Today was our communities CROPWALK! The girls have been talking about it for weeks now and today was the day. Today was the wet, rainy, thundering, lightening, damp, humid day! But we still walked. WHY?? Well, we walk because they walk. We want to assist people in becoming aware of the global as well as local needs that our world has. So we were fortunate that Tom, a friend from church, brought an extra golf umbrella (extra extra big umbrella) for us to use. Regardless, I still looked like a drowned rat, but oh well, it's for a great cause!

So anyway, we walked 5K. Pretty good I think for being a wet, rainy, thundering, lightening, damp, humid day! The girls didn't start petering out until about 1/4 - 1/2 mile home and then Bayat got a piggy back ride by Tom. Yes, the one who brought the extra big umbrella. So extra fun for her. Tom looked at if from the perspective of getting a weight training workout! I just wasn't willing to pick her up, I already had two kids rain jackets as well as my own soaked and heavy coat, oh yea, and an umbrella!! :-) So we raised some money for a good cause, walked in the rain and I think Bond's beard will safely remain on his face. (Yes, this year's challenge was if the congregation raised enough money he would shave his beard!) And no, he didn't confer with me first :-)

Have a good monday~ Peace, Lori's fancy signature

Friday, Good Friday

















It's Good Friday and this is the girls first Easter! Oh such explaining to do!

Why is it Good Friday when Jesus dies?
Will he come back from the sky on Easter?
What is the last supper?
The list goes on and on, and I'm sure as we enter and leave the vigil tomorrow night, we will encounter more questions!!

I'm thankful that my girls know about Jesus, have some understanding, are curious and want to know. It's hard to explain at times, but we try.

Thrilling Thursday

Sorry, no real pictures to post about todays events!! So the "thrilling" event of the day is that I cleaned my 'study/office' area!! WOW, I know you are thinking, "So what, she cleaned her study/office area!! Whoopie!!!! Well, I have come to realize that there are lots of things that take a back seat when you have kids! And that is balancing the checkbook and being anal about other things in your life that you used to have time for!! So, I'm still adjusting!! And that's OK!! Yes, I'm talking to myself!! And there are days for that too!!

So I actually vacuumed my carpet and rearranged and you can see the bottom of my desk!! It's a really cool thing! REALLY!! REALLY COOL!!

So now, it's balancing the checkbook!! I'm just happy I'm not as behind as I was yesterday :-) HA!

Well, that's all for now folks!! Until Friday!!
