Okay everyone.  I am still here.  I have posted several times over the past few weeks but have lost every post I have written.  There is so much I want to share but some of it I just plain can't remember now.   But here goes another try.

Things are going well with us.  We are finishing the final touches on getting things settled in the new house.  School is going well.  One of my big news items is we have found a wonderful church family in our new city.  It has been so exciting to be attending this church and on Sunday, I joined.  Of course, DH cannot join since he is a minister in our denomination.  But he is as welcomed as DS and I are.  We love our new church.  The people are warm and welcoming.  The vision the pastor has is wonderful and I am glad and excited to be a part of watching God work through him. 

We have been busy building lots of memories for DS for when DH leaves.  They have been lots of fun, too.  It is amazing to watch "my men" together.  I will try to post some pictures.

Painting with Daddy

It has been fun to watch DS changing and growing into this sweet young man with a heart for the Lord and a desire to be a lot like his Daddy. 

If I haven't mentioned before I have an awesome husband.  It doesn't matter how tired he is when coming in from work he is always ready to spend time with DS.  Take last night for instance.  There has been a lot going on in his unit and this week has been particularly tough.  He hasn't gotten home before 9 pm for a few nights.  Last night was no exception.  But he came in and immediately went to DS's room and read to him.  That he loves us so much to selflessly give of himself like that teaches me alot about God and it doesn't escape DS's notice either. 

Let's see.  What else has been happening I have wanted to share....I guess that I am still loving homeschooling, loving being a military wife...most days.   

Oh, I guess one thing is that since I have not been able to update my sidebar or anything like that, let me share with you that if you have not read The Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis, you need to.  I am reading it now and have I been challenged in ways I never expected.  I hope to share some of what the Lord has shown me through this book in the days to come.  But if you haven't read it, do pick it up.  Trust me, it is well worth your time.

Well let's see if this will post.  If so, then you will know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth.  Then perhaps I can get some more posts out there on those things I have desired to share recently. 

Continue to pray for our troops and their families.  The need is great and they need our prayers.  Remember our country and our leaders in prayer as well.
