Where does the time go?

I can hardly believe that it is June already.  I have been busy sewing K's birthday present.  He turns 3 on Thursday.  He has grown so much since he and his sibs came into the house.  I feel so utterly blessed that God has granted us with the gift of raising these kids.  Even during the hard days it is worth it because our lives would surely be lacking the vibrancy it now has with these little ones blessing us each day.  (Some days it takes a bit longer to see the blessing- like when I am scrubbing poop off the walls- but they are a blessing none the less!)

I have been finding the joy in my life again.  During school it is hard to make time to do little projects or big ones that are not part of the school syllabus but during the summer I am free to work on many different things.  We have three new chicks that I will be introducing to the flock as soon as they get a bit older and a few more feathers.  Right now, they are adorable little balls of fluff. 
 I have been working on my cooking skills and setting high goals for myself.  Sometimes a bit too high if I am being honest.  Still, even when there are a few too many pots on the stove top I feel a sense of rightness with cooking.  It is as if God is saying "Yes, this is good, this is something you should learn."  Plus, when something turns out tasting good it is worth all the effort.  

Ahh bedtime once again.  The kinner will be up all too soon and I best get some sleep while I can.  Many blessings to all!
