What to do, what to dooo....

I've been thinking about this blogging thing, and I want to keep it up...


Something that excites me is reading, so I was inspired by this blog to post what I am reading.

At the moment, I am reading:

Romans (I'm on chapter 9! yippeee!)
The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians book 3)

I'm hoping to finish these books and let you know what I think about them. Maybe it will be helpful, and maybe it won't, but at least it will keep me reading the good stuff.

My housewifery skills are coming along, slowly but surely. I mopped the floor today and pretended to be an Olympic curler, so that was fun! "HHHHAAAARRRRDDD!!!!" Today is laundry and anythingIcandowhilethebabyissleeping cleaning day! Yippee!! So, load one is in the dryer, load two is on its way to the washer, and the floor is mopped. Next? Probably lunch. Then, I'll try to clear off my bed from the weekend...

Speaking of, we went to the Sola Gratia conference at Countryside Bible Church in Southlake, Tx. I enjoyed it immensely. We got to hear Richard Phillips, Dr. Russell Moore, and Dr. John Hannah. Dr. Hannah is actually the reason Hubby likes John Owen so much, and that is the reason O got his name!! :) Dr. Hannah's last talk was my favorite. It was how we practially root out sin!!!

Oh no, Little Man is upset... Guess I should have used the blogging time to eat lunch.

Helllooooooo again! I've come to accept the fact that I am a terrrrrrrrrrible blogger. But on the upside, I am becoming a better listener! I've had two recent opportunities to be the listener in a social situation, and I FINALLY found my self really listening and processing what the other person says, and not just thinking of the next thing I am going to say. I'm praying to be a "agent of sharpening" in the lives of the women I'm close to, just as these women are CONSTANTLY sharpening me. And that is a very, very good thing.

On the baby front, we're doing better and better. He's starting to eat real food and he enjoys most of it. He is NOT a fan of peas, and squash is not a fan of him. It seems the "carb-y" foods make his reflux FLAIR up.

I'm learning about being a mom and house wife... Loving my husband, keeping house, raising Owen as the Lord would have me.
