Long Time, No Write

Let's play catch up. Hmmm. I think I last wrote in early August, when we got our kitten Faith. She's doing well. Has 'kitty flu' at the moment, but getting her spunk back.

Work is good. I continue to work on writing a book, but am currently facing writer's block. It's a good challenge to work through. I've got the skeleton of the book and am working on putting the muscle on it. The muscle is about 60% done.

Church is good. We're working on our Harvest Party, then we tackle Christmas, then an advance (leadership retreat), then VBS.

Greg and I have been working on a layout for the backyard. Still! Today we got sod. We haven't tapped into the mainline yet or installed sprinklers, but we have sod in the backyard. I guess landscapers can put the cart before the horse sometimes.

I'm reading two books, slowly. The first is Mentor Leader by Tony Dungy and the second is Crazy Love by Francis Chan. Both are good. Crazy Love is kicking my backside, though. Ouch!

Had a cool experience yesterday at work. A friend of one of the ladies came in with her 1 year old daughter. Very cute. I waved and smiled at the baby. The mom was around the corner and the baby strained to see me. I waved again. Then the baby arched her back to be put down. Mom put her down and she walked around two corners and right up to me in the office, stopped, put her arms up for me to pick her up, (and of course I did!) and she sat happily on my lap playing with my necklace, glasses, mouse, pen, paper, and calculator for about 15 minutes. My boss, who is pregnant with her first, said, "She just walked right up to you!", repeatedly. She was so cute! Yeah, I like babies, at least the ones that don't scream when they see you.

Kristen is in MacBeth as a drummer. Lots of late nights rehearsing. Glad when she can come home after school again.

Mark is doing well. It seems like overnight he grew up.

Not much else is happening. Have a blessed Saturday!
