OK...it's about time to start working on the blog again.  Summer is coming to an end-the activities are (finally) over and we actual have a few weeks to relax-maybe do some things we didn't get to as a family.  A few things that have happened this summer:

A: Has learned to ride a bike without training wheels, made friends of her own, and has progressed in writing her name, numbers, and other letters. 

T: Has learned to swim, honed some of her soccer skills, and lost another (total now is 7) tooth.

Both: have GROWN!!!  I will be buying a lot of 'new' clothes this fall.  It's hard to see my babies growning up into women.  T has already stretched me...I'm starting to fear the teen years...and she's only 7. 

I will be trying to get here more often now...I have a schedule set up.  I just hope I can stick to it better than the whole D-clutter the house this summer plan.  What a bust!   I do want to get organized and uncluttered but I feel I fail a lot.  So I will be seeking God more.  I know He has put this all into my heart and it has been weighing on me a lot (more so) lately. 

I am going to list a few goals:

1. D-clutter the house 

2. Loose about 35 pounds

3. Stick to the schedule-life should be easier

4. Look at things more positively

5. Treat my family with more kindness

Is 5 too much to work on at one time?  I guess I will find out.  Any prayers for this struggling mom would be welcomed!!
