Favorite Things Friday

Alright I am going to copy Rachel again because it sounds fun. In no particular order.

1. Gigi is here! She took us out for dinner so I wouldn't have to cook, gave Calvin a bath and watches the kids so I can have a break. What a blessing!

2. It has been so fun to watch Cordelia learn lately. She can now give high fives, and when you ask her where her nose is she points just below it. Then she points to my nose.

3. Gold Box! We are watching House season 7 right now because we were able to buy a digital copy from Amazon for $6. A shout out to my Dad too for giving us this awesome dvd player.

4. Extreme Couponing. I have learned the art. I spent 45 at the grocery store and saved 65 on monday. That's right, I saved more than I spent and I didn't buy 50 bottles of mustard. Today I got some resolve carpet cleaner for $0.50 and some free hand soap. And I have only just begun.

5. I am so excited for Jordan to be starting his masters. He loves his classes and he is working so hard. I am so proud of him. And he still helps out around the house a ton, what a great man!

6. Calvin has been hitting lately, a lot. No that is not my favorite thing. I am so blessed by how understanding everyone has been about it. And I am truly blessed that I can call my mom anytime for some sound advice and some good old fashioned encouragement.

7. Calvin has been singing all the time lately. I posted a video earlier. It is so sweet to hear his little voice and he is finally getting all the words and the timing down.

8. KENKEN, holy buckets am I obsessed with that game. It is like sudoku but with math. Love it.

9. Rick and Jackie are coming to see us tomorrow and we are so excited. We haven't seen Jackie in about a year and a half and we haven't seen Rick since Christmas. I am so excited for them to see Calvin and Cordelia and to talk to them. They are so great together.

10. I've been reading in Romans lately about God's love leading us to repentance and not apathy. I am so grateful to serve a God that lavishes me with grace, I pray that I will always seek his will and not become complacent. The cross is such a marvelous gift!

Alright I think that rounds it out. That was kinda fun. No promises on keeping up with it but I will do my best. Happy Friday everybody!
