Looking Back

Wow summer began with a bang. It started out with this….

(only a summer cut, I was promised it will all be grown out by the time school begins)

and the week ended with my oldest receiving his learners permit.

Next week my youngest will be attending our church’s VBS, the women heading it up have put so much of their time in making everything perfect. It is going to rock!!

A couple of announcements…

1. Serious.Magazine has a new issue out. There are some great articles in there to read.

Serious.Life Magazine

2. Did you see this contest? It would mean the world to some people close to me if you read it.

3. Those who have WordPress, don’t fear the upgrade. The biggest difference I have noticed is with the widgets. It is nicely organized. Oh it does make searching for themes easier. But seriously Thesis is the best…I give you more details about Thesis on my community page.

<—— community page located over there

4. We will begin “Friday Revelation” every Friday now, here are some ground rules to read before the fun begins.

Ok now on to some wonderful links I read this week (due to having company I admit I did not do as much reading as I would have liked). I am going to select some wonderful links from my blogroll. If you link to me, let me know (as long as your blog is family friendly) I will link back.

    So do you have a Birds and Bees story? Are you prepared?

    I too was very close to my grandfathers, so Debbie’s story about her grandfather touched my heart.

    I am a sucker for twins and have a heart for people who deal with infertility. I have twin nephews and my sister traveled the painful road of infertility, but sometimes like my sister found out (and I realize not all stories end this way)…there can be wonderful blessings after a painful struggle.

    I am dreaming Red, White, & Blue. When those colors come out, that means our family will be heading north here soon. Can’t wait!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Thanks for the photo Ian Britton

  • As you can tell, I'm a bit behind in my blog reading Lori. Thanks for the link to my Grandpa story! I'll have to do another post on what happened after I published that story. I now have several "new relatives". They read the post when they did a Google search on my maiden name; Sumstad. I have a great story to share. Maybe on Wednesday's post I'll do it since I'm enjoying that meme.

  • Hello Lori:
    I just came across your blog on the blogfrog widget on my page, and I'm so glad I did. We have a great deal in common.

    I'm surrounded by testosterone, too . . . four boys. My oldest is sixteen and is more than ready to get his license, but I'm not ready yet. He also has a Mohawk, but he's had it for a year, now. It started out being a summer cut, though. LOL

    I would like to invite you to participate in Blog it Forward, explained on my blog. You seem like a very inspirational person, which is what Blog it Forward is all about. Please feel free to stop by and sign up.

    Mom's Fortress of Solitude

    Take care,

    Angela

  • I take it you don't particularly like his new haircut? LOL

    It's a real show stopper when your oldest gets his driving permit - everything changes very quickly from that point onward. But after you get over the shock, it's kind of nice when one of your kids can run errands for you. And for at least the first several months, they're so excited about driving, they don't even mind! That changes quickly too. :-)
