mud puddles and a sweet sabbath

Aaaah.  A moment of quiet.


Last night and today have been nice.  I feel energized and refreshed, which is my definition of Sabbath.


Yesterday, after we came back home (we left for an hour while the house was being shown), we decided to play out in the yard for a while.  Shea had a blast.  Jeremy and I played catch with my new baseball mitt while Shea was running around.  After a little bit, I turn to find this (warning, Shea picture overload):

But this doesn't show the part where he is sitting in the mud puddle, throwing rocks in the air and then kneeling down to DRINK the mud. haha.  I didn't grab my camera at that point.  Oh how I love having a son.  And, Shout got all of the mud out.  Actually, his shoes looked brand new afterward.

Last night I was up pretty late planning the music for Sunday (slacker that I am).  I just could not decide on songs!  But in the end, we picked some new ones and Jeremy and I just played music for a while upstairs.  It was really...nice!  I also got to sew for a while, and sorry, I know I have my own sewing blog, but I don't want to post these for a while because its for my sister in law and I don't want anyone discovering it early!   I had SO much fun making these though! At first I was totally worried the coat wouldn't turn out right, but in the end, I was just giddy because it was actually cute!  Wish I had better pictures, but the lighting was not good when I took these.  

I know so many people who are having babies in the upcoming months and I can't wait to churn out a bunch of these!  I am definitely making one for Shea for the spring, too.

Anyway.

Today we had two families over for lunch after church (I made a huge pot of chili and cornbread and it was delicious), and then we had to leave for 30 minutes for a showing (we got called on the way home from work).  I went to Fred Meyer to get stuff to make pizza for dinner, because we have a guy that Jeremy knows from his Prayer group coming over to talk about starting some new ministries downtown.  Busy day, but still relaxing!

And Shea just woke up from his nap, so I better go be a mom now!
