Sweet Tabitha

To celebrate Tabitha's birthday, I invited teens and ladies her age to join us to play laser tag and to go to a Mexican dinner. We had so much fun all together! This sure is a competitive bunch. I have to say laser tag is not my strong point! 

And then we feasted on Mexican and talked and laughed and of course ended the night with ice cream.☺️

I am so thankful for the Godly daughter in law that I have. She is the perfect helpmeet for Joshua. She really does complete him and they are such a wonderful team. She is a godly, fun, prepared mother. So thankful to share the ministry and this life with her! 💕💕💕

 

To Blog or not to blog....

As you may (or may have not 😉) noticed, my blog has started to grow quiet. I seem to be posting less and less. I've been asking myself why. 

Too busy? Maybe

Too many other things going on? Yes

 

Are blogs becoming a thing of the past? Probably 

Things have become busy ministry-wise at VSIBC. Which I love that. But any busier than 9 years ago when we first started? Maybe a little.

There are lots going on with homeschooling my 3 that are still in school. We have changed up school a good bit and it takes more of my time. That and having 2 high schoolers and one middle schooler takes lots more effort. And I am loving that! 

We are also working hard at having a successful little hobby in Storybook Farms. Our little registered goat business is taking off and we've had fun posting videos on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram showing off our little cuties. Silas and Micah's rabbit business is going well too and hopefully we'll have new babies born in the next week. So taking care of my little budding farm has been fun 🙂

My health has also taken a little bit more effort. Even though things are going well, I'm noticing that things like heat and doing too much, too many days in a row takes a lot out of me so I'm having to pace myself just a little more. 

So I guess these are the reasons why I just haven't been blogging as much.

I've been asking myself lately, "Should I keep posting?'

 But then there comes something that we talk about as a memory and I'm able to go back in my blog and see a post where I posted pictures and shared my heart on a certain thing that happened in our family. It's almost like our own little history book of the Gimenez family. It's times like that that I am thankful that I took the time to blog.

Or there are times when I was post a devotional type post and the feedback or a personal email I get are such an encouragement to me. 

So I've been rolling around in my head. Should I still blog?

For now the answer is yes. It is definitely my intent to have more posts happening because there's just too many crazy things that happening around here that I want to talk about! So we'll see how it goes and hopefully I'll be keeping up better in the near future.

 

 

Meeting Azariah

 We all love anytime my parents are able to come stop by for a visit! And we knew with the birth of Azariah they would be up soon to come and meet him! They're such good great grandparents!

Our family is growing!

I love how mom and dad are so proud of their family. And love them to pieces!

And as you can see, we all love them too. Victory was very intent on telling Mom a great big story. I wish now I could remember what it was!

And just like that, the visit is over too soon. But I sure do treasure these times!
