Well the asthma was terrible all through the night so it made for a difficult today. Everything takes more effort when you can not breath. So I continue to pary for healing and in the mean time medicate.

Sam was challenging as I knew he was lying to me and could not get him to admit it for 2 hours (he is 4 years old). Once he finally did, he was full of repentance and huge tears streamed down his face.

Rebekah was nice as pie as she knew mommy was disappointed with Sam. I guess she just wanted attention and cleaned her room without being told and did an excellent job. I rewarded her with mint chocolate chip icecream. This is the 2nd time I have given her ice cream in her 5 and half years. (Her grandparents well that is a different story...their snow birds so it all works out)

Emma well lets just say, maybe when all the theeth come in she'll be more pleasant. She loves to laugh and does have a sence of humor at 16 months.

I am so blessed with these children. Daily they teach me to die to myself and put their needs before my own. I am grateful for this because it makes life so much easier when I do not feel like this and that needs to get done before the next thing. Reality is, so long as I am teaching my children biblical truths and gaurding their hearts, not much else matters.

I do like a clean house and clean clothes so I do not escape the daily chores...but as I train up my children, they already contribute to the overall oraganization and cleanliness of the home. It is great having 3 little helpers.
