A Charming Day

This Saturday the older girls and I met Cinderella and Prince Charming! One of the productions in our town square this summer is Cinderella. In preparation there was a "Tea with Cinderella" at the community center. The girls had a great time dressing up. Eliza's costume was complete with one missing glass slipper (we could only locate 1 in our unpacking mess!).

Eliza turns 6 and learns how to...

Just watch:

Home Sweet......Home?

Haven't posted in a month due to an average work week of 65+ hours, and the exhaustion of moving. But we're finally all here together in our new house. A place we plan to be for quite a while. So start saving those frequent flier miles! We've got plenty of room for visitors. If we fill up the bedrooms, you can always pitch a tent in the forest 20 yards away. Here's some pics from our builder. We'll update later with more/better shots. (Hint: to see all the photos, click on the image. It'll take you to a new window with the original image.) You can see the front of the house, the screened in porch on the left, and one of our 4 rocking chairs on our large front porch. All that's missing is a pitcher of lemonade and some animated animals singing Zippadee-Do-Da.

Day 2 & 1 (Why I love Jenny)

I love Jenny because she's loyal to her family. Ours, and the one she grew up in. She's a good friend and listener to friends and family who call to share their excitement and their burdens. It's no wonder our phone never seems to stop ringing. People love to talk to Jenny because she's such a gracious listener and sympathizer. Hmmm.....maybe we should charge for her therapeutic services?

I also love Jenny because she tries so hard to make other people (me) happy. Her plans don't always work out the way she might have hoped. But there is no question that she puts a lot of thought and effort into doing things she thinks will make others happy. If it's the thought that counts, she never has to worry.

Day 3 (Why I love Jenny)

I love Jenny for her constant love and concern for our girls. Somehow she's able to stay on top of what each of our girls needs, when their next appointment is, who's birthday party is coming up, who needs what new clothes, and who has a talk to prepare for Primary. Her love for our kids is wonderfully obvious.
