Random Thoughts

We had a great Valentine's Day. Edgar and I don't go out on many dates--rarely leave the kids, or should I say Ryan, with anyone. But this year we did, and we had a great time. Amanda, my personal assistant (I love that) came over to sit with Ryan because Rachel was working and we went to dinner at a great little place in Vickory Creek area, Atkins Park. We enjoyed some good food and good to talk without correcting a child's dinner manners. After dinner we went to a play at the Cumming Playhouse, Neil Simon's Last of the Red Hot Lovers. It is an old play, but very funny and the actors did a great job. It was fun to go out together and know that the kids were in good hands

Friday morning Amanda and I visited the Montessori Academy at Sharon Springs. Taffy and I had seen the school last fall when we did our little market research of area schools and childcare centers, but did not have the opportunity to observe classes in session. Amanda is an education major and personally believe that any college student who plans to teach should at least be exposed to good Montessori. It was a great observation and she was certainly impressed.

Last night we enjoyed good food and great company when one of the family's from church came over for dinner. We ate and laughed and all had fun, even the kids. I am so grateful to have a home where we can entertain comfortably. It doesn't have to be fancy but we really enjoy having people over.

Today Edgar was determined to clean out the garage--we got through several more boxes. Maybe by the time spring arrives and the weather warms up we will be able to fit the van in the garage!! He is happy to put boxes on shelvers where I would prefer to have them unpacked and put away. In this great big house we still can't find room for all our stuff, I know, I know--we have too much stuff, but it is good stuff!!

Tonight Ryan's cousins and our good friends are coming over and we will grill out and he will fix our two PC's. Yes, we do love our apple computers, but the kids still have PCs and yes they are always breaking. Tomorrow we will go to our favorite church, Brown's Bridge Community Church where we will worship and serve. We also have some friends coming for the first time, so I am excited.

Hope you all have a great weekend and an awesome time of worship tomorrow where ever you may be! We are so blessed to be able to worship our Living God freely. May we not ever take this for granted.
