Life update and thoughts

Well, we are starting to settle into a routine here which is great for me. That's what we all needed. Summer likes her school and the girls seem to be very nice and not clicky (my biggest worry). I think it helps that this is a brand new school and everyone just started although a lot of these kids knew each other from other schools. Adam is going to a preschool program twice a week for an hour just to get out of the house. I will post him being on TV if you did not get the email. We are also going to story hour at the library and the biggest news is that I signed him up for ice hockey. He is bursting at the seams to get out there! He can't wait. We went to Play It Again Sports and boughts some used skates and stick and he will be renting the equipment which is nice because its a pretty big investment and I would like him just to try it. I am a little weary about the amount of injury involved in this sport- but they are peewee's right? I decided at the moment not to put him a preschool program mostly because of the cost and I can work with him at home but I think he was ready for kindergarten already and I don't want him to get too far ahead because then he'll be bored when he gets there. Because of this we are searching out for friends to play with and this week there doesn't seem to be a loss of that. Summer made a friend across the street and her sister is the same age as Adam. Also, there is a little boy across the street who is a little younger but they play nicely together. This brings me to my next subject....friends....

If you read my previous post I was writing about my lack of pursuing friendships. God must have read my blog because moms have been literally throwing phone numbers at me! It is so funny how I just posted about that and I have had several moms really make an effort and extend themselves to me. It is incredible how God works and can read our hearts. Now its just up to me to pursue it. We got together over labor day with another family in the neighborhood and they took us to a place where there is a short hiking trail. EVERY DAY I thank God for sending us here and showing us so much beauty. This hike was 15 minutes and we saw the most beautiful waterfall and driving back we saw a beautiful lake surrounded by trees. Darnit my battery went dead in my camera or I would have posted pictures. Whenever I take walks with Asia I am overwhelmed with the beauty. Someone at Ali's work told him that God was here....that is so true. There is something spiritual about being so close to the awesome beauty and wonder. Sometimes I get in my car and I am in my own little world and then I get around the corner and see those awesome mountains and then I say Oh ya I am here! This morning me and Adam said "Good morning mountains!"

I signed up for a moms group which will completely take me out of my comfort zone. Again those reaching out issues... but I figured I have to do it for Adam too. If I don't like the people then who says I have to stick with it right? I am also thinking about going to a Bible Study Fellowship for women. I guess this is a national group and they meet once a week here for Bible study class. Does anyone know anything about this? Two people mentioned it to me so I thought I would check it out. It disturbed me when I googled it and "Bible Study Fellowship Cult" popped up but then with further reading I did not see anything alarming. I also went to my first "PAC" meeting tonight - its the parent teacher group. It was OK- I think I will help out at the fall carnival. It was a little weird cause I was the only one who brought kids (Ali was working) out of about 15 people but they were good. I was feeling a little sad today because my phone was SILENT.
