Women Bible Studies?

Does anyone have suggestions for a good woman's bible study?  I'm looking for something that anyone, new or old Christian, would benefit from, and I won't to stay away from video studies.  I would rather choose something I know other people enjoyed.

Gardening

Picked Beans

Broken Beans

Cooked Beans

Fried Squash 

Yes, we are gardening.  Rusty wants to go agrarian or something.  He is planning to turn our whole yard into a garden or farm.   Who knows?...  But anyway, we have successfully grown and cooked green beans and squash.  We hope to get some corn, tomatoes, and okra too, though our efforts haven't been totally fruitful.  This process really helps you understand all those verses about trusting in the Lord to water and bring forth the crop.  Growing a garden should help us live healthier lives, but all the grease we have to use to fry it isn't helping.  

Big Girl Bed

We have moved Caleigh to her big girl bed.  We worried she would try to escape, but in a week, she has only gotten up by herself once.  Most of the time, she yells, "Mommy," and then when I get in there, she says, "Caleigh get down now."  She hasn't gotten used to sleeping under sheets, and sometimes she wants to cover up with the blanket from brother's bed.  Now we're just waiting for Elisha to sleep through the night consistently before we put him in the bedroom with her.  He is sleeping between 8 and 10 hours every night, but that means he is waking up at about 6:00, and I really don't want Caleigh to start waking up then.

The Rest of June

The first walk in the double stroller.  Elisha looks like he is about to ride a roller coaster that goes upside down.

This marks the end of colic, I hope and pray.  Life has been much better the last week or so.  

Praise the Lord.

Playground Recovery from Doctor Visit

We took Caleigh and Elisha both to the doctor for well checkups.  Caleigh's two year.  Elisha's two month. They both had shots.  Caleigh didn't shed a tear, and Elisha screamed bloody murder for about 10 seconds.  Caleigh was in the 95% for her height and 70% for her weight.  Elisha was in the 85% for weight and 75% for height.  I assume that Caleigh will top out early and won't grow any more like I did.  And thankfully, everyone can now rest assured that Elisha is eating enough since he is gaining a great deal of weight.  They said I feed him too much.  I'm not sure how I'm suppose to correct that though since he nurses.  

 

Caleigh running across the playground

Rusty helped Caleigh climb the BIG slide.  By the end of our visit, she was climbing it by herself even if she had to topple over a few big boys to go down it.

Another Sunday Morning

Caleigh is wearing her bee outfit Nana bought her for her b-day.  She has her Buzz lazer gun and brother's bottle.  I guess she was ready to shoot all the LGMs in Sunday School while feeding a baby.  Elisha is prepped out in his Baby Gap stripped shirt.  He couldn't wear his pink shirt. Doesn't he look so grown up?

Caleigh's Second Birthday - Fish Party

I've always wanted birthdays to be special and memorable for my children, so I planned Caleigh a fish party because fish are one of her current obsessions.  I realize she probably won't remember this party, but she will be able to look back at the pictures and videos.   With both of our families and our church family, the guest list reached over seventy people.  When I started planning, I didn't realize I was planning such a big blowout. Thankfully, I enlisted the help of my family.  My dad and granddad fried fish, both grandmothers helped prepare side dishes, and my mom and aunt came and helped me clean the house pre-party.  Right as the party started it began to hail and rain, but it stopped shortly.  We ended up with at least fifty people, and about fifteen of them were children under twelve.  After the fish fry, the kids dug for plastic fish in Caleigh's new sandbox.  Then, they went "fishing" to win gummy worms, saltwater taffy, and fish crackers.  They also swam in the little pool, which Caleigh later walked through in her dress, and the big kids played with water balloons.  All I can say is it seemed everyone had fun (making a big mess).   

 I made Caleigh a rainbow fish birthday cake and cupcakes in ice cream cones, both easy and cheap (typical of me). 

Granna helped take care of Elisha.  He didn't have as much fun as the other kids though.

 Caleigh wanted to play with ever gift right after she opened it.  I wondered if we would ever get through the present time.  Thankfully, everyone was patient with her and her whining.

If Merriwether and Annika (Kikka as Caleigh says) had not helped, we might still be opening presents.  We should have offered to give them a few of the presents because, as Bob said as she opened her presents, we're working on another yard sale.
