The admonition of Paul

"...I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound; every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

Philip. 4: 11-13

He's a pretty smart guy, that Paul.

It shouldn't be too hard to be content in my state.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Farm Livin' is the life for me

So the other day I'm running late for my Zumba class, thinking about why I could possibly have so few people in my classes and whether I really should be stressed about being late.  What am I doing wrong? Then I get to a road block...

I'm pretty sure if I want to teach a class with 100 people who love to latin dance, I'm living in the wrong town. Thank you cows for the reminder.

And what would a blog post be without the kids that make my farm house a home?

New old pics

Back in September when my SIL Amy was here and took family pictures, she also took a bunch of other pictures that I didn't see until today.  These were among them :) Aren't they cute? And oh how I wish it was still warm enough to lay them in the grass...

Can you tell which one is which yet?

Too much

I should probably just focus my attention on one young adult fiction book to movie adaptation at a time.  But if you're more into Hunger Games you need to watch this! I almost cried watching it.  Because I'm a nerd.  And because it looks really good. I'm just happy I know how the movie will end or I don't think I could take it.

Latest craft day creations

I got this "hand turkey" idea from Blue's clues :) The idea is to make a little book and on each page you put something your thankful for.  But Jade just put a stamp on each page.

In this video, Aaron was trying to catch the boys holding hands and giggling, which you can see for about a second.  And then Calder and Aaron spend the rest of the time trying to get Everest interested again in all the fun they were having.

The countdown begins

Yes, you know which countdown I mean.




We're (I mean I'm...) budgeting for this one this month.  Twice.

PS. If you're looking at my blog right now, with the intention of checking your email and updating your facebook status after, then maybe you need to listen to this talk.  I know I did. Now, off to do something important.
