Busy Busy weekend!

We had such a busy weekend, we went to a wedding and I've been busy preparing school for next year.  I'll share what we'll be doing in another post,.  :D.

But we had a good Sabbath and a good week.

I should have known that our friendship would hit a snag.......

Although Ashleigh and I haven't known each other long, (We met just over a week ago.)  Satan is already trying to break our friendship apart.  But I will not let this happen!

Earlier in the week, Joshua managed to find a soda that my husband bought (against my request, because soda's are unhealthy.)  And not only did he have one, but he gave Nataleigh one!  I was horrified.  He's never been willfully disobedient but I know he was this time because I told him one night that Nataleigh's family didn't drink soda's.  He's been grounded to his room for the next week, unless he has to use the bathroom or eat he's not leaving his bedroom until Saturday.

Another source of contention between Ashleigh and I is that she found out that the children are vaccinated.  Well, they wouldn't if it were up to me.  I would be happy to let them run around unvaccinated, but Mark insists that they are vaccinated.

I'm not happy with Mark this week.  But I must submit to him, for he is my husband.

Oh, I've finished a simple baby sweater for my oldest grandchild!  5 years can't pass quickly enough!

Wonderful Sunday!

I had a wonderful Sunday today with my family.  We went to church and the children behaved wonderfully, even little Abigail who still needs to be trained not to cry.  While we went home, we talked of the service and I was delighted to learn that Jacob had actually paid attention (he doesn't usually, he's good at faking it.  I praised him for learning more about God today, hopefully he will take the lesson into his heart and desire to learn more about God always.

When we got home I made my husband his favorite dish for dinner.  Since it is Father's Day, we talked at the dinner table about Fathers and how they help children become Godly men and women.  Jacob asked why we dont have more children in our family.

I tried to answer his question but couldn't for the tears.  I would love to have more children, but it seems that so far God has only seen fit to open my womb for 4 children.  Except for Joshua, I have been unable to get pregnant quickly.  Mark scolded Jacob who looked ashamed, he hugged me and said that he was sorry for making me cry.  I forgave him for his insensitive question and dinner went on.

We spent some time with Nataleighs' family and enjoyed ourselves.  I am enjoying getting to know her, she is a godly girl who is very mature for her age.  I can't wait for them to get married.  Too bad they can't get married sooner then when Nataleigh is 13.

First blog post

This is my first blog post, my friend Ashleigh has a blog, http://zedicy542.blogspot.com/ and she said I should start one as well.

I'll start by introducing my family,
Mark is my husband, he is 29 years old and the head of our lovely family.
Joshua is my oldest son, he is 10 years old, our honeymoon baby.
Jacob is my middle son, he's 6 years old and a little spitfire.
Johnny is my youngest son, he's 3 and loves to 'read' the bible.
Abigail is my only daughter (so far) she's 6 months old and I can't wait to make her a big sister!
I am Elizabeth and married Mark when I was 18.

My son Joshua is betrothed to my friend Ashleigh's oldest daughter, Nataleigh.  They will wed in 5 years when Joshua is 15 and Nataleigh is 13.  I can't wait for that day.  I think I will start sewing and making things for the babies they'll be sure to bless us with.

I can't wait! Now that Joshua is betrothed we need to start looking for a wife for Jacob.
