She's 2!

Warning: This post may very well only be interesting to me, and a grandparent or two.  Also, if you receive updates of my blog via email (that's you GG Boling and Poppa Homer) then you may not be able to see the video slideshows, so come to my actual blog if you do want to see them.)

Well, she isn't actually two until tomorrow, but I will have a lot going on then and I have nothing to do now, so I'll get it on here early.  We're not really doing anything for her birthday again this year (see the post on her birthday last year.  Yikes.)  Because I am still "sick" with whatever I got just before Christmas, and I am still quite pregnant.  We are having the missionaries and a neighbor over for dinner, and they will cheer for her as she opens presents I am sure.  Anyway, here's my little trip down memory lane with my baby:

    I'll have to watch those on the desktop. The laptop can't handle them. But I am so excited for her birthday, sorry that you're not feeling well, so excited that we're so close to Hanna's arrival, and slightly in shock that enough time has already gone by for Hallie to be 2.

    Happy Birthday, Hallie! I can't believe she's already two, but I guess that's good since your Hanna is just around the corner. Let me know if you want us to come over and play with her so you can rest; Collin would LOVE that.

    I love those videos. Yay for Animoto! What a blessing to have these slideshows even if you don't have the original pictures. She's so cute in those pictures!! I am honored that Jill made the third slideshow. That sure is a cute picture.

    I had never seen the last two quotes that you added on the side of your blog. I really like them!!

    There was one I really liked in the Miracle of Forgiveness (yes, you and Dad rubbed off on me). It was something like "Rationalization is the bringing down of your morals to your actions. Repentance is the raising of your actions to your morals." Or something close to that. Maybe "ideals" rather than "morals." Anyway. I really like how it was phrased.

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 ...
