Hat Time~ Knit, Knit, Knit!!!
 |
| We're home from Bible study and snuggling in to watch a DVD. I will knit (from these pretty colors) and Matt will play legos. When we came home, after I shoveled part of the drive and Matt put on his jammies, we went over notes from Bible study, discussing our behavior compared to what God wants from us. A five (5) minute recap of what we learned at church is always a good way to ensure Matt's paying attention and fully understands. And tonight was special as we both discussed how we see eachother's current behavior in comparrison to God's Word. Want to know how your child truly sees you? Just ask. |

Snowing Hard on the Homestead!

Day 1/ 365
 |
| Well, folks, it's snowing again in Joliet, IL! A nice, steady snow-fall to ring in the new year. Looking like a fluffy white year stretches out before us here on the homestead.... |

| A bit of knitting while Matt makes macaronni and cheese with peas, carrots and tuna! So nice to be home... So nice to have extra family time... |

New Years Day aka A Day at Home!!!
 |
| A day of sleeping in is a true blessing to this single mom! It's a day to reconnect with my son and do a bit of catching up on cleaning. It's also a day to begin the process of going forward on my plans for 2014. Thoughts of baking, gardening and landscaping options, coffee blends and endless knitting fill my head and pull me forward to a better life for Matt and I. |
 |
| As I knit and Matt makes his list of things he'd like to accomplish in 2014, we quietly watch the Waltons and enjoy the peace of home. As much as we dearly love this little house we are planning to eventually sell and move... all part of our plan for our future.... all part of growing and going forward.... all part of having a secure future as I age... And, as Matt makes his list, the list of a 12-year-old young man, I learn bits and pieces of what makes Matt who he is... And, from here...? Well, now we absolutely must spend quality time every day working on some item on our respective lists! Then, every week or two (2), we'll sit down and rewrite our lists... after all, sometimes working on one item on a list may very well reveal to the list-maker that that particular goal wasn't what we thought it was for one reason or another.... and, at that point, it's time to re-evaluate where we are headed and why... |
