God's Wonders

I feel like we often go on with our day to day activities and rarely pause to observe the awesomeness of God's creations.  

I love quiet weekend mornings sitting by my pool and just observing the sounds and sights of nature.  This morning I have an amazing view of the moon.  As I was looking up at it I started to think about what it would be like if it was something I was seeing for the first time; if I had not grown up knowing what it was.  It is so cool that we can see our moon so clearly even though it is so far away.  It is difficult to put words to the feeling but it is a humbling and peaceful feeling.

Then, next to me, my dog is busy being frustrated that there is a frog in our hot tub that she cannot get at.  She knows it is not supposed to be there and wants to grab it more than anything! As much as I love nature, it's also drives me crazy that the frogs always want to go for a swim in our pool!  So gross!!

Hurricane Harvey

It has been years since I last wrote a blog.  I miss it.  While Hurricane Harvey has wrecked havoc on Houston and surrounding areas, it has given me a chance to catch up on things around the house and even attempt a blog post or two! 

I love documenting our every day life so the kids will have the memories to look back on while also sharing my diluted opinions, outlook and experiences of life. 

My children have been good to entertain themselves by throwing toy grenades at each other, riding their bikes in the rain, arguing endlessly, playing games and of course watching way too much tv or playing on their electronic devices way more than should be allowed.   

I've enjoyed pretending I'm a stay-at-home mom and have cooked each meal and even baked desserts.  Aside from playing referee, I could totally get used to this...maybe one day!  I have also enjoyed checking things of my list that I've been wanting to do around the house forever but haven't been able to do the regular insanity of life.  It's been great to be here to make them take time to practice their instruments, read, use their imaginations to play, practice cheer (London), clean up after themselves and practice multiplication (Hudson).  I can wash/fold clothes and clean up the house while I work from home.  So many pluses!  Then we turn on the news and we are reminded of all the devastation taking place just outside of our neighborhood.  So, so sad.
