Great Blog! I also love American Idol, we just have to wait two days longer to get it here (Remember?) Also, love Jon&Kate. We were getting that up until a couple of weeks ago on Sky, but now can't find it. I want it back.
OOO...Payless! I sure miss it. Shoes are so expensive over here,
Love this post...
I may steal it and do it on my blog.
Brad's job is on my prayer list this week.
If you figure out the family devotions with Dad thing let me know. We've tried various things with little to no success. I just can't figure it out when we have such limited time with Daddy home in the evening. What's a girl to do? I sure hope you figure it out, then I can just steal your idea.
I echo Beth...only if you can figure it out without dad let me know. We can't even find a time...with teens, we're scattered everywhere. This has always been a challenge for me.
