children,children everywhere-writing about a journey

Today was a FULL day. No doubt about it!
But it's tonight I want to talk about.
Tonight it was kid central around here.
With a healthy sprinkling of adults in and out.

I have to say that eleven years ago I never would have seen this coming.
I was never one of those girls who loved babies when I was growing up.
I read.
And read and read.
Books to me were more interesting than babies.

Then I got married and had my own baby.
And I fell in love.
Now there are four little people of all sizes.
And they attract more little people....
And the other little people that come around need to be loved on, and fed and entertained (and sometimes bandaged).
Lots of food with some variety is good.
A first aid kit is good as well.
Some toys and costumes  and good humor are helpful.
Add in some popsicles or cocoa perhaps and lots of love!
Pray. Know how to be firm when needed.
Enjoy and laugh!

tea and cookies


tea and cookies
Chelsea just adores baking and all manner of dainty, girly types of things and so recently we had a young college girl from our homegroup over to bake cookies and drink tea in Proper Dainty Fashion with the Chels.
They had a great time and it was so interesting to watch Chelsea setting up her tea table,paying attention to all the details as she prepared. Lord willing,she has the makings of a fine hostess in her if I do say so myself.

We snuggled around the fire last night and so the dishes never got done... Must go do those soon.
I hear there is rain and sleet headed our way. I will look at yellow things and think about SUN.
Here's to another capricious March day!

re:pizza party last night


To:Julia Charlotte,
Last night I threw a pizza party. Most of the women in my church family came.
It was a good way to hang out together AND eat pizza.
Some of the women are getting married soon.
A lot of them are pregnant.
The topics of conversation were pretty typical.
Happy times!
