yesterday was monumental for several reasons. first, because i woke up in the wee hours of the morning to the sound of rain! we haven't had the wet stuff around here in ever so long! thank you, Lord, for being merciful and sending rain on the just and the unjust!
second of all, i went shopping for baby diapers, something that also has not happened in a very long time. i plan to use cloth, and would love to try my hand at making my own. i'm just trying to figure out what all is needed to undertake such a task. i used the old fashion prefold cloth ones with the kids a few times, but never stuck with it. if i can find a good pattern, i don't think it would be too difficult to make some Bum Genius-like diapers. the biggest challenge is where to find the right materials for them.
we got in the majority of our school books yesterday. Margaret is ready to start schooling right away. we might start early since it will probably take us most of the year, but i still have a lot of planning to do before i am ready to dive in.
i took the kids to the downtown Y yesterday for a swim in their indoor pools. that's the first time we've been there this summer, so all the kids had to do the swim test again. even John passed, which was another thing to celebrate yesterday. he's finally able to swim across the deep pool!
i've been reading this book my mom loaned me called Effortless Change by Andrew Wommack (i think that's his name). i don't know anything about this guy, but the book has really motivated me to spend my time in meditation on Scripture. i've been using my morning walk time to memorizee Philippians. i feel so washed in the Word and more prepared for the day after that hour or so i spend turning over the Words of the Lord.
i can't believe that June is swiftly coming to a close! my how time flies!
