About Me

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Kindergarten and Fair!

For the first time since moving to Nebraska, we were in town for the Holt County Fair! I have never been able to display anything at a fair before, so I decided now was as good a time as any! When the girls get old enough, they will be involved with 4H... but that is a few years down the road still. So I put 4 pictures in the fair. A church, a skunk, a cowboy and a "blushing bride"! They all won ribbons! The skunk won a blue ribbon and the rest won a purple. Purple, I think, meant just like an honorable mention. But I did get a prize for my blue ribbon skunk! Fun!

Haydn officially started her Kindergarten year on the 16th! She gets to ride the bus to school and back. She was so excited and still is! She is growing up so fast! Weldon started on the 20th and was very happy to get back to his friends and favorite teachers!
