Better than I deserve

It's much too late at night for me to begin a post.

I am in love with coupons. Seriously. I buy two papers and my friend gives me her coupons. I went bargain hunting in a drugstore with coupons for the first time this week. A-mazing.

Arthur is taking steps. I've counted as many as six, but he doesn't do the typical hold an adult's hands and walk thing. If I try to hold his hands so he can walk he hangs like a monkey, which looks more fun to me. He is a little obsessed with teeth. Given the opportunity he will reach out to touch anyone's.

We've switched from dance to swim lessons for Coco. I'm not sure how long we'll be able to afford lessons. Let's hope she's a quick learner. Everything is pretend all the time with her! Lots of Pixar themes since we were all sick last week, and she watched oodles. I'm going for zero television this week to compensate. And I am thinking about a regular, scheduled devotional time for us as a test run for homeschooling.

Some changes may be afoot. I'm not sure how things will shake out, but deep down I'm hoping that nothing changes. What's that expression - the more things change the more they stay the same? Suffice to say I like things just the way they are, and I self-righteously feel entitled for things to remain just so. I have a lot of idols. God is a jealous god.

We have a busy week ahead. A big park playdate tomorrow (it may get in the 80's!), women's Bible study (ironically about change - anyone see a theme?), an overnight trip to visit a college friend in our old college town (!), Arthur's baby play group, and Disney this weekend. Hopefully the gym two or three times as well. God is good.

Off to bed, sleepyheads.

The lot is cast into the lap,
But its every decision is from the LORD. (Proverbs 16:33)
