Ladies Craft Weekend Invitation to You!

I'm starting to plan a Ladies Craft Weekend at my house July 30-August 1. Derek is taking the kids camping so I will have the house to myself for the weekend. I plan to try to get caught up on the kids scrapbooks. A couple ladies are already planning on joining me for the weekend and I figure, the more the merrier.

So if you need a weekend or a day or even just a few hours to yourself consider joining us. You can bring whatever crafts you'd like or if you don't like crafts you are welcome to just come hang out.

As the weekend gets closer I'll figure out more details. Please drop me a line if you are interested and I'll make sure to let you know once we'd got more information.

"You Are" by Kaylee

My lovely daughter just gave me this original poem to read. I think its amazing. She gave me permission to share it with all of you.

Father, you are beautiful.
I see you in my daisy patch.
Your face is in my bouquet of smiles.

God, you are magnificent.
I feel your power in the storm.
Majesty is in your purple electric heavens.

Lord, you are forever King.
I hear your commands and know where they belong.
Life is just a prequel to my true beginning... or end.

Christ, you are sacrifice.
I smell your painful, saving scent.
You gave your last breath so I could speak your words to the end of the earth.

My Jesus, you are risen!
I taste freedom in your life!
You tore the veil, now forever you are with me, dancing in my heart and singing in my mind.

Another glimpse into Homeschooling

Kaylee just sent me a text:

"I know how to say 'there is an empty box of fruit snacks on my head' in Spanish!"

"hay una caja vacia de bocadillos de fruta en la cabeza".

I responded:

"That might be useful someday."

She responded:

"It's useful right now. Max just put an empty box of fruit snacks on Dad's head."
