Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
We had a great weekend. My sister Jennifer, her husband Tim and their children June and Willem came out for a visit. Justin & Tim were busy all day picking up free fire wood while Jen & I played with the kids inside on a rainy day. June kept the babies well stimulated. She's a crack up, that kid!
This morning I woke up to my husband getting ready for work. Once he left, I contemplated waking Eli up for breakfast, as it was nearing 8:00 and he was still asleep. I decided to wait a little longer and poor myself a cup of coffee with some breakfast and a book that Justin and I have started to read with our young-married couples group. I'm enjoying it so far! It's titled The Son of Laughter by Frederick Buechner. I'm only in the middle of the 2nd chapter, but I would recommend it already. It's the retelling of the story of Jacob.
I'm a big fan of breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day, you know.
Our home faces the east, so when the sky is clear the sun rises into our living room, kitchen and dining room. I love it, though it's amazing how the sun brings out the dust and the spots of dirt that you didn't quite see with an overcast day. It's reminder to me of how the Son does this with our hearts :)
It's nearing 8:30 and I hear a peep from Eli's bedroom. I wish he wouldn't notice the camera as I try to record him talking to his mobile animal friends. He stops talking once he sees me. Probably wondering what happened to my face. What a nut! He joyfully coos at them and makes conversation with them when he's bored. It brings me such joy to see how happy he is.
Monday's aren't so terrible. A beginning to another week, full of possibilities!
