Bills and Blessings

When your birthday is approaching, there's really no way to forget because you receive that beautiful gift of a tax bill for your car registration a few weeks prior to your special day. As if approaching a new decade wasn't enough, I also received a double dose of humility as I (doubtingly) obtained a (probably long overdue) speeding ticket. Keep those bills a-coming! While I stick to the standard rule of "ten miles over legitimacy", I really felt like the gun was not calibrated in this instance, but, such is life. I think never wanting to have more or less of what I need, it all balanced me out since I have already been blessed by other monetary birthday gifts! God always has a way of providing everything we need!

Little man loved making his tower "big."

It was a bit like playing Jenga.

Visiting our post-surgery friend, proved to be a cat-chasing fun time for Silas.

How sweet is the new Clausen addition, baby Penny!

It's also helped me keep distant family and friends informed, but I've felt for some time it's come to an appropriate place for pause. I know that I have many more mountains and valleys to travel if the Lord wills it, and many more personal lessons that I'd love to share and reread to my kiddos one day (and if anyone wants to organize and compile this little landscape into a memoir, please be my guest), but I do not ever want to assume a posture of numbness as it relates to our regular routines.

A little color

School has officially started for me, and my teachable teenagers will be booming into my room in two days! I can't wait to shape those minds of our future! :)   However, my summer projects are a great reminder of the joyful color and peace I had for two months. :) I found this great idea on Pinterest and thought it would add a great accent color to any room in my home! I still have to put it all together, but here's what the finished product will look like with a little more subtle turquoise: I have it all painted and ready to be assembled!  More pics upon completion! (may be quite a while though now that school is in session... hope you weren't holding your breath.) ~CC
