Family Covenant and Hot Tea

We decided to write a family covenant. It's basically something that lists our priorities and standards and the general direction of our family. It gives us focus to remember what we should be doing and why.

Rick helped me to get a few things done around the house this weekend. There's been so much to do with a new baby and school, so the help was much appreciated.

The new book we'd ordered arrived on Friday, along with a pair of white lace gloves. It is a book by Stacey McDonald called Passionate Housewives Desperate For God. It's quite good. I think keepers at home can use all the encouragement that we can get. (so long as it's the right kind of encouragement ;)) It can be difficult at times, but it is also so fulfilling.

We have discovered that we both really like drinking hot tea. Rick had a sore throat this weekend so he tried drinking tea to soothe it. We bought several new varieties to try and are really enjoying it. It is relaxing and the warmth feels so comforting. It feels nice to drink tea, especially from a pretty cup.

We had to push finishing Jacob's room out until next weekend. But we will finish it then, there isn't much left to do.

Hugs,
