Momma!

A note about previous blogs. Hallie does say "momma" now, she started saying it a few days after I posted her list, but she only says it when I ask her to. But to be honest, she only says any of those words when I tell her to, or when I ask her if she wants say, juice. Then she'll repeat juice. But she never spontaneously says any of those words. Except for her other two new words. Yesterday Devin taught her "off" and "on". She walked around saying "off" over and over. So go figure.

Also, on my post about the bagpipes, one of the comments said that he was one of the bagpipe players. It's true! I don't know how he found my blog or that I had posted about them, but I went to his blog, and that's definitely the group I saw. So, if you want to see what they look like or check out their story, you can go to the blog that he put on his comment. Pretty neat!!!

And a picture: Hallie's first time in nursery! (The 18 month old babies to the 3 year old kids play here during the last two meetings of church.)
Surprise: She's not the smallest one in there, there is one little girl who came in the same day she did that is smaller.
Not surprise: She doesn't love it. See the kid to the left of her? That's my friend Amanda's little boy, Christopher. He was having a rough day too.

    Awww poor girl! I'm sorry she doesn't like nursery. Jeff has decided that working in the nursery is the hardest calling in the church. How big is your nursery/how many kids are there in it? Ours is huge. Jeff thinks it should be split in half. There are five nursery workers, but Jeff says it isn't close to enough, especially when a bunch of the kids want to be held the whole time.

    One of my friends has to stay in there almost every Sunday, because her son just cries and cries. Sometimes she gets to sneak out for RS, because he'll finally be comfortable without her, but she never makes it to SS. Poor little guy.

    Yay! I'm so happy that she says momma now! Hehe. How about Mimi? How's that coming. ;) JK. I can wait my turn. Have you been working on Gigi, so she can say it when Grandma is there? :)

    Hehe off and on are great words!


    HAHAHAHAHAHA I just looked at the big version of the picture. At first I was like, hey you guys (or Devin at least) didn't like that dress. I was surprised she was wearing it, but then I saw that you guys "fixed" it, by making it fitted with a bow. Haha. Now the reason you didn't like it is eliminated. Tricky. Smart. That's my girl!

    She looks so cute, by the way. And I can't believe she isn't the smallest! Wow!

    Sigh. I wish I got to see you this week. But I am super excited to see Dad and Grandma, so I should just be grateful. :)

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporat...

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stair...

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took ...
