Kaylinism VI

The other day on the way home from school I told Kaylin that we were going to go over to Tucker's (friend) house that evening. She responded by saying "I've got a headache and I think I'm going to have it for a really long time." This was funny in itself but I felt the need to dig. I asked her "What does that mean?" To which she responded with the following question. "What does it mean when you get headaches?"

Oh my goodness - I laughed hard. Where does she come up with these zingers. Although she didn't really understand the zinger. I kept laughing and she kept asking me to tell her what it meant. It looses some of its humor when I have to explain that having a headache actually means your head hurts. Someday she'll figure out some people just use it as an excuse (or then again maybe she already gets that). BTW - She always has fun playing with Tucker and she did that evening as well.

Mid-October update

Yes - I know it's been awhile since I've written anything in my blog. James, Kaylin and I have been gone. Last week we took a drive out to Lake Havasu, Arizona to visit family. It was my first time in AZ (other than the Phoenix airport) and I looked forward to the new adventure. Although I think Arizona has it's own kind of beauty it is definitely not a place I'd want to live (vacation maybe but not live). I am a girl that loves and needs color (green especially). I suppose having lived in the lushness of Washington spoiled me a bit. Now everywhere I go just looks likes its lacking in trees and flowers. Upon our return to Colorado - we were struck with the beauty of the changing leaves. Yellow, orange, red and green everywhere we looked. They are beautiful. I just wish they would stay that way throughout winter. I find it to be a sad look when there are no leaves on trees. Oops - I wondered off the subject. Back to the vacation. One day we went out on the Lake in the boat. It was Kaylin's first time on a boat. You should have seen her face. I'd show you a picture if we hadn't forgotten to take our camera. Her mouth was wide open (as were her eyes) and her arms up in the air as the wind blew at her face and hair. She loves being in the blowing wind for some reason. The water was a little cold but that didn't stop her from playing in it. She threw rocks, found seashells and simply splashed around. It was a joy to watch her excitement. Sadly for a good portion of our trip Kaylin had a fever and cough. I tried not to panic over fears of H1N1. Thankfully, we gave her Tylenol and her fever left. We're still working on the cough though. A few days later she got another adventure. We took the 4-wheelers out for a ride. Kaylin (with helmet on) got to ride with her Aunt Lee and I took my turn on one by myself. I could maybe get used to having some of those. Vacation is over now and we must get back to reality. Ahh - bummer.

40 Days of Prayer Update

I just wanted to take a moment and give an update on how my 40 days of praying is going. I've actually completed my first set. Today marks the start of another 40 days and another group of people to pray for. I have felt really good about praying for others in this way. Better yet I have managed to stick to this plan. My main goal has been to pray for God's blessings upon each person on my list. The best part is knowing that whether or not I can see (or hear of) how God is blessing them - I know without a doubt God is working in their lives. It's all bonus when I hear their stories of how they have been blessed...and stories I have heard!! Praise God. He is faithful and great.
