Getting the Motor Going

 

I am having such a hard time getting my motor started today. After so many days, weeks and months of going at full tilt, having a day where the house is quiet, well except for the sound of the washer and dryer. Then there the  men out front working to put all of our utilities underground, preparing for the wider road out front. I have a orange cone in the middle of my driveway. Does that mean I couldn't leave or no one can pull in? I wondered as I stared at it. It is a parade of hard hats and orange vests outside the fence.

When we went to Arizona, I really meant to take more pictures than I did. Finally today Kessie took pictures for me and sent me a couple. I thought I would share them with you.

This one is Sophie, five weeks.

 

Kessie said she learned to smile. Such a sweet face with lovely kissable cheeks.

 

This is her big sister. I laughed to hear, that big sister wants baby sister to come play with her. To this day, I remember the disappointment I felt when my Mom showed up with my baby brother who was too little to play with or even talk to or play all of these games I was thinking of before he came home.

 

 We have lovely rain in the forecast for the rest of the week and in to the weekend. I feel like my life is filled with so many gifts.

I hope you have a lovely week. This first week of January. I guess since it is a new year, a new month, I should mix it up and try a new schedule.

"I think that is a better thing than thanksgiving: thanks-living. How is this to be done? By a general cheerfulness of manner, by an obedience to the command of Him by whose mercy we live, by a perpetual, constant delighting of ourselves in the Lord, and by a submission of our desires to His will."
