Behind and little update.

I have gotten very behind as far as my online stuff goes. I am having to do a mass delete as far as emails go, and I haven't worked on any of my online bible studies. I am hoping to get back to everything in the next week or so. I am looking forward to doing more of The Wifes Biblical Submission study. I have missed it.

Nothing major has been going on around here. Scott and I continue to work on our relationship. We are not perfect but try hard to learn from our mistakes. We are using ourselves as an example to the kids. Reminding them tha teven grown-up make mistakes and all you can do it confess them to one another and God, and ask fro forgiveness, then do better next time. Isn't that how we all grow?

We have been spending a lot of quality time with the kids (anyone with older kids knows how difficult it is to have everyone home at once, they all start having their own interests). We have set up some new ideas in our house to insure that everyone is together in the same room for a little while instead of everyone doing their own thing in their rooms. To be honest that drives me crazy. Everyone hangs out alone in their room unless it is dinner time. Of course when we impliment our plans they act like it is going to kill them, but everyone always ends up havign a good time. Scott made the comment that he understands that protesting family time at their age is a requirment, but we told that we know deep down they want to do it and ALWAYS have fun no matter how much protesting they do!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week. Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just around the corner? I guess I need to start planning my Christmas shopping, not looking forward to that :)

I know Thanksgiving is coming too fast for me. Christmas will be here soon. I'm enjoying Sunny's study. I'm new at it. God bless you, Doylen

Hello sweet sister!

So good to "see" you again! We've missed you, but I'm so delighted to hear how wonderfully our awesome God is working in your family.

We have two teenage sons, and yes, family times are surely a MUST! We absolutely cherish them! I know you do too!

Bless you sweet sister,
Sunny
