It has been a glorious day - I ran, worked out with weights, and went to church! Doug even ran with me!
I am thinking some potatoe soup sounds good!
Anyone have a good recipe?

This Weather......
Ummm-mmmmmm I love this cool weather! I could really go for it being in the 70's ALL the time. Even though I am a bit on the cold nature side, I could live in a world that feels like this every morning and then slightly warms up with the suns rays.

Random Update - Just to say Hello from Us
Hi Everybody - or at least Barbie ( i know you read these) and it warms my heart because you seem to have such fond memories of your boys and I would like the same one day!
Just a brief update - Our very own Dougie Springer is being casted for Quarterback role on the Jr Pro football team! He was pretty excited to get that news, even though he really wanted to be running back. I think he has tremendous speed but right now he has to concentrate on "beefing" up. He is already eating us out of the house!
Emma is running cross country. eeehhh - she could take it or leave it. Her comment, "it's too much running" I asked her what she thought it would be? haha -
Speaking of running, we held our 2nd annual Bird dog break away this past weekend. The rain stopped for the day, and close to 200 people showed up to run! What a great fund raiser for the Center for New Beginnings - it is our local center to help with autism and general tutoring. Check it out http://nbeginnings.org/
Lukee poo has been a little under the weather with tonsillitis and recurring fevers, but he is such a sweetie, you would never know he felt bad. He thinks he should get to play football with Dougie. He puts on Dougie's helmet and practice jersey and runs and runs and runs around the house. Reminds me of Forrest Gump. haha
Doug and I are just moving right along as the parents of these three rowdy youngens - and loving every minute of it!
Hope everyone is doing great!
Love to you all!

Dougie - A Growing Boy
One Random Day After School Last Week......
Lori picks kids up from school. We go to the bakery for an after school snack. (Wonderful homemade goodies)
Dougie - Can I get 2 choclate covered donughts?
Lori - No, just 1. 2 has too much sugar.
Dougie - Ok, thank you.
We get home, Dougie ate his donught.
Dougie - Can I have a bowl of cereal now?
(Keep in mind he likes raisin nut bran.)
Lori - Sure, Hey - Did you eat all your lunch today?
Dougie - Yes mam. I ate it ALL. (Turkey sandwich, grapes, chips, and a yoguart)
Dougie eats 2 bowls of cereal.
Dougie - Ok, I'm ready to go to football practice now. :)
This boy is going to eat us out of the house once he really starts growing and hitting those teen years!

Family Fun Night
Tonight is family fun night at church and I am looking forward to it.... the youth are playing the men in a game of softball. There has been all sorts of Smack talk going back and forth! It has been quite humorous. We shall see.......
Other than that, I am soooo tired. Physically and emotionally - I took a nap on Saturday only to have Luke waking me up after one hour. He was directly in my face wispering "mommy, time to get up" Now he is the best nap taker ever - three hours, no problem... I just knew I was good for a three hour nap myself..I guess that is what I get for letting him nap in our bed with me.
So much to do outside, but it has been raining. So I can't put out weed killer, trim the shrubs or any of that stuff.
I am enjoying the weekend, only to return to reality tomorrow.

Questions/Trust
Are you ever just curious as to what is in store when you know God is doing something large. He sets the stage, clears the runway, opens the doors......... but in our human minds we cannot begin to understand what is going on. I keep getting hung up in Romans 8 during Bible readings lately......
Romans 8:26-28 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don't know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God's own will. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
Blessings,
