Not good at this...

I am not very good at keeping up with my blog posts.

I have really good intentions, really I do.

They just don't get done in a timely manner.

I even have higher expectations for those blogs that I read on a consistent basis - I almost get upset when there is not a new post in a while. I need to be better.

I am so glad that God forgives me when I don't communicate with Him in a while. I know He must greive when I am distant, or a I don't "post" a prayer in a while. I am, after all, still a sinner, but I am saved by grace and when I come to Him, no matter if it has been an hour, a day, a week, or a month, He welcomes me back with open arms and rejoices! Have you been in contact with God recently? Go to Him and let Him hold you and rejoice over you!

Boy - that certainly didn't go how I thought it would when I sat down to catch up. Where did that come from? Thank you God for lessons you teach me everyday!

Here is the update I sat down to write.

We spent the holidays in Texas. What a wonderful time with family. M got to shoot his first buck while we were at the ranch. Talk about excited!!!!!

We came home to a little bit of snow on the ground - Oklahoma had record snowfall on Christmas Eve - and cold temps. At the end of January, we got another winter storm, with ice and snow. The kids had a great few days off school and playing in the snow.

We had the privelege of going on a couple of short trips. In February, we went with 2 other couples, the Burts and Bradleys, to Beavers Bend, OK. We rented a cabin, if you want to call it that, for the weekend. The cabin was fabulous. Fireplace, hot tub, beautiful kitchen, and off the beaten path.

For Spring Break, we went camping in the Arbuckle mountains in Oklahoma. We had a couple of beautiful days full of hiking and bike riding. On Friday night, another Oklahoma winter storm blew in and we woke up Saturday morning to sleet and snow. We decided then to pack it in a day early and we came home. Who knew that a winter storm would disrupt our spring break?

We have certainly enjoyed spring this year, after a long and cold winter (at least for OK). Easter was amazing and we were blessed to celebrate our Risen Lord and Saviour with our precious church family.

Last week, I took both boys to get their eyes checked for the first time. M was fine, but we discovered that G needed glasses. (I kind of suspected this, since he had been having lots of headaches.) He looks very handsome indeed.

Okay, once again I am going to pledge to do better about posting in the future. I sure would love to hear from you!
