I think I have totally abandoned my blog! It is too much updating the other one and keeping house, schooling the kids and having a busy schedule...so, for those of you who only use this as a launching pad to other blogs I will keep it up but don't expect to ever see this page change again! Unless of course I get so much free time on my hands that I am at a loss as to what to do.
YEAH, like that will ever happen!!

Lindsay Groen
Here is a prayer request for those of you who have not received this. Lindsay and her family are in need of prayer. I will not write any more about her I will let you read it on her own blog that her Grandfather writes many times a day. Keep checking it. Write on their wall to encourage them. God is in the business of miracles, let's see one here.

good cookin'
did that title catch ya? OK, so I am not a huge poster anymore! sorry...too much going on I guess. Life is extremely busy. I will get to that in just a minute but right now you are wondering why that title, right?? well I have been in such a slump and not knowing what to cook for dinner anymore I am tired of the same old same old. I think my family is too! I headed to the library and picked up a few new cookbooks to see what I could find out there. Good food, fast food, and stuff that EVERYONE would like (we have a few picky eaters!!) Well, here is what I found
I must say that it is inexpensive as well. We have a big family and finding yummy meals that don't cost an arm and a leg is a good thing!
What is it I like best about these 30 minute meals?? I can hand the cookbook to one of the kids tell them to choose a recipe that appeals to them, we figure out what we need from the grocery store and it is their meal to make for dinner one night. I thin that counts for home schooling right? ;) Megan, Betsy and Abby have all had their hand in the pot and are enjoying cooking as much as I have. Phil is enjoying these new dinners that I would have never tried if I didn't check this book out from the library. Oh and by the way, I was singing the praises of this cookbook to a friend of mine (who has the book and I did not know!) well, she picked one up for me and now I have my very own copy of it!!
Well, that is it about cookbooks! Why did I share this you may be asking well, I will say it is because many people I know are looking for new and exciting recipes. So many of us are in a "rut". Now I think I may have gotten you out of it!! :) enjoy!!
As to what is going on here and why are we so busy. If you don't read our other blog. Wilson's to Guatemala on the sidebar. We are under contract with the house, we will close in the end of May, and we will be out shortly after that. God is so good! I can't wait to see what he has planned for us!
now, go check out this book and try some new meals!! :)

ahhh....New Hampsha
The impression of the Atlanta-born commedian about NH.
Jeff Foxworthy on New Hampshire
If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 36 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will swim by, you might live in New Hampshire .
If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights a year because Mt. Washington is the coldest spot in the nation, and Plymouth gets more snow than any other major city in the US, you might live in New Hampshire.
If your local Dairy Queen is closed from October through May, you might live in New Hampshire .
If you get 131 inches of snow in a week and you comment that 'winter's finally here', you might live near Laconia in New Hampshire .
If you instinctively walk like a penguin for six months out of the year, you might live, bundled up, in New Hampshire .
If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance, and they don't work there, you might live in New Hampshire .
If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of his forehead, you might live in New Hampshire .
If you have worn shorts and a parka on the same day, you might live in New Hampshire .
If you have had a lengthy phone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you might live in New Hampshire .
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE NEW HAMPSHIRER WHEN:
"Vacation" means going South past Manchester for the weekend.
You measure distance in hours.
You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.
You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back again.
You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard, without flinching.
You install security lights on your house and garage and leave both unlocked.
You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend/wife knows how to use them.
You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.
Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction.
You can identify a southern or northern accent.
Down South to you means Concord .
Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new shed.
You go out for a fish fry every Friday.
Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.
You find 10 degrees "a little chilly." and 55 is shorts weather.
You actually understand these jokes, and you forward them to all your New Hampshire friends and to those who used to live here and left. -- (chickens).

more snow!
I think I have lost count at how many snow days Anna has had. Yesterday when we were driving around after church we were talking about the snow that we have had this year. More that 2 feet when we were all said and done. I think that was all before Christams too. Yesterday was almost bare ground thanks to the rain and 60* weather that we have had as of late! Well...more snow today! It is so beautiful to look at and for the kids to enjoy making snowmen and sledding down the great hill we have! I just need to hav ehtem understand that when they get their snow gear on they need to stay outside for more that 5 minutes!!! any hints on that one? :-) So, as I type this they are eating their pancakes (a snowday special) and then they are going to get outside and PLAY!!! maybe we will call it school. Enjoy the snow and if you are in a warm climate well...enjoy it! :-)
