Fingerprint Friday

My youngest baby on his first birthday last week. He didn't care too much for the cake itself, but boy did he like the frosting!!!



There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:
I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know its true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God

So look around you and see where YOU can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Where do you see them? Here's how to join in.

Fingerprint Friday

With all the rain we've been having lately, "Smurf villages" (as my kids call them) are popping up everywhere- in the lawn, the flowerbeds, the flowerpots. They're actually getting to be quite an annoyance! The other day from the kitchen window I spotted something in the flowerbed out of the corner of my eye. I had to go investigate. But as I got closer- Oh, it's just another "Smurf village"! I continued to walk towards it and take a closer look. They're actually pretty cool looking and it made me realize that sometimes I need to just slow down and enjoy all the little things in life- even these crazy little annoyances!

Almost ONE!!

I haven't posted pics of my little guy in quite some time, and with his first birthday just around the corner (4 days to be exact) I thought I'd give an update. He took his first step at 10 months old, and it took 2 weeks until he was actually walking with no crawling anymore! And as they say, the rest is history, there's been no stopping this kid...







Mmmm, can't beat the taste of a little plastic, rubber and dirt all mixed together! :)



He's always smiling, laughing and being silly!




He fell (actually it was thanks to his older sister) and got a boo-boo on his head as well as a black eye, the poor little guy! It didn't slow him down much though!

Dress-Up Days

Pretty much everyday is dress-up day at our house. When my girls aren't in their skivvies, they are either in a princess dress (Snow White, Cinderella, etc.) or in what they call their fancy clothes...







Gimme some sugar baby!!


Being fancy is tiring work...


Some days they think Jaxon needs to be a little fancy too!


And some days they just get plain old silly and put everything on that their little hands can get a hold of...meet the bag lady! :)

Fancy Feathers

I have this sweet set listed on ebay right now. It includes the top and wide-leg pants that can be made in capri or full-length. I can also make a coordinating peasant top to go underneath for the cooler climates if interested.

School Time!!

My girls both started "School" on Tuesday. Sophia's in pre-school 4 days a week and Natalie (whose not even 3 yet) started a Mother's Day Out Program 2 days a week. They were both so excited to wear their backpacks (Sophia has all the princesses on hers and Natalie has Tinkerbell), they were being quite silly that morning.


Sophia's very outgoing and will talk to anyone and everyone, she makes friends wherever she goes, so I wasn't too worried about her. In fact, she was so excited she woke up at 6:00am and couldn't go back to sleep- she just layed in bed watching until the sun slowly started to peek through the blinds, then it was "mom, mom, the sun's coming up, it's time for school!"


Natalie on the other hand is very shy and will NOT talk to anybody. When we went to meet the teacher the week before, my leg was her best friend. I was prepared for an absolute meltdown (from both of us)...

But she was so excited that morning, and to my suprise, she walked right into the room like a big girl, hung her backpack up, grabbed a toy and went and sat down. When I said I was leaving all I got was "OK", I said have fun "OK". WOW! It makes my heart smile, I am SOOO happy she had fun!! This is what I got when I asked her to smile~




I had to pass back by Sophia's class on the way out the door. She was already settled in and coloring her first picture~


I thought I was going to be an absolute wreck that day, but it went so smoothly, they both had a blast and not a single tear was shed, from any of us! :) It was a good day!
