Happy Belated Earth Day

Justus had school yesterday, and in honor of Earth Day, the kids took home Coleus seeds to plant and grow. Justus, Titus, and I planted the seeds today...we'll have to see about the "growing" part:) (There were 3 whole seeds in the packet along with others that had been crushed.) I watched "Oprah" today, and I have to say I was pretty floored by the segment on all of the trash in the ocean. I wouldn't consider myself a very green person, but I do try to do some green things. After watching this show, however, I felt pretty convicted about the amount of trash we put out as a human race and am compelled to do something about our carbon footprint.

Well, we are drowning in snot, mucous, and phlegm here at the Frye house. We have all been blessed with stuffy noses, disgusting coughs, and watery eyes. Don't come near!!! haha We will most likely be watching a lot of TV today, which is good timing...Today is "Movie Monday" for Justus and me. Pray for us, and especially for Derek with his finals this week!!!!! Meanwhile, here's some recent pics of Eli:)... Eli playing with Nugget (or the other way around:) Getting HUMONGOUS for his little bathtub!! I love the hoodie towels! Eating the shower curtain while getting dressed Hanging out with Taylor

I felt so frustrated/defeated/mad. I'm still awaiting her call back, but in the meantime, I had to share today's reading from Jesus Calling (which was perfect timing as usual!)... "I am calling you to live a life of thankfulness...The basis for your gratitude is My sovereignty...When you criticize or complain, you are acting as if you think you could run the world better than I do. From your limited human perspective, it may look as if I'm mismanaging things. But you don't know what I know or see what I see...I have designed you to live by faith, not by sigh
