We all have them, right?! Good New Year's resolutions and a lot of good intentions. I have learned that making a bunch of resolutions just stresses me out! So, this year, I have a couple "goals" in mind, but I'm not even gonna call them "resolutions". That is such a strict word! Rather, I have goals, fun things I want to do.
I have already been de-cluttering the house, purging unused and unnecessary items, and organizing. It is amazing how much stuff piles up in your house throughout the year! And it is scary how much I enjoy organizing! I keep saying one of these days I will have a career as a professional organizer. ha!
One goal I have for this new year is to keep up with our family's blog page and learn how to navigate the internet better. Maybe this will help keep in touch with family better! I also want to understand the Bible better. Ever read Scripture and not get a word of it? Some passages are very self-explanatory, and others, for me anyway, leave me clueless. I have a good self-help book on discovering the Bible. I went through the book of Daniel last year using the techniques given by Kay Arthur, and I really learned a lot I didn't know. It was interesting. So, now I need to pick a new book and get started... which book to pick? :) There are also several great Bible studies that are fixing to start at our church.
The boys are both growing like weeds, especially Cade. He is doing great in Kindergarten- he is the top reader in his class of 15. His favorite day is "computer day" because he loves to navigate the computer. (He is truly his daddy's boy!) Dalton is into everything and then some. He loves to explore and manipulate things. He also likes to empty containers and re-organize them. (I guess he is truly his mommy's boy!) Cade and Dalton love each other and play well together, most of the time. They are a lot of fun. I will try and post at least several times a week and tell funny stories as they happen...so...
The funny story of the day, and I close this post... Keith was here for lunch and reading an old, hilarious e-mail that my grandma Price had sent me. Keith was laughing so loud and so hard that his face was turning red. Dalton was watching Keith really closely and all of the sudden just busted out laughing. It was the most fake, loudest, funniest thing you've ever seen! Basically, Dalton was mimicking Keith. And when Keith and I laughed at Dalton, he just kept doing it, at that point, for more attention. It was SO FUNNY!
Hope everyone is well and having a great start to the New Year of 2010! God Bless!

Know what you mean about reading and not understanding things in the Bible at times. But, and this is the answer for me being soooo old hee hee,I read more in the Books of the Bible that I understand more! And that is usually in the New Testament!
Love you all,
Grandma
