Happenings and pondering.

I actually got a new camera.  I was really missing it.

The only problem is I really dislike trying to figure out new technical things  I liked how my old camera had a very clear spot that said "Auto" on it.  I need things real simple.

Well I'm sure the children will show me how to use it!  lol!

Our household hasn't had any big exciting things happen.  Just back to normal life after the nice 2 week break from school, births, activity's.  It was so nice to stay home and enjoy watching snow fall.  It was terrible to notice all the leaking spots our roof is having problems with as the snow melts!

This last week I got some new windows in the bedrooms, got some painting done, Joe and Moriah came up for one day, I had a nice butter birth, ran children here and there, and just very normal life. 

 Eric is here for the weekend, and after church I'm hoping for a nice lazy Sunday before my busy week.

I'll have a postpartum visit in Eureka (75 miles away)  on Monday, so that takes all day it seems, Wed. we have Dr appointments in Kalispell, plus all the normal piano lessons, basketball, youth groups, prenatals on Thurs this week.  It will be a busy week.  Which brings me to my deep thoughts of late:

We had a friend of ours die a couple of weeks ago.  I just keep evaluating and reevaluating my life and what I do with my days.  Life just seems to be whizzing by.  Do I really do what I want to do?  Children grow up so fast and I have so few years left with the ones at home.  But life is busy.  Running them here and there, paying bills, paperwork and phone calls, keeping a house clean and running smoothly takes a lot of effort.  But then the things that are important like taking a child out for an ice cream cone, or reading bedtime story's,  seem to get taken over by something "more important"  at the moment too often.  Always thinking we will do it tomorrow.  I want to live life with the priority's that are truly important, but in the mean time you can't skip the cares of this life.  

I heard someone say on the radio,  "you can choose to spend you time how ever you want, but you only get to spend it once"  

Well those are my deep ponderings lately.
