and i got my 3rd installment of Lord of the Rings on Widescreen DVD today YAY. I have the other 2 on VHS, but this last one just had to be on DVD and it was on sale. I will probably end up getting the whole trilogy on DVD eventually, but this works for now.

My son got his brighter vision package finally. It has seashells and a unit about ocean life. sweet! The package also included a green sparkly gel pen and a devotional expression book called "A Mother's Joys: Loving Reflections". Here is an excerpt.

As a mother I must faithfully, patiently, lovingly, and happily do my part-- then quietly wait for God to do His.
