Time Savers

Since I have been pretty tired lately, I have not been to the grocery store or Target in over three weeks. Greg has been running, what seems like daily, to the store to pick up whatever we need to just make it through the day. After feeling like I really needed to get on top of things, I found two ways I could get a little cooking and shopping done without much effort.

1. Super Suppers - a couple friends have used them for a while and I finally decided that we had eaten out enough and needed to have some formula for home cooked meals. They have a monthly supper club which is very reasonable and the meals are great! I ordered the meals online and then went to the store to pick them up. So easy!

2. Sam's Club - they have 'Click 'n Pull' where you can shop online and they pull all your groceries for you, at no cost. I simply went in today, they pulled my order, I payed at Customer Service (with no wait), and we were off. Again, so easy!

I have no idea why I have not tapped into these resources before. Our pantry is now full and we will again have hot semi-home cooked meals!

Twins Update

We are just getting back from our ultrasound this morning. Everything looked great. God answered our prayers - the babies have a septum between them! Both babies were measuring exactly the same.

Please continue to pray for the babies' health and continued development. We are hoping for a January delivery. We know that these two babies are a blessing from the Lord so we will continue to trust Him to carry our family through the months to come.

Worry

This past week the boys went with Greg to young singles Sunday School. Their round table discussion was on worry. Since the boys wanted to participate, Camden made a Top 10 List of Worries for he and Landon:

1. Being sprayed by a skunk.
2. Getting an A-.
3. A squirrel scratching me on the head.
4. A failed math paper.
5. Daddy taking my pen away.
6. Being chased by a deer.
7. A bear trying to kill me.
8. Being speared by an Alcus Indian.
9. The building breaking.
10. A bullet hitting me in the eye.

Worry, it has always been something I struggled with. However, I can honestly say none of these have ever topped my list.
