Blog worthy? Well, anyway......

If you don't write regularly about life's adventures and each milestone it makes it pretty difficult to decipher what's really blog worthy. So, with that said, a few random happenings around here.

1. Our roommate, Rich that has been with us all summer is leaving tomorrow. It's been great hosting him. The kids have loved smothered his every moment at the house, which has become fewer and farther between as the summer has played out. He's had an exceptionally busy ministry schedule and lots of growing along the way.

2. Kai asked me to pay him for some yard work yesterday (which he's done for a neighbor in the past). We had a little discussion about a servant's heart and how much I appreciate that about him and am blessed by that attitude. Today, he asked for my gardening gloves and has been picking weeds and cleaning up the yard all day. And if you know him well, you know he is very enthusiastic about his task!

3. I cut my hair this past week, almost 10 or so inches. During supper conversation and many compliments to me about how nice it looked, Addie commented, "Mom, after I finish my supper can you take me to get my hair cut just like yours?" So sweet.

4. This was a morning of just Addie and Eli home playing together.....costumes and dancing. So fun!

5. Addie and I have needed to get our dresses altered for my brother's upcoming wedding for several weeks now. I've struck out 3 times this week....first, popping in without an appointment, second, showing up when the appointment was entered wrong and there's no seamstress in house, and lastly, considering taking the boys with me to an appointment with visions of them playing hide&seek under the bridal gown displays because I couldn't find a sitter. I scratched that idea last minute and SO glad I did. Finally on Friday, I took the dresses to a little shop downtown where a large German woman fitted and pinned the dresses. I finally got that silly size 12 snug and then I was literally stuck in it. I only had Addie in the dressing room with me and had a full back tie up and sides with pins the entire length of my torso. I had to sneak out of the dressing room to ask for the German ladies' help TWICE. Nothing like showing off your everything. I will be worth the struggle to have the dress fit and enjoy the wedding day coming up Aug. 25!
