Sleeping Beauty

Is it possible that a family of three could have two world-class sleepers in it?!?! My sweet baby girl is definitely a sleeper after her daddy's heart, impressing us with her abilities to conk out at any given moment. Currently she is napping on my shoulder. She must be tuckered out from the 3 hour nap she just woke up from 5 minutes ago :) I've enclosed a picture of my two sleeping beauties for your viewing pleasure...

I started back to work this week. Yet again I am amazed at God's sustaining grace. He is truly strongest when I am weak. Each morning I get up at 5:30am to feed my daughter, shower, drink as much coffee as possible and drag my drowsy body to the car. By God's mercy, I am in the classroom by 7:30 tweaking my lessons for the day. How my mind is awake enough to lecture about the intricacies of Shakespeare's wit, I have no idea. I serve a good God.

Thursdays are by far my favorite day of any week. For some reason, Joel and I regard Thursday nights as a sacred "date night" at home. Every Thursday I pull out my best homemaker skills and cook my man a small feast. We then spend the evening relaxing, talking, and enjoying our favorite TV shows. Tonight's agenda is to synch our calendars for the next several months and to plan out vacations- might not sound like romance to you, but to me it feels like true poetry. I love that man.
