This Week's Goals

Eva is in love with her new cousin Paisley!  

 Happy Monday friends!  It's time to set some realistic goals for the week.  Sharing my goals gives me such incredible accountability that I always accomplish more in my week.  We just returned home Friday morning after spending three wonderful nights in Washington D.C.  Many of my goals this week will involve getting our home back in order and attending a variety of appointments for Evangeline.  

 This Week's Goals:
  • Attend two therapy appointments and a GI Dr. Appt with Eva this week.  
  • Eva & Eli start Co-Op this week!  I need to finish my Before Five in A Row syllabus and develop a plan for Co-Op days.  We have Co-op days on Wednesdays which is already our busiest day of the week since we attend church in the evenings and help coordinate the dinner.  I’m hoping to develop a smooth plan for Co-Op days this week.  I also need to change our weekly schedule to allow more days spent completely at home.  
  •   Attend a Counseling Conference with my husband.  We both really enjoy conferences and I am really excited about spending some serious time together learning more about how the Gospel speaks into every aspect of our lives.  We have attended a number of conferences at this same church and each one has been phenomenal!  One of my favorite parts is the fact that the church is local to us so we get to sleep at home.  
  • Sew a gift for my niece's birthday.  The kids and I had so much fun picking out fabric last week!  It had been forever since I had been inside a fabric store.  
  • Start sewing a gift for a friend of Eli's.  
  • Read 4 chapters from Counsel From The Cross.  
  • Exercise 3 times.
  • Attend a Ladies' Night Out Fellowship with the women from our church. 
  • Meet Beverly Lewis at our local library.
  • Invite a friend over for a play date.    
  • Write two blog posts this week including a post about Evangeline's recent neurosurgery apt. 
  • Spend an afternoon helping my Grandmother.  
  • Work from home four hours this week.  
  • Here’s to another fun, busy week in the Emerson household. What type of goals do you have for this week?

August Reads

None Like Him: 10 Ways God is Different From Us by Jen Wilkin :  I'm quickly becoming quite the fan of Mrs. Jen Wilkin.  I've been working through her 1 Peter Bible Study this summer and I absolutely loved reading through this book on the attributes of God.  I found myself reminded of so many things and almost felt a sense of relief as I contemplated what God is like.  This book was a delight to read.  I love that there is now a book on God's attributes written especially for women.  Pure awesomeness!  I highly recommend this book for both new believers and those with years of experience.  I also think it would make a great book club book. The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian: This book is one that I have been wanting to read for years and I just never got around to it.  I am so glad that I finally took the time to read and pray through this book!  What better gift could I give my husband the past month than to spend time earnestly praying for him through a

Our First Tent Camping Experience

Earlier in June we embarked on a new adventure.  TENT CAMPING!   Two summers ago we enjoyed a wonderful time camping in a borrowed pop-up camper but this was our first experience sleeping in a tent as a family.  We loaded up our very full van and headed to Land Between the Lakes in Western Kentucky for a new adventure.  It was wonderful.   One of the neatest aspects of our trip was the fact that Nina & Poppy Steve (Brandon's parents) were able to meet up with us!  (They live a good 10 hours away from us so this was a real treat.)  We had so much spending time with them.  We stayed at  Hillman Ferry Campground  and I would definitely stay there again.   Hillman Ferry Campground has a lovely beach with an area roped off for swimming.  The kids enjoyed playing in the sand and I even took them swimming in the lake.  I have been swimming many times in a lake but I think this was my children's first real time swimming in a lake.  (The closest lake to us no longer
