Random 5 on Friday ~ June 27th

It’s Friday and that means it is time for some random thoughts. This is my first Random 5 on Friday post hosted by Miranda over at The Pebble Pond. So here I go…

1. We drove to Michigan this pass weekend and dropped off Marie to her pre-college scholarship program. It was bittersweet leaving her there. {I didn’t cry though}

2. Traveling with a 1 month old is an adventure in and of itself. It took us 15 hours, 44 minutes, 48 seconds, and 5 milliseconds to drive home on Monday according to Madison’s iPod timer.

{we had to stop 30 minutes from our house, this little guy was done sitting in his carseat}.

3. McKenzie has been playing Wheel of Fortune on the Wii lately. She loves to spin the wheel and guess letters. I make sure she says the letter before pressing it so that I know she is actually recognizing the letter correctly.

4. Like most other homeschooling moms I am in the midst of planning our 6th year of school. That involves lots of praying and re-reading books like The Well Trained Mind.

5. I am not a huge fan of grocery shopping, but since we have to eat I am trying to get back into being frugal. I seem to have lost my frugal mojo while I was pregnant. Do you have any tips besides using coupons?

Micah is 1 month

Time sure does have a way of flying by when you are having fun snuggling and loving on this sweet baby boy.

It feels just like yesterday that I was in the hospital waiting to hear if the Dr’s were going to send me home for bed rest or take him out early at 36 weeks. So glad the latter was chosen because we were all ready to meet our little guy.

Its been a great month at home getting to know Micah and his emerging personality. He is still in the eat, poop, sleep, repeat, with bouts of awakeness. Overall he is simply a joy and great addition to our family.

“For this boy I prayed, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of Him. “So I have also dedicated him to the LORD; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the LORD.” And he worshiped the LORD there.

~ 1 Samuel 1:27-28
