struggle

some days it just seems as if nothing will go right. from the minute i get up in the morning, things go awry. trip on toys on the way to the bathroom. spill milk while getting cereal ready for the kids. little things. somehow all these little things turn into one really crabby mom. why do i let stuff bother me? i have decided that i need to make more of an effort to start my day off right - and that means giving it all to God the moment i wake up. it may be a struggle but all things are possible through HIM.

Christmas!

Today we are putting up our Christmas tree. How exciting! Bennett has been asking for awhile now. I am hoping all the lights work. It is always fun at Christmastime. I am looking forward to good food and family gatherings. Yay!

hope

The Minnesota Twins are amazing at coming back late in the game. I just hope they can keep at it and beat the Yankees. It will be hard without Morneau. But they have given all of us fans a reason to hope.

Seems summer has come and gone and now fall is upon us again. Bennett is enjoying preschool very much. He looks forward to it, which is a relief considering he won't even go by himself to the children's message at church. He has a really good pal, Dawson Rieck, whom he plays with there. I am glad he has a friend who will be with him in Kindergarten next year as well.

I have been craving soup lately and tried a new recipe called Chicken Tomato Bisque. It was pretty good. Next to try is chickpea and pasta soup. Mmmm.
