Monday...Monday....

Sorry to those of you who have tried to comment. I think I fixed it. Maybe even if someone could try and comment that would help me know if I changed it. Okay, thanks.

I worked Sunday and bright and early this morning had a unit meeting. Jesse's mom watched the girls so I could make it. Our Telemetry unit ranked in the top 10% for patient satisfaction for the last 6 years nationwide. They had a breakfast for us. Egg bake with ham and hashbrowns and bacon. Is that heart healthy?

The girls both took a long nap today as they were up early and played out.

We went for a bike ride tonight before supper.

Jesse watched the Vikings game. Grace and I made breakfast cookies. I will post the recipe when I have time. Filled with good stuff and taste yummy.

I just finished reading the The Wild Goose.

Time for bed.

Fall?

Could it be upon us so suddenly? This weekend we were sweating and it was humid and we were at the lake and running through the sprinkler. Yesterday it rained and today fall is in the air. I can't believe I just wrote that. I was going to rebel and keep out the summer clothes, but this morning I have been weeding out the sundresses and tank tops and filling the drawers with jeans ans sweatershirts. Of course, I can't bring myself to do the same for my closet, at least not yet. The wind is chilly. The air is crisp. Summer is my favorite season, but I do love the leaves changing and the field across from our home is filled with pumpkins. They are huge and they are orange. So, once again a new season is upon us.

The Olympics are over. So, we are getting more sleep. At least going to bed earlier. We have traded watching the athletes for our time on the couch of listening to podcasts and reading before bed. Mark Driscoll it is as of late. Thanks, Drew, for the recommendation.

Okay, back to work.

JLT Tuesday Tidbit

Okay, so it is late. And yesterday was a holiday and so it kind of threw me off. I am back on my reading rampage and soaking up so many good books that I could write about them every week. This week I am reading Mark Batterson's new book WILD GOOSE CHASE. Since I have only read a couple of chapters since Jesse read it first I am going to whet your appetite with a little from the back cover of the book.

"Most of us have no idea where we're going most of the time. Perfect. Celtic Christians had a name for the Holy Spirit- An Geadh-Glas, or 'the Wild Goose.' The name hints at mystery. Much like the wild goose, the Spirit of God cannot be tracked or tamed. An element of danger, and of unpredictability surround Him. And while name may sound a little sacrilegious, I cannot think of a better description of what it's like to follow the Spirit through life. I think the Celtic Christians were on to something...Most of us will have no idea where we are going most of the time. And I know that is unsettling. But circumstantial uncertainty also goes by another name: Adventure....."

Check it out.

Labor Day Weekend

With G & G T. at the lake








My little ladies after church























Sprinkler and water fun at Nana and Papa's

That is our weekend in a nutshell. We spent time with the grandparents over the weekend and Monday hung out at home. We made breakfast cookies(thanks for the recipe, Rachel), picked raspberries at the farm, and caught up on some much needed naps. Jesse leaves early for a meeting in WI tomorrow, so he is trying to catch some sleep. Morning will come too quickly.
