OK - so I am way new to this blogging thing. I have never been the type of person to journal or publish my thoughts - but after seeing so many people's amazing chronicles I thought I would at lest give it a shot. I don't claim to be too creative or witty or even interesting...but at the very least this will be a way for me to capture the crazy, fun and chaotic life we have with 2 kids. Maybe it will also give me a chance to reflect a little bit on life and how good God is to us...
so...here goes....
Today is a rainy and gloomy day - it's definitely turning into fall and our amazing summer days by the beach are over for this year....just last week we could walk down the ragged path at the end of our block to the beach and play in the water at 5pm....hard to beat that!
Tomorrow is Halloween and I think this is probably the last year for Cami that we can mostly blow it off and scrape together a 'costume' last minute for our Harvest night at church. She still doesn't get all that excited about halloween ( which isnt a bad thing). Aidan may end up being a pumpkin...if we can find cam's old pumpkin costume...otherwise we'll chalk it up to....'hey - he's 10 months old....he does care if he's in a costume - so neither do we!'
We had a good summer - moved to a new house, spent about 2 weeks in Cape May with my parents, sent Cam off to preschool (not as simple as it may sound), watched our baby start to become a little boy,....mostly just fun stuff. I guess if I had to describe 2008 so far its pretty much been fairly smooth sailing. Which is always a little scary for me because when everyting is going just fine I tend to start thinking that's because WE are running things right - WE are doing a good job- WE are holding it all together....... and its usually somewhere after that that things start to go haywire and I am reminded that it not US running things at all - it's God who has given us a time of blessing and we can expect that at some point the road will get a bit rocky. If for no other reason than to remind us that He is in control - not us, that we need to be thankful for everyday that goes well, that when we do suffer it is to make us more like Him and to bring glory to His name, and that we need to always be ready for rougher times. So, I guess maybe that's my take home point from today....I need to go get ready........
