Where do babies come from?

Tonight, at church, Ilda (who teaches Maggie's class at church) told me that Maggie asked where babies come from. Isn't she a little young to ask that question? Ilda told her that Mommies and Daddies know how it happens and she would learn about it when she was older. Jessica said" I know where they come from. Mommies and Daddies sleep really, really close to each other and then the baby pops across to the mommy's tummy". Interesting thoughts.

Also, last night, Maggie helped me prepare lasagna. She usually doesn't like sauce on her noodles, but she was so excited that she made it that she ate 3 helpings of her "masagna". She said that it was the "best masagna ever".

Don't you wish your wife was hot like me...

The air conditioning just froze up.

Okay, here's the deal

A small smattering of my random thoughts:
1. Maggie said, "okay, here's the deal" to me tonight. She was ordering me around about getting her qwamy to her. It was pretty funny.
2. I have so many things that I want to do and I can't find the time/won't organize myself to do them. You know when you come back to your house after a visit away and you see all the things that you have been putting off. That's all the stuff that I see.
3. I was a bit snappy today at maggie. I feel so bad now. She drives me bonkers sometimes. Her mouth never, ever stops. And she lives in "maggie world" where she tunes me out most of the time. She just kind of floats in and out of the real world when it's convenient for her.
4. We swang on the big swing tonight. It was such a nice, cool night with the breeze. She laid in my lap and we talked about how God was pushing our swing with the breeze.
5. I'm trying to catch up on work since I've been on vacation for the past few weeks. I just barely did the minimum of work that had to be done. Now, I have to get busy and get it out of the way so I can have fun.
6.Steven wanted to watch golf all day today for father's day. His requests are such simple ones. It doesn't take much money to make him happy. Just let him have the remote and some golf!
7. This made me want to cry tonight. Maggie was trying on a bathing suit from a hand me down bag. It was so stinking cute. Green with pink polka dots. It was a little small though. She started crying and saying that she looked fat. Oh.my.gosh. Where did she get this? She is not fat at all. Who said that in front of her? Why does she care? UGH!

1 year ago today

We came to Manteca last year on Father's Day to see the church in Manteca. One year ago, Steven was nervously putting the touches on his sermon before he preached this morning. I'm glad we are here. I truly believe that this is where God wants us to be and serve Him.

I gotta run to coffee time!

I fed dinner to 20 people last night!!

My husband called me on the way home from the 14 hour trip home from the San Fran airport. Stop and go traffic and fighting kids in the back seat, I hear him say that 5 bicyclists are going to spend the night at our house tomorrow night. WHAT?!

They actually stayed at the church, but we fed them and some of the faithful Northgate Church crew last night. It was a lot of fun.

Here's an article about them! http://mantecabulletin.com/main.asp?FromHome=1&TypeID=1&ArticleID=58096&SectionID=28&SubSectionID=58

I'm home

Two and a half weeks later, I'm home. It's nice to be home, but I had a blast on vacation!

I have lots to tell and lots of pictures to share, but I'm a little jet lagged right now.

However, I am excited. I got a letter in the mail from Laura. She asked me to be a bridesmaid next year in her wedding. I am really honored!!

I can't wait to share in this day with her. WOOT!
