April Update

I forgot to mention the happenings around the house in my previous post...here goes:

Matthew had hockey weekends in Atlanta and Chicago, along with Hockey Camp in Nashville on Tuesday and Thursday nights.. He is in Chattanooga today for Lacrosse and Nashville later today for hockey. Lauren applied and interviewed for a job in Chicago, she will hear back next week on whether she will be moving. Hannah is focusing on school (I hope) and untangling her love life. I am praying she will put romance on hold for a year or two and focus on school.  I had surgery on my left knee, Greg goes on travel on Monday.

You know, when I look at this, I can't believe this is my life. I am a homebody. God definitely has a sense of humor and is stretching me in ways I have never imagined. I hope I survive this season of life with my sense of humor in tact and His light in my heart.

April

The month is drawing to a close and the lazy days of Summer are a breath away, so close...yet so much to be done.

The month has been busy with Matthew's hockey and my knee surgery. May looks just as busy...and so does June...but July...now there is a month with promise. Lazy days of iced tea and a good book on the back porch with the fan running...or knowing me and how much I hate humidity, inside on my cozy couch.

Parenting is taking a toll on me. I find I am lacking the wisdom, discernment and tech savvy ability to navigate my role in life as a parent of two teens. I praying God dumps a whole lot of wisdom on me soon. I fear I am about to age 50 years in the next 2 years.

Today, is a day I have been craving. No one is here and since my knee is healing from surgery, I am fairly limited on chores I can do.so I will be enjoying a cuppa and catching up on Masterpiece...a quiet day is a gift from heaven and a foretaste of the lazy days of Summer....well, July.

Happy Easter

He is risen! He is risen indeed! I love this weekend. Christ was resurrected and the earth is coming to life with the colors of Spring.

It has been a good weekend, we had an awesome Church Service on Friday night, served last night and today, we have nothing on our schedule. We are just hanging around the house having some family time. My favorite kind of day.  I completely forgot to take pictures of the kids in their Easter best last night and I know today they will be adorned in sweats or workout garb.

It has been busy around the house and looks to get even busier...I thought hockey season was over...but nope, it is just getting started.

My trip to Iowa last week for mom's surgery went well. She is healing nicely and didn't need any pain medication. Amazing. My brother has taken over her care and I am sure is getting extra points in heaven for this.

Hannah was great last week also,  when the doctors found out she is interested in medicine, they gave her a lot of useful tips and information.

My brother grilled some amazing food so Matthew was a wee bit jealous he missed out on the food. Otherwise, he was a happy camper with some hockey in Tulsa. (A practice for a tournament in Toronto in May. It's a team with kids from several states)

Hannah got some snow while we were in Iowa and she was so happy. I will insert some pictures later...I still need to upload. In the meantime, if you can't make it to church, you can watch here. http://live.churchofthehighlands.com/



It is amazing! Happy Easter!
