		<description>I love your &quot;blog titles&quot;....cute. 

It&#039;s been a while since I&#039;ve read blogs, but I always try to check back in with yours. I enjoy it. I hope you feel the inspiration you are looking for with it soon. 

Great new background (though I&#039;m not sure how new it is - LOL). 

What a blessing your in-laws are to give you that break in the midst of the activity.  Sounds like you had a nice balance of alone time, couple time, down time and productive time.</description>

		<description>About that Calvin &amp; Hobbes:  I&#039;ve often heard it referred to, and now refer to it myself, as &quot;The homeschooler&#039;s dirty little secret.&quot;  :)</description>

		<description>Love the storybook titles!  So creative!

I totally understand about bloggy un-inspiration.  I&#039;ve been feeling a lot of that lately.  But I learned that I  can write/blog about whatever is on my mind or heart because, well, it&#039;s my blog.  I cannot write for my audience, whomever they might be.  I have to write for myself.  And also, no pressure.  If I miss a day of blogging, oh well.  

Life is busy.  We need to keep our priorities in check.  God first, then hubby, then kids, then everything else.  

Hugs to you, Kathy!  Have a blessed weekend!</description>

		<description>What a blessing!  So glad that you had some relaxation and accomplished something to boot.

I can relate to your blogging dilemma.  For me I often have great ideas, but never follow through with them.  Then other times I&#039;m convinced that I should give up blogging altogether and concentrate on the life around me.  It&#039;s one of those, &quot;Lord, what would You have me do/write? &quot;  Blogging in many ways is a great outlet me, but if it&#039;s just for me, than I need to be able to give it up if God would lead.  

I enjoy your blog for what it is- a picture of your family and God&#039;s work in and through you all.  I appreciate seeing your older kids and how they relate to you and your husband.  They&#039;re just a step ahead of mine and it encourages me to see where, by God&#039;s grace, we are headed, too.  No matter what you decide, thanks for being real.</description>
