Back On the Wagon

 It's been almost a year and half since my last Multitude Monday post. Pitiful. So, I am attempting to get back on the wagon, and once again look for those little things that add up to the one big thing that equal  Life blessed abundantly by God. 101-125, gathered together, sometimes repeated, and recorded here:
 101.) Sunday evening visits with the in-laws, that produce exhausted children and sticky watermelon grins

102.) Flushed cheeks on the current baby

103.) Nearly falling off of the elliptical while worshiping to this

104.) Windows and doors open to welcome the morning warmth and breezes


 105.) Seeing the thrill on little faces each time they go down the roller coaster. That it doesn't get old for them

106.) Sleepy good night hugs and kisses


 107.) "I want to wear my watermelon dress today, because we'll be eating watermelon later"


 108.) Mothers day birthday cook-out for a cutie-pie now 2 year old nephew

109.) Seeing with my own eyes how well my niece is doing after her surgery

110.) Over 1,000 people who committed to pray for Claire's surgery, and those prayers being answered

111.) The joy of "new" red cowboy boots


112.) My dad and some of my brothers and sisters coming over one Sunday evening to fish. The pond mucked over 2 days later



113.) Children running back and forth to reel in the line when somebody had a fish, totally believing they caught it themselves



114.) Babies, included too


 115.) Little boys who come down and snuggle up in the morning, even though I'm sweaty and smelly from the elliptical


 116.) My 7 year old bookworm, reading through the Bobbsey Twins as fast as she can

117.) 16 days of school left. I need a break

118.) Homeschooling conference, registered for


 119.) Mop topped little girls with infectious laughs and a wacky sense of humor

120.) B. bringing home flowers "for my beautiful bride"


 121.) My dad and my daughter, remembering all the times he took us kids fishing

122.) Tylenol sinus formula


123.) Ornery, cuddly, aggravating, lovable Beans

124.) Beans who takes cars to bed with him instead of a stuffed animal

125.) The dishwasher, about to be loaded

I LOVE that she is reading Bobbsey Twins! I was just thinking about the Mandie books the other day while washing dishes. I can barely remember anything from that series. I think I'm getting old.

Who is that boy in the second picture? I don't recognize him. Surely, he couldn't be JB? He SURE is cuter than words, whoever he is! ;-)

#111: Those are SOME boots. Panda would be jealous. BIG time.

#115- WhAT?! Exercising when pregnant? You are one of THOSE women? hmph. I much prefer to rationalize naughty treats as "cravings". Perhaps that has something to do with the 30 extra pounds that won't leave me?!

#120- awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

#125- now it is ME who is jealous.

I am always bad at multitude Monday- I really need to at least FINISH. I enjoy so much reading other peoples' and I enjoy so much THINKING about it myself. I don't know why I do not do it more often.

PS. Did you get a really long letter from me recently? I have been having trouble keeping up with who I wrote what to and I remember THINKING about writing you a really long letter but wasn't sure if I actually DID it or not. Let me know. If not- I had better!

Golly, BOTH boys are really looking older! Love your post, love your sweet kiddos, love that you got flowers :-) (those are few and far between round these parts)

PS-Superchick is great for exercising. Maybe, not pregnant!!!
