So…..yeah, I’ve been a little busy….

 

Here a little……..

there a little….

Everyone's a little……….

 

 

My dear sweet Kelly, my #3, got her driver’s license on Friday and this crunchy experience on Saturday. THANK HEAVENS there were no injuries (other than metal and plastic ones…..we told the younger children that the van is “in a better place”) and she is alright. It could have been so much worse and she learned how quickly things can happen and that it doesn’t have to be a high speed chase to do serious car damage. The mama is okay too—I felt a little like this at first..

……but am doing much better. Sorry for the poor quality of photos---they are from my cell, and the one of the 2 girls was taken while they were watching “The Knowing”---really. I will be doing a better update soon. Hope all 10 of you who still check my blog are healthy and happy---I need to do some catching up!

Flashback Friday

This is a trip my parents took our young women’s group at church on around when I was in Jr. High. I don’t remember a lot about the trip but I wanted to put it in my journal for the simple reason that around 4th grade

I started feeling like I was fat and very unattractive.

I look at pictures like this and realize how wrong I was! How could my perspective be soooo off??!! I mean I wasn’t a stick or gorgeous but I still don’t look like how I remember myself. Perspective is a powerful thing. I hope with all my heart that I have helped my children have a healthy perspective about their looks and life in general. I also hope that they have learned that how they treat others can affect how those people feel about themselves.
On the lighter side—dig those polyester shorts and mullet hairdo baby!! Have a great Friday!
