We Are So Excited

The Todd family is very thankful and excited. Jon and Ashley Lindahl are moving and my kids have inherited a beautiful bunk bed. Everyone is jumping for joy. My son has wanted a bunk bed since he was little. He has finally gotten his heart's prayer answered. Of course Quin wants his sister to move into his room and he wants the top bunk. Paige also wants to sleep in Quin's room now and she wants the bottom. I guess that will work out ok for a while. We are excited about our new bed and we are also excited because the Lindahl's are moving to Plainfield! New neighbors (in the same town anyway) and new beds. What a fun weekend!!!!!

Ladies Missionary Society

Tonight was our Ladies Missionary Society meeting. I had the privilege of hosting it in our home. The purpose of this meeting is to introduce the ladies to the missionaries and to give them a chance to pray for them together. We also prayed for the needs of the church and the church staff. We prayed for some of the church senior saint and shut-ins too. This was such a neat meeting. We had faithful seasoned Christians, and young adults that were baby Christians that were not even sure what a missionary was. It was such a blessing to see the baby Christians pray out loud for the first time. Seeing new Christians grow in the Lord is one of the most exciting things in the world to me. I was very blessed to see how excited everyone was and I look forward the next meeting. Serving the Lord is so much fun!

Ashley's Volleyball Skirt

Ashley has been so excited because she has gone out for volleyball. But we have had the hardest time finding her culottes for her to play in. What we were looking for was a skirt with shorts (built in) so that when she dives for the ball she is modest. This has been a real challenge. I asked several ladies at church to make them for us and no one has had the time. After lots of energy I finally found a lady on line that can make them. I was delighted. The problem was they were way to short. When we ordered them we gave the on-line person the wrong measurements. I was very frustrated. AND THEN my DEAR friend Rachel came to my rescue. I want to take this chance to tell everyone how wonderful Rachel is to me. She is such a sweet friend. She took the culottes that I ordered on-line and just looked at them and she was able to make Ashley a beautiful pair of culottes. Thank You so much for all you have done for us. YOUR THE BEST !!!! I just thank the Lord for good friends and a church family that is there for me when I need them. Oh by the way, if Ashley would have wanted me to do any sewing she would have been embarrassed by the results. WE LOVE YOU RACHEL!!!!!!!!!

Laundry

It has been quite a week at the Todd household. There is always a lot to be done. This morning I woke up to many loads of laundry. Sometimes this can be overwhelming at least to me. Laundry is not my favorite household chore but of course it needs to be done. I made the comment to my children that today was going to be the day that we get the laundry caught up. My daughter is so cute, she is only three, Paige says "Mommy I can help you with the laundry" And that is exactly what she did. Paige took all the clothes out of the dryer, helped me put the wet clothes in the dryer and then handed me the next sorted load. Now I think that we should teacher her to fold and put it all away.

Quinten is very excited about his Science Fair project. School is going well and we are going to a Home School art class at the library once a month. Quin goes to an art class and Paige goes to story time during that time it is working out well. That is all the time I have for today. I'm thankful for a blessed full life. Hope all is going well for all of you.
