At the Old Homestead

Today I am spending at my parent's house, filling in for mom babysitting the kids and taking care of the dogs while she's in Nashville. It's been a pretty good day, except for the dog pooping in the LR this morning, and the fact that the heat isn't working! But other than that, it's kinda boring. I could clean, but I don't want to. Maybe if Asher goes down for a nap. Anyway, the weekend was cool; getting to see nephew Luke dedicated at church. I think I teared up as they talked about raising him to be a Godly man...so neat. My other nephew was also dedicated on Sunday. Mom was there to witness that. I'm so thankful for siblings who are following the Lord and to see them promise together to raise their son to be a follower of Jesus. And it's so cool that we're going through this whole parenting thing together. It's really bringing us closer too and I love that.
Well Asher's upstairs on the Johnny Jumper so I should go check on him.

Saturday Mornings

There's nothing like sleeping in on a Saturday morning...Jeremy didn't have to get up early and go to school...Asher woke up early but went back to sleep...and then...dum dum dum...Asher wakes up with an explosion in his diaper. So we began our day giving Asher a bath! That was quite exciting. But now we've all eaten breakfast and it's time to plan our day. Our neice was supposed to come over to jump on the trampoline but it's kinda dreary and wet outside so I don't know if that will work or not. Oh well...whatever happens, it's just nice to have a day at home together as a family. I guess I should add some pics to make this blog a little more interesting. So here they are. This is what Asher has been doing lately. Forget all the toys he has to play with... He'd rather pull himself up and stand! One more picture...a few weeks ago we dedicated our son, Asher Joel, to the Lord, renewing our commitment in marriage to each other, and promising to raise Asher in the ways of God our Father. Asher Joel means, "Happy and Blessed for Jehovah is my God." This is our hope and prayer for him! Here is a picture of Asher all spiffed up and ready for his dedication at church! Here's a video or two to show Asher's other tricks of late...

Uh...ok

Hi. I'm starting this blog but I'm not going to tell anyone about it yet. This is all kinda new to me. I've been reading my sister's blog and watching her tell all and be really deep about things in life. I'm a deep person but I'm not sure I'm ready to start writing my innermost feelings or even my everyday doings to the unknown in cyberspace just yet. We'll see how comfortable I get with this.

I like the title of this blog site because we don't really have any adventures. We might like to but we don't have any money to go anywhere. But hey, life in itself is an adventure. And Steven Curtis Chapman said that the Christian life is THE GREAT ADVENTURE (yeah yeah). And now we're parents and I know that is and will continue to be an adventure. So, I guess, in a way, we do have adventures.

Ok, I'm warming up to this writing thing. I don't write a whole lot anymore. I used to write in a journal, but man....typing is so much easier!

Well I'm still kinda confused because of my dreams last night. Before I went to sleep I watched this show about a couple having sextuplets. Four of them survived. They were so small! Anyway, I dreamt that I was in labor having babies, but we were far away from the hospital and had to go to this weird place really far away from home. And I had, like two babies, but then there was one more in there and no one would help me deliver. There was more but very strange...as dreams are.

So today the adventure was in my dream...let's see what adventures the rest of the day brings...

PS The time at the bottom is off...I did not get up and create this blog at 7:40 am!
