In Which I am Grateful for My Friends

Ironically, I have been more socially active during my period of bed rest than any average month in the life of...!

(Let me pause here to say a big "Thank You!" to my friends who have made the trek north to sit and brainstorm with me and bring me great reading material!! And let me also say an even bigger "Thank You" to my mom who has graciously put up with me having company at her house, which I know is more challenging for her than it is for me!)

It has been such a joy to get my mind off of the work drama and the baby drama, and focus on some creative ministry opportunities, while also reconnecting with some women whom I truly find amazing.  I feel absolutely blessed to serve with them and really excited about some of the things we have been planning!

With so much going on personally, I feel like I really don't know and can't even speculate about what the summer and fall are going to look like. But through meeting with these women, I feel like God has reminded me that He is in control and that good things are coming.  In all things, He will be glorified and we will be blessed!

    I think I like this whole bed rest thing. You write a lot more, which I of course love reading!

    Have I told you lately what an amazing mother you are? I've always known you make a wonderful daughter...and it is fun watching you be a great mom! Now I must go and read to my precious granddaughter!

A Day in Jaime's Homeschool (ages 10, 6, and 4)

Our days in this season of life follow a very relaxed structure. Each day has such very different demands. While I would prefer to go with the flow, whatever that may be, my kids prefer a more defined plan. They like to know what to expect at any given moment. So our daily rhythm falls somewhere between these two extremes.  My day starts between 6:30 and 7:00 AM with coffee and my Bible. I love connecting through Hello Mornings because of its grace based approach to starting my day in submission to the Lord. Through accountability, community, and Bible study I get that flexible structure I need - a big theme in my life right now! My "early riser" (the four year old) will often join me on the couch while I read. My husband makes breakfast while I enjoy a second cup of coffee and supervise morning chores. By 9 AM he is out the door to work (except when he's not...because that would be too easy.) At this point I give my kids a warning that we will start our school day at 9...

In Which We March On

March comes in a like a lion, what else? Still the snow, never melts! (If you're singing along to Seven Brides...you're right!) Where did that saying come from anyone? I get it. February was so mild, it felt more like spring than winter. Then just before spring actually arrives we get our only significant snow of the season! We had a great overnight snowfall, a real snow day, the kind where everything actually closes (my favorite!). Everything should have closed the next day too because of the winds and the drifts. Downright dangerous! But we made it through, alright. Aside from the weather, March was a whirlwind of activity. Grayson's sixth birthday, Jonah opened at Sight and Sound, Piercing Word/King's Kid's rehearsals, and Ray's birthday all kept me pretty busy. We have one more week to go during which we have Madi's birthday celebration for her preschool class (her birthday is in June - don't ask), Brooklyn's Broadway Studio showcase, our...

In Which I Reminisce

We have entered into birthday season and I am lost somewhere along memory lane. This evening I came across this gem from my blog, written five years ago: "Where do you see yourself in five years?  Isn't that a strange question to ponder? My life today is so drastically different from where we were  one  year ago, I can't even begin to imagine what five years might be. Brooklyn will be 11.  ELEVEN!!  Jr high! Puberty!! Grayson will be six, and tiny, newborn Madi will be five. So hard to imagine! I can only hope that Ray will be working steadily as an actor, earning enough to cover our bills, and that I will be coordinating multiple classes and shows for CYT Smyrna which by then will be boasting enrollment numbers in the hundreds and a staff of more than two. I can dream." Well here we are...five years later! Grayson IS six. Brooklyn and Madi are on their way to 11 and 5. Ray IS working full time as an actor, covering our bills, and I am living m...
