me. They were given to me by a friend for Z but they were way too big and we couldn't fit all the stuff in our car, so John agreed to hold onto them for me. Well I asked about them a while ago and he couldn't find the bag so we just figured he saw a trash bag and threw it away - bummer but no big thing. Well while we were home this summer John produced a big bag of clothes, saying he had found them, yea for him! Well I got home and opened up the bag only to find several things that indicated these were not the clothes from my friend for Z. A few give-aways were the colors - pink, purple, pretty pastel prints, the sizes - 10-12 youth and finally a very pretty ruffly dress that I was certain my friend had not put on her son! :) So I quickly realized that I had driven from Missouri to Texas with a bunch of clothes that belonged in Massachusetts!
So today I packed up a couple of boxes for Erin.

Finally, I owe my brother, Scott an apology. I teased him this week and said we were going to come to see him - I'm sorry Scott, but if you keep reading, you will see a picture at the bottom of all of this just for YOU!

So now with my stories all told I will treat you with a whole heaping load of pictures! Enjoy!

Oh yea - we put up our Christmas lights a couple of weeks ago.
Yes Mark & Scott my house still appears to be in a sink hole.

My Christmas tree decorators, notice A supervising. Getting ready for Papa Coach & Nana.

This is just a cute picture.

"Wii want to play" exclaimed the boys!
