A week later

Hope that the week has went well. We have enjoyed the past week and weekend. We were able to celebrate our second daughter's birthday with the girls' friends. She chooses BOWLING. Everyone, even our son, had a great time. It is awesome to see how our girls and their friends work with our son. We are blessed. Then we had basketball and sickness for the rest of the weekend. Actually there are no complaints as my husband had a younger boys' basketball tourney on Saturday and a Special Olympics basketball tourney on Sunday. Thankfully those of us that needed to stay home did and the rest went to watch basketball. We do love basketball in our family. We were thankful for no girls' tourney this past weekend. Then Monday arrived and we were off to school and the start of 2nd Semester. The day went well even though I was stressed due to schedules. It taught me to go to Him right away instead of trying to figure things out on my own. Now that leads me into this week. Struggling a little as our Home Study should be done soon. The wait is challenging. I was hoping to get news today that it was completed, but we can wait until Thursday or next week. I need to keep remembering that it is His timing, not mine or ours! So today we enjoyed the day being off because of ice. We were given the gift of time today - true blessing as long as it is used correctly in my opinion. As a family, we went to town as we missed the "no school" call and thought that we had only a "2 hour late". Honestly it was a blessing. The kids and I played in the gym as we were at school anyway and my husband got most of his grades done for last semester. So we accomplished things at school and ran some errands. Then this afternoon we, as a family, watched the "Dukes of Hazards" series. We have the seasons and are huge fans. My husband and I went for a walk in the woods and just enjoyed being outside and together. So this evening we played games and now are ready for some quiet before tomorrow. See all of the blessings and didn't think much about the Home Study. God is good and the day was good too. Hope that you, readers, have had a good weekend, start to the week or that this week is great. Next post, we hope, will share the news about our Home Study or maybe it's not in His timing yet:)
