one three o

* being able to read in the car on our way to the lake...not getting carsick is amazing!

* having a grand ole time on the waverunner on the lake with no one around...oh, the memories of past times on the waverunner w/ the fam!!

* feeling the spray of the water on my face and arms...amazing!

* a shower to get off the sunscreen and lake...LOVE the clean feeling!!

* getting stranded on the waverunner in the cove and not the middle of the LAKE!!

So here's the story to go w/ this one: After taking the waverunner out for my final spin (tear!), I drove back into the cove and Grandaddy gave me the sign that he was on his way down to the ramp to load up the waverunner. At first, I was just waiting around with the motor on and finally was like, I might as well turn it off and save some gas. WELL, little did I know, that it would not start back up again!! [And in my defense, it was a battery problem, not because I ran out of gas! :)] SO, I had to swim and pull the waverunner back to the dock - man, was this hard work...GD hopped into the water at the end and helped me pull it to the ramp then and we loaded it on ... oh what an adventure. I'm soo glad this didn't happen in the middle of the lake though! No one was out on the lake (which was great for me, but could have been bad for being stuck out there!)... and I even turned off the engine once to get in the water - thank the Lord, it turned back on!!!! This has been adventures with Keeping up with the Kidd ... hope you enjoyed my 130th day of GST! :D lol

10 Months

Baby Z is ten months today.  She's moving into toddlerhood and out of babyness...boo hoo....She's starting to have her own little will and get angry when things don't go her way.  She's realized she can make us laugh.  She loves watching little kids and squeals with delight.  Stroller rides are a favorite and also nice for a little snooze at times.  Cheerios are another favorite {she's a great eater, just not a good drinker}.  Sleeping through the night is almost an everyday occurrence {PTL!}!  Her sleeping postions are always quite amusing...you never know how you will find her.  She's incredibly curious and loves getting into things {empty boxes, laundry baskets, bags, etc is highly entertaining}.  If a cellphone or computer are somewhere near her, she doesn't waste any time getting to them.  She has so much energy.  Naps are kept short, often a half hour, if I'm lucky an hour.  I'm so thankful for this sweet, little, energy bundle.  I look forwa

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how they didn't
