Book worm

Does your nightstand look like mine? I went down to my crate of books yesterday (yes I am in serious need of a bookshelf) and picked out a handful ... or two handfuls of books to read. Notice all the nonfiction :)
First up - Elizabeth George's "Beautiful in God's Eyes"

What's on the menu this week?

I'll let you know if they are good - you let me know if you want recipes :)

Book reading

I haven't forgotten about my goals for the year... I just have been great about monthly update. Coming home did throw me a curve ball for time. ie my reading time practically amounted to nothing for the month of June- but I am just going to press forward and continue to read. By the end of the year - my goal is 12 nonfiction 12 fiction. (it's getting harder and harder with to read with a one year old... my time is now early morning or after bed time for the little man)
This is a book I just finished reading did a nonfiction count -
Holiness by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
It is very challenging thought provoking (life changing- if you allow it)

I am posting this from my phone and I haven't figured out the blog app completely ... so all the picture appear at the end of the post... But one displays the front cover and the other a verse that was meaningful to me.

Overall review-
I highly recommend this book. It will draw you closer to the Lord and guide you to a more holy life. Prepare your heart to be challenged :)

Fun little One

Little facts about our little guy
1. When we go out, his goal is to gets others attention and get them to smile.
2. Everyone comments on his "beautiful" eyes
3. He will eat anything for a Cheerio

5. Makes me give bear bear a night night kiss too
6. Loves loves loves books

8. Likes our neighbors dog Bella. The feeling is not mutual :) bella will come only do close (sometimes a kiss on P's ear before she is off )
9. He gives great kisses
10. He can turn this tongue in crazy ways- I think he will be able to touch his tongue to his nose :)

Where have I been??

Well... life is life right... the days pass slow... years fly by :)
Of course as you know we are back in America.  We have bought one car, rent an apartment and best of all... Wes has a great job!!  He got a job working for Coca-Cola Consolidated!!  He is an Account Developer and we are SUPER excited about this long-term career opportunity!

I haven't forgotten about the blog... in fact- daily I think "I must do a blog post"  but our internet only works from the porch outside... and I probably have a ton of other excuses I could come up with... but really I just haven't been disciplined.

I am trying to decide
If I should keep writing the blog.
Should I make a new blog address since we are no longer on an "Adventure in China"

What should I blog about? - Mothering, Staying at home, Daily life, books ...

What is your input?
