Hand me downs!

Ok - today was fun- I think - still not over. I went to work and encountered a question that I can not answer - yes - this does happen - even to me. The jury is still out on this question - need help from one of the partners on that one. I did accomplish quite a bit and tomorrow looks promising.

The boys and I came home in search of three things. My bible, watch and Liam's winter clothing for Noah. Well score on the clothing front - but bombed big time on the others. Actually, I have been in search of these items for quite some time now and I am most bumbed about my Bible. Why is that when it is the easiest thing to locate and buy. Because it has those notes. You know - the notes you make during that particularly poignant sermon or quiet time or study. Those notes are priceless. So - take note - if you do not have your name and address or some form of contact info in your Bible - do so now. Because you do not want to be me - lost without my swoard. I have been using one of Mike's old ones and it is not the same. I have had it since 95 and it is actually in my maiden name. Too fun! I have faith it will show up one of these days. Darn if my memory fails me as to where it might be.

Anyway - back to the clothes. I was in the attic dropping storage bins to my children below when I had a thought. What if our parents did this too? I am sure they did, but at what point did they finally give it up and sell or donated the stuff. Have you asked. I am at that crossroads now - do I start to give away the boy's stuff that they have outgrown or do I hold on to it in case? That is a very loaded question - so I will not go there. Anyway - all is done and Noah has a few clothes to wear this winter - YEAH. I was hoping Liam and he could share some clothes. Thank the Lord for Texas and our relatively temperate climate.

Well - off to feed the kids and to Bible study - with my hand be down Bible and Noah wearing a hand me down shirt!
