One week at a time.

- reading: through the Bible - weeks 11 and 12, and the newest book by Frank Peretti, for review purposes.
- organizing: the master closet
- decluttering: the linen closet - out with the old: sleeping bags, blankets, sheets, and pillow cases
- watching: Hoarders with Jordan - makes me want to clean and de-clutter!
Sunday . . .
- Jordan and I deep cleaned the living room, rearranged again and started on the mudroom.
- Bo took a long nap - he has a stuffy nose and is coming down with a cold.
- I had some nice one on one time with Elli while Bo took his nap. We had lunch together and did some Sonlight - started Week 9.
- Elli washed her bike.
- I organized my work table and worked on my Project Life album a little (I thought I would get lots done on it this week, but this was the only day I got anything done! Thought I would blog too, but didn't!)

| My guess is she is trying to talk Malachi into coming home with us. |
 |
| Malachi - trying to decide if he will come home with us or stay with Pop. It was such a hard decision! |
Elli and I had a really good week together, but she really missed Malachi! He ended up coming home and they argued the whole weekend!
