There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time to every purpose, under heaven (The Byrds)
I feel like life is like that song right now. Kaden started junior high. He's rocking it too. Kyle started 5th; Kameron 3rd; Kate, 1st; and Kami remains my ever faithful follower. Spencer is super busy between home life, work, being a super scoutmaster, brother, son and so on. And I'm here. Here is home, yard, store, church, errands of all types. Here is good. But I often wonder at the end of the day just what I spent my whole day on.
I remind myself of a good husband and five children who've been fed and loved. And that's what my here is.
Many good things are going on. Saturday was salsa day--really it started on Friday. But I double batch too many things and now proudly have 48 pints of salsa ready to store. Isn't it fun to see that on the shelf?! But it's hard to enjoy the process. I just like the outcome. I have 3 boxes of tomatoes in the fridge waiting to become Italian Stewed tomatoes. But I need more time! Kaden just got braces yesterday. Hopefully he'll start eating again soon. :) Kyle stayed up until midnight last night reading Michael Vey book 1. Kameron just finished another Roald Dahl book today. Kate is so busy being everyone's friend. Kami is busy being two. Really, I think she's the busiest one of all. Two words that she's said lately that surprised me are "delicious," and "crocodile." My two-year-old is a smart one. I'm sure all of the others are too, but mine is cuter. I am blessed beyond measure. And so when I try to figure out what I spent all that time on every day, I'll just remember whatever it was is beyond measure.
