Today was a pretty good day overall.  I had Carter all day today and he was very good.  He LOVES to be outside, and I don't have anything for him to play with outside.  I borrowed a little car for Carter to sit on from the next door neighbor and he liked that.  I'll have to start going to yard sales and see if I can find stuff there for little ones to play with. 

It is so nice to have school over with for another year.  I have been planning for next year but not with much aggression.  I'll take the next month or so off before I start to get back into the books and start preparing.  It's going to be more challenging this year because I now will be homeschooling a 5 year old along with my 8 year old. 

I would like you all to pray for my friend Shannon.  She is such a wonderful, beautiful person who has lived through some pretty awful stuff.  She's able to hold her head up and say a kind word to those she meets.  She called me the other night and asked me if I would do her a favor.  I said of course I would and then she asked me to "teach her the Bible".  I was a little shocked at first but then I realized what an opportunity the Lord had presented to me.  She came over that night and I was able to show her a few things.  Please pray that God will give me wisdom and understanding as I spend time with her.

I talked to my sister again today...yeah!  I missed her while she was relocating.
