Puppies

This is only 5 of them. There are two others. :-)

Poor Cardinals, poor poor Cardinals.

1950's Dress

This is a dress that I found on Etsy. I absolutly LOVE it! The only problem is that it was $300, and I don't have $300. I would like to make a dress like this for the ECD ball but I don't have a pattern. I will just have to find something else to do.

Washing Dishes

If you have a dishwasher you are blessed. My fingers are all wrinkly from washing dishes today because our dishwasher is broken. I really admire anyone who does not have a dishwasher and has to do them by hand. I really would like our dishwasher to get fixed or I (being the dishes person this week) will have to wash all the dishes this week by hand and have wrinkly fingers every day. I don't like wrinkly fingers.

Learning that your dog just had 8 unexpected puppies is a pleasant surprise!

Matthew

Matthew dressed-up as Russel from Up. I love this boy.

Matthew: *smells my arm* "You smell like cookies"

Me: "Oh, well that's nice"

Matthew: *smells my arm again* "You smell like daddy, and that's nice too".

Me:"Matthew, who is your favorite??"

Matthew: "Daddy."

Me:" Who else?"

Matthew: "Well, Mommy and then you, and then Jenna and Meredith and then Rebecca."

There's a stirring deep within me
Could it be my time has come?
When I see my precious Savior
Face to face when all is done.

Is that His voice I am hearing?
Come away my precious one
Is He calling me?
Is He calling me?

I will rise up
I'll rise up
I'll bow down
Lay my crown
At His wounded feet

I have so much going on this school year! I am playing volleyball again this year. I made Varsity which is a new adventure for me. I have also auditioned for two different musicals, Seussical and Babes in Toyland. Seussical is a Fine Linen show and will be happening in April. Babes in Toyland is a show by OAT and is their Christmas show. Day School has stared up for this year and Matthew is attending this year. What a big boy he has grown into. He makes me laugh every single day. Life without Matthew would be so boring. I am helping/teaching in a 4 year-old class again this year. This year in school is pretty crazy too. I am a freshman. It's so scary to think that in 4 years I will be going to college. Jenna is also leaving next year. I will miss her so much. God has blessed me so much by giving me Jenna as a sister. I love you Jenna! So, with everything going on in my life I have no idea when I will have the time to blog. I will try to post as much as possible.
