Miscellaneous

For what we are about to receive, may we be truly grateful! 

Or something. Look what she sent for Asher before she heard of my nickname for him.

A few pictures from our summer so far:

We've played in the creek....

watched the garden grow...

Seen the rainbow after all the rain...

Miriam was in the VBS musical...

And I got inventive went the drier and clothes line both broke...

Yeah, it's been a crazy, busy, beautiful, and slightly stressful summer so far.

...how true this has become for me.

"You can tell your story from a place where it no longer dominates you. You can speak about it with a certain distance and see it as the way to your present freedom. The compulsion to tell your story is gone. From your perspective of the life you now live and the distance you now have, your past does not loom over you. It has lost it’s weight and can be remembered as God’s way of making you more compassionate and understanding of others."
--Henri Nouwen, The Inner Voice of Love

I am happy to report that thanks to our wonderful webslave (a.k.a Daddy), Westhaven Kids has seven new pictures in the header.  Enjoy! I am. :D

I've been rather neglectful of the blog lately. And, as a result, am playing catch up! Look for a lot of new posts dated in May and June (though I am writing them now) to keep things in the right time frames.

Some of you may remember the review I did on gDiapers, the environmentally friendly diaper,  awhile ago. I ended up really liking them but only used them for travel due to cost. Well, they recently came out with cloth inserts!! Woohooo! This plus a new 6 pack of cover unit makes them as affordable as other cloth systems. I really love how trim they are and they have most of the positives of all-in-one diapers with none if the negatives!

Even better, right now (until July 31st) they are running a special where you can get their 6 pack of covers regularly $70 for $40!! That is incredible! You need a coupon code to get this deal and I have one. The really cool thing is if enough people us my code, I get some free. Here are the instructions on how to use the code and the code, of course:

Here's the personal gMum/Dad coupon code we promised:

g1323West

To use your personal gMum/Dad coupon code, add one or more everyday g's six-pack(s) to your
gDiapers.com
cart, enter your code and click the "redeem" button. The price will
automatically drop from $70 (regular price) to $40. What a sweet deal!

Please note, gDiapers.com coupon codes are case sensitive, so make sure to enter your code exactly as shown above.

Wow, I have a lot of catch up blogging to do!! I've been out of town visited family.... in other words, no internet. I have a lot of pics to share. More coming soon! :)

I've been photo tagged by my friend Stacy. I'm supposed to pull the fourth picture from the fourth file on my computer, so here it is.

This is Miriam "helping" me put together the little table and chair set she got from Mimmi and Grandma Katie for her second birthday.

I'll tag Jen, Cindy, Amy, and Sarah.
