A day in the life.....

 "Man's steps are ordered by the Lord. How then can a man understand his way?" Proverbs 20:24

The above pictures are the sight at the Koeman's.  Yesterday Macy started with a "fummy ache" in her terms.  I brushed it off, when I got home from work she resorted to the couch and I thought, "Hmmmmm this could be real."  Then she vomited.  Yup, it's real.  In the middle of the night Ash decided to get in on the action.  Cuz sharing is such a nice thing to do.  I was up most of the night, which is not a big deal. We use to do this all the time.  Makes me appreciate the full nights of sleep. Steve ventured home from the fields around 4am.  At 6am I got out of bed. I thought I better be prepared for whatever comes my way today.  My devotions read, "Man's steps are ordered by the Lord. How then can a man understand his way?" Proverbs 20:24  So true, it then went on to say, since our steps are ordered  by the Lord, we need to calm down and thank God that we are right where he wants us to be. 
I am so glad I read that this morning.  That gave me good perspective as I was driving down the highway with 2 kids puking in the back seat (in buckets, no worries), while taking another one to an orthodontics appointment that ("I CAN'T miss it mom"), as another child sang Away in a manger over and over and over.  Ahhhhh yes, this is where God wants me be, so I will do this with a smile on my face.  However, I won't deny, I was happy when the car ride was over.  I think the girls are much more content on the couch.  And singy girl has more space to use her vocals.
I must say, up until last night, we were pretty low key.  Planting has been going great!  The rain last night may have delayed them a little, but Steve got a little bit of sleep and hopefully they rain was just enough.  Spring for the Koeman girls has been going very well.  I decided on no rec sports this spring and my children didn't protest.  When you end up with practices every night and games, I find it hard to manage.  My priority is my family and hubby, so this has worked for us, for this season.  I told the girls I think we might skip soccer this fall as well, they haven't argued yet (I know for you sports fanatics you can't imagine :)  It's ok, I'm just trying to keep it simple, and happy :)

 Happy Spring to everyone.  I can't express how HAPPY I am to have warmer weather.  It just boosts every one's spirits and the girls talk about camping every day.  Between camping, sports camps, summer camps, and drivers training (oh boy!) I am afraid summer will fly by.  Enjoy every minute God gives us, and smile, because we are right where he wants us to be!
