Tired

My trip to Georgia went well. I was reminded that there are needs everywhere and I need discernment to determine where I should be investing my energy. My energy is a little less than normal these days since the little one inside is growing, growing, growing.
I think I've been a little down also because we've been talking about moving again. We've moved so often that it seems normal but I also know how hard it is. It seems like things just get set up in the house (or apartment) and then it's time to pack again. Hopefully we will stay here through the summer and move after the baby is born in October. We'd like to buy a house. We shall see what God has in store. My husband says he doesn't want to stop moving because we are tired of moving he wants to stop because we are in the right place.

I'm going on a trip and I'm not taking the kids

Sunday March 12th, I'll be traveling to Macon, Georgia with my mom and 14 women from my church. We are going to Hephzibah Children's Home to help out for a week.
I'm looking forward to the opportunity to serve and get to know the women on my team.
This will be the longest I've ever been away from my three little ones (Dino - 6, Pumpkin - 4, and Ladybug - 23 months). But, one little Steely is stowing away - this one does make me tired but is very quiet and I don't think people will notice.
Well, I tried to post a few days ago after I realized it's been two months. And I had a nice long post written when the computer decided to crash. Ah, well life goes on...
I continue to homeschool - Dino is learning to read and doing well in math. And we are currently working on the books of the Bible and Psalm 23. It's fun to hear the Pumpkin say the minor prophets.
Well, rest time is about over and I'd better go check on the ladybug. She has a cold and seems to be cutting another tooth.
The three kids went to the dentist on Tuesday - no cavities. Yea!
That's all for now.
