i haven't written in a week, which is why i put off blogging for so long. most days i don't have any profound thoughts or insights. the last week has been busy with living life and hasn't provided much time for reflective thinking. but here's a recap of the week:
tomorrow is sarah's last day of kindergarten. so much has changed in our lives during this year. she's learned to spread her wings a little and i've learned (though it sure hurts) that i can't hold on to her forever and that i can not fix everything. we've learned that not everyone makes good choices through bullies, mean words and misunderstandings. she's learned that not everyone cares about her feelings like mom and dad. i've learned that i can't shelter her from everything.
the separation has been harder on me than her, but it has provided me with some wonderful one on one time with ethan.
ethan turned two, TWO!, on may 14th. i can't believe how much he's grown physically and mentally. for his birthday he got a big boy trike, a t-ball set and a slip and slide. it's been so rainy and wet we haven't had a chance to use the slip and slide yet, but perhaps this weekend we'll break it out.
tonight is sarah's end of the year choir musical. she has a pink feather boa wrapped steering wheel for the performance. so sarah. actually it's ethan too. i have it hidden in the car until we get to church because i know he's going to pitch a fit for it.
i did my last newsletter for the MOPS year. it's kind of sad because i enjoy it so. but i'm excited about my new position and i know that God can use me in other ways just as He can use someone else to do the newsletter. my secret pal was emily and she gave me a gift certificate to louise's. what a great secret pal! i can't wait to go spend it.
summer should prove to be exciting and busy though in a more unstructured way than the school year. i can't wait to have fun with both of my children! and hopefully donald will be able to join us on a few of the days.

Welcome
My life takes the cake has become a catchphrase for me. Dating back to the late 1800s, the expression alludes to being the most outstanding. I've always enjoyed baking, but within the last few years it has really become a preferred favorite pastime. If I have spare time, I am most likely going to be baking and it's usually going to be cakes or cupcakes. So a sentiment of my life takes the cake is an anticipated one by those who know me well.
There is a reason as to why I feel my life takes the cake. It has to do with my Savior. There is an old hymn that sings of counting your many blessings. I could begin by counting my loving husband, my delightful children, my Godly parents, my sweet sister and her family, my health, our home . . . I could begin, but I could never end. For you see, I am blessed beyond man's measure. And that is why . . . my life takes the cake.
