So, what's new in our house? Well, Caleb is now in full-blown walking mode. It is SO fun. Everyone warned me that it was going to get ridiculous, but so far, we've been able to keep him under control. Lately when I say "Come to Mom, Caleb" he throws himself to the floor and looks like he's giving up on life... (am I THAT bad?!) It's pretty funny to watch, but then I remember that it's disobedience and must be dealt with. Discipline is hard (but necessary). I'm learning that over and over again....
Speaking of discipline... I'm currently reading a book by Anne Ortlund called "Disciplines of the Beautiful Woman". It's quite good so far. Consider reading it.
I'll give another shout out while I'm at it. Reviveourhearts.com is amazing. Currently, Nancy Leigh DeMoss is doing a series called "Entrusted with a Child's Heart." I haven't been keeping up on it every day, but I hope to catch up soon. This website always has extremely practical, gospel centered programs that really have changed my life. So, whether you're single, married, childless, or have children, this website is for you =). You can go to the resource library and find topics that interest you as well. COOL HUH!?
This week is the Stephenson county fair. Too bad I didn't enter my zucchini. Seriously. Check out the one on the left-- it's like a honking baseball bat!! I don't think this picture does it justice.
For kicks, I will leave you with a delicious recipe that has zucchini in it..... you know, because I have LOTS of zucchini, and maybe you do too.

Oh, how silly of me, we need to have some Bible trivia before I go....
Question: Who did the earth swallow up?

haha! Amanda made us that recipe when she was here...it was delish! Only problem was that we couldn't find the red pepper flakes so she used some dried red cayenne peppers that she ground and then it was SUPER SPICY. I still ate though because it tasted so good even though it was so spicy! haha!
ReplyDeleteooh, ooh, the priests sons... can't remember their names. Better go look it up!

If you like zucchini check out allrecipes.com and look for blueberry zucchini bread and zucchini brownies. They are both really good.
