Family Alive

It’s one of those rare mornings when I don’t have anything planned.  Brian just took Analise to preschool, and I’ve got the whole morning free… well, free with Josiah.  I’ve got so many little things I want to do, I’m not sure where to start!  Maybe a shower? 🙂 

We had a quiet weekend around here, which was lovely.  Brian watched the sweeties for a few hours on both Saturday and Sunday, so I was able to get out and just be by myself.  I actually just sat at Panera with a lovely coffee drink and my laptop on Saturday.  On Sunday I went to a dance/costume consignment sale and found a few little dance things for Analise to play in. 

Yesterday, the kids and I met Analise’s friend Jacob and his mom at the zoo.  It was fun walking around leisurely and talking, splashing in the water area, having lunch together.  Then we had friends over for dinner, and I made this amazing Southern Living Chicken ‘n Spinach Pasta recipe.  (It’s one of my top 3 favorite recipes now.  I think I’ve made 4 pans of it in the last 6 weeks!) 

So today is quiet, and hopefully I can find a nice balance between getting things done, playing with Josiah, and doing something for myself.  All this after a shower and a little reading in my Beth Moore devotional, Jesus: 90 Days with the One and Only.  I’m off!
