Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Colossians 4:6

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Getting ready for guests...

I am spending this week getting ready for my in-laws visit this Friday. I am assuming they are on their way, but we have not heard from them to know for sure. They take a much longer time to make the trip north than we do. My poor kids have had so many invitations for activities this weekend and I have said no to almost all of them. We will make some stops by by some birthday parties to drop off gifts and that is it. I am not even certain if they will make it for dinner, but I will have something on hand just in case. B will at least have a few days off to spend some time with them so hopefully it will be a bit better than their last visit spending most of their time with me while I shuffled Aidan to school.

Not much else going on otherwise. Aidan has tremendously improved on the bike riding. The training wheels are now off and he is struggling a bit with the new method of getting started since he is no longer balancing on 4 wheels. We upgraded Ainsley to a new bike as well, a big girl bike with training wheels. She is doing very well with hers too. Her only problem is getting herself to stop with the brake or the back pedal. It will come with time. I will have to get some pictures of my improving cyclists. It has been nice having the free time to let them loose in our alleyway.

Many things coming down the pipe in the next month. In-laws, vacation bible school, B is taking Aidan to Colorado for the in-laws fishing trip, and back to school shopping. I think clothing wise they are set for a while but we will need to get supplies and Aidan a new backpack. Ahh well, much to do and I am stalling avoiding work while Ainsley eats her breakfast. I had better get to it. Later taters!

the Gap has their backpacks and matching lunch boxes on sale. I think they were 30% off.
