:: Women's Wednesday ~ The Big Reveal! ::

:: Last night was the night for the first official reveal of a new ministry that Lisa B and I have initiated ::

:: It is the third Wednesday of every month @ 7:30 pm in Cafe CLA & we are so excited about it! ::

:: Here is our vision ::
"We desire to touch women's lives through God's word, tangible acts, sincere fellowship and abundant blessings "

:: We are so excited to see this ministry and new wing of the women's ministry @ CLA take off, so come on out our first event is on September 17th ~ We'd love to host you for the night! ::

{So this has been what I have been busy with for the last few months....but it was SO worth it!}

:: Spice it up a little ::

:: Hey YOU! Yes YOU! How are you today? I'm recovering from multiple things that have yet again kept me from writing {more on these fun things later} ::

:: Right now it's "What do you look like RIGHT now?" time - isn't that spicey???? Yeah, okay...not so much, but hey I do what I can! ::

:: So here I am ::

:: This is how I look as I sit at my desk - wading through bills/reciepts and organizing invoices ::

:: This is me sans make-up, hair product and wearing the same top I wore on Sunday, Wednesday afternoon {after I showered @ 2:00 pm} and I am wearing it again today - so there...join in, post a shot of you where you're at right as you are ~ I promise we'll love you anyway ;) ::

:: Hope ya'll are gettin' things done today, cause tomorrow the sun just might be out and then we will be able to run off and do better things like wade in creeks, lay in the sun & read a new book! ::

:: Our Cowboy ::

:: Yesterday @ the YEE HAW Party we did some face painting...Paul got ahold of some face paints and this is the result ::

:: A very mature Jacob - Ha Ha Ha, this gave us quite the laugh! ::

:: Oh Jacob, you are so patient. He just sat there and waited with his eyes closed while Daddy made him look like a real cowboy! ::

:: Madelyne's 4 ::

:: It was a "YEE HAW" Happy Birthday time @ Madelyne's 4th Birthday ::



:: It is unbelievable to watch this little lady grow up ~ we were there when little Miss. M was born and I can't believe it was 4 years ago!!! ::

:: Last night Lisa and I were talking about when we both accepted Jesus as our Lord & Savior & it was when we were both 4 ~ So I look forward to watching as Madelyne chooses to invite Christ into her heart ::

:: Miss. Mo, you have such an exciting year ahead of yourself and we will be right there praying you through every step. We love you SO much! ::

:: I love the plethora of fresh fruit and veggies that we have available to us in the Summer ::

:: One sunday back a few weeks this is what we had for lunch ~ it was SO yummy! ::

:: Hope you are enjoying the fruits of this season as well! ::

:: The Many Faces of Cole ::

:: We have had so much fun with this little guy this Summer. He has such attitude in c0mparison to Jacob ~ he totally cracks us up! ::

:: Oh, Coley how we love you! ::

:: Movie Review: Mamma Mia ::

:: I don't often say this about many movies, but go and see this one...and if you are going - invite me....I would go again in a heartbeat! ::

:: It's not the movie I would typically go see but with the cast of characters, I couldn't go wrong! ::

:: So many great moments & little idiosyncrasies, that just get you from the start - So fun! ::

:: Thanks Mom for taking me to it and thanks to all the ladies that sang my ear off throughout the movie. I had a blast! ::

:: My Current Read ::

:: In case you are interested in what I am currently reading - here it is, the first in a series from Karen Kingsbury ::

:: My girlfriend Laura let me borrow a whole shwack of her Christian romance novels and it's proving to be a good one. I started it on Sunday and I'm already almost 3/4 of the way through :::: I'm not sure if I like her as much as Francine Rivers - but her writing is growing on me. I'm a suck for a good story! Especially when I'm sitting outside enjoying the sun, pretending my feet are in something other than a kiddie-pool! ::

:: Sailing away...::

:: Hello to all of you that read this, and SO sorry for not blogging more! My life is sailing away before my eyes ::

:: I am happy to report that we have found our groove again in the L household and we are no longer going to kill each other (that would be now that Paul has a private (aka: away from me and kids) office) ::

:: The next few weeks holds lots of fun and lots of work, so I will post when I can but I'm not promising anything! ::

:: I have to say that I am back in my groove of a few other things...running, yes I am MAKING time to run again and reading - both things I love but don't often make time for! So I have now made the choice that NOW is the time! ::

:: I'm off to enjoy a veggie & chicken dinner created by my lovely man and then maybe off to a show later -- if I get my run in, if I don't I can't go. That's the rule! ::

:: Have a great one ya'll ~ I know I will! ::

:: A Guest @ Our Place ::

:: We have accepted an exchange student from Japan for the next two weeks. She arrives tonight and will be staying in Cole's room {He's now bunked up with us, which Paul loves!} ::

:: We moved the crib into our room and moved my old bed {the only bed I had after my crib and before my marriage bed} into Cole's room an voila...it's now a lovely room that looks quite girlie! ::

:: Welcome to Canada Momoko {aka: Peachy - that's her English name..isn't it great!?!?} we look forward to having you experience all that Vancouver has to offer! ::
