Crazy week...

It has been a crazy week to say the least.

We were in the midst of 'Firestorm 2007'. Thankfully, no one we know/love was directly effected by the fires-there were a few evacuations, but no losses! Praise the Lord.

School was out all week due to poor air quality and shifting winds/flames.

By Friday, the wonderful community response teams had the fires mostly under control. We enjoyed the beach on both Friday and Saturday night. We had 'the lowest tides in months', so David was eager to go detecting. His friend, Chuck, met us on Saturday night and brought his Coinmaster detector for Jarrett to use...he was thrilled - and even found some treasure, $0.12! David found a some treasure, too. Of course, I took some photos! :)

Things appear to be returning to normal ... and now we are getting ready for the holidays! YEAH!

Life

I am amazed how life 'fills' with so many things.

I have learned (the hard way) not to over commit, so I am not rushing through life ... but I am still involved in so much. They are all good things, but I need to remember to maintain a proper balance of 'doing' and resting. While I am not overwhelmed with all I (we) do, I also need to schedule down time.

So, rather than spend 1/2 hour listing out our recent adventures, I will title it 'LIFE' and go snuggle with my boys for awhile ... and rest.

God bless you, always.
