Jun. 22, 2009 - Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today...

Outside my window... the rain is falling

I am thinking...  of what I am making for dinner

From the learning rooms... we are in summer mode and enjoying it.

I am thankful for... my husband who is so wonderful

From the kitchen... cooked all weekend, so fun salads tonight

I am wearing... Aqua (my new favorite color)

I am reading... The Circle Trilogy by Ted Dekker

I am hoping... that my mother law gets to visit soon (I really love her!)

I am creating...  plans for our new house

I am praying... for my husband and children

Around the house... needs a "summer" clean up and sorting

One of my favorite things... morning coffee with my sweetie

A few plans for the rest of the week... go through the kids rooms and menu plan for next week/month

Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you...

these are our new babies! QUAIL  I love to here them Peep.
