Things are going to get brighter

Yay! Mom commented! I know that she's been reading this, but to have a comment from her is just AWESOME!!

Also, I just went outside and one of my neighbors brought our trash cans back up to the house. What a sweet thing to do!

And, I do have to admit, I feel like the Lord has been watching over me in my time of need. The first day back from our MLK weekend trip, my back was really, really bad (word of advice...if your back hurts, don't go on a road trip if you can help it). My Visiting Teacher came by and cleaned up my kitchen and one of my friends readily watched my kids so I could get an adjustment at the chiropractor.

And it really helps that my kids haven't been in each other's throats as frequently and I've successfully helped squall Dylan's squeals (not the delightful kind, just the alliterate kind).

I just keep thinking about that Seminary-favorite poem, Footprints in the Sand. I really shouldn't complain. I've been so lucky to get so much help and have so many prayers answered and feel so much love from so many people.

Apologies. I haven't blogged about what we've been doing or stuff like that because all of my pictures are on Rob's laptop...and I really don't get around to using it that often. And confessions...I haven't been taking very many pictures lately. :) But I do want to be better about posting because I don't write in my journal much. Using Blurb and turning this into a journal/photo/book is very tempting. I just need to document our lives a little better!

Someday, when I finally get around to painting the boys' room, I will post an "after" picture!
