Oops!  It's been some time since I last posted.  It is amazing how busy life can be.  Last week was a rather eventful week.  On Thursday, my aunt called to ask if we could babysit her 3 girls.  After confirming that we could, we made plans to go to a nearby zoo.  To make a rather long story short, we ended up adding my uncle's two boys to the mix.  The three Ryder children took all 5 little ones to the zoo, and what a trip it was!  We had tons of fun and laughter!  They all did a really great job.  (I'll post a picture later.)
Faith Finders is continuing to grow!  Some of the boys and girls have such sweet tender hearts.  One little boy hugged Lucas and said, "I'm so glad I came today.  My Mom will be so proud."  (He was the winner of the quiet seat!) 
My days are pretty full of a variety of tasks, but I've managed to pick up a couple new books. 
1. 
 Set Apart by Bruce Wilkinson
2. 
The Five Love Languages for Singles by Gary Chapman
Both have been very interesting.
Lucas is gone this week to a band camp.  We miss him, but it is great to still have Rachel home for a couple more weeks!  I have such wonderful siblings.
Hopefully it won't be so long before I can write again!  Have a great week!
