I don't deserve readers!

Thanks for hanging in there with us. A number of blogs I follow do something every Friday called 7 Quick Takes and I'm going to give that a try! None of it may interest you and that's okay. 
1. Simon has a stomach bug resulting in vomiting. Last week it was diarrhea. Poor little guy needs to kick this mess!
2. My aunt and cousins are holding their 5th annual Roman Barten Memorial Benefit Breakfast on March 18th in New Prague, MN.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
-Pray for Ashley, the Kes family and for the success of this breakfast.
-Join us on Sunday, March 18 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the New Prague KC Hall.
-Spread the word! Tell as many people as possible about the breakfast and/or donation opportunities.
-Volunteer – email romanbartenbreakfast@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer.
-If you cannot attend, monetary donations will be gratefully accepted (all donations are anonymous). Donations can be made out to “Ashley Kes Benefit Fund” and sent to Frandsen Bank & Trust, PO Box 200, Lonsdale, MN 55046 or sent to any Frandsen Bank & Trust.
Roman Barten lived for his 11 children and taught by example to reach out to others. Roman died in 2006 from a cancerous brain tumor. Since then, the Barten family has continued his legacy of service to the community by hosting a pancake and sausage breakfast to benefit a family/child in need of prayers and financial support.
3. Although this winter hasn't been too bad snow and cold wise, I'm getting the itch for spring. No spring break for us this year 
I am longing no, LONGING for a walk on the beach.
4. Are you on Pinterest? Does it suck your time as much as Facebook does? Yeah, me too.
5. My husband deserves a reward. Between Simon's illness, Maddy's stomach bug, and Natalie's lice (there, I said it--I haven't wanted to share that piece of news) he's had someone home with him for almost 2 weeks straight. Lice is worse than potty-training, and I thought THAT was bad.
6. Jim and I are both getting Invisalign to straighten out our teeth.
7. Did I share Simon's adorable school picture with you yet??
Have a great weekend!

"Motherhood is about raising and celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that he is exactly the person he is supposed to be. And that, if you're lucky, he just might be the teacher who turns you into the person you are supposed to be." ~The Water Giver~
A prayer
Lord,
Please help me remember that Your love is always greater than my disappointments and Your plans for my life are always better than my dreams.
Amen.
