Some mornings Jacob teaches super early and then comes home for a little bit before he goes to teach more classes. The kids love to watch for him and he likes coming home to this! :)
For several weeks now, I've been going to the gym with my sister and dad at 5:30 in the morning. I love it! I love getting out of bed and getting my day started early. I get home and can have my quiet time before anyone else is out of bed.
The other day while the boys napped, Lily and I had some girl time. I gave her a mani and pedi and we played together. She had the best time.
Jacob's brother's wedding and my bro's wedding are coming up so soon! I have so much planning and packing to do! The weddings are a week apart, one is in Indiana and one is in South Carolina. Craziness!
Whenever I go to a thrift store, I always check out the books. These are some of my most recent finds - almost all of them are like new!
So much of our days are spent reading. We read these little books, but we also read chapter books. Lately we've finished Charlotte's Web, Hello Mrs Piggle Wiggle, and the first Boxcar Children book. Lily and Levi are so funny - at the end of a chapter they beg me to read more. :) I'm so glad they love books!
Levi is a rascal! He climbs on everything. The other night I walked into the kitchen and he was standing on the table! He had been sitting in his seat eating his supper, but I guess he decided he was done.
We got 4 hens over the weekend! So far we've been getting 3-4 eggs each day! The other day, Jacob was finishing up the coop and we got to talking about our plans for a garden, the next thing we knew, two of the hens were running around the yard. It took us awhile to get them back in, but I'm sure our neighbors got a laugh at us if they happened to look out their windows! :)
L&L love finding flowers in the yard to bring to me. It's so sweet.
My little ones are starting to wake up, so I must go fix a bottle and breakfast, and oh, coffee too!
Psalm 145:8
The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
Happy Wednesday!
Morning exercise has helped me so much! Glad you can go with your dad and sister. How awesome!
ReplyDeleteId love to work out that early. Mike leaves for work at 5 and the kids wake up shortly after that. Love your chickens! !!
ReplyDeleteLove catching up with you through your blog. I always look through the books at our thrift store too. We love books here too :) You got a lot of great ones.
ReplyDeleteHope your family is having a great day!

Susannah LOOOOOVES the Little House picture books, I'm glad you found one for your collection. :) Yay for getting to the gym!
ReplyDeleteSo nice that you have gym-partners. It's so much harder to stay in bed when you're meeting other people. :-D
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous about the chickens! Our town has a 3-acre rule...and I only have 1/3rd. lol! But I am so happy for you. :) Thankfully I get delicious free-range eggs from a friend for only $2/dozen, so I can't complain...but I would still love my own someday!
ReplyDeleteMan, I so need to get up and work out early like that! Nice to have accountability! We love reading, too! Fun finds!
