Verdict

AND the verdict is...

I know that you have probably been agonizing for a while now over the question: Is Hallie the cutest, or isn't she? Well, it is a tricky one, I'll give you that.

My sister recently sent me a hundred or so pictures of Hallie when she was younger, ones that were taken by other members of the family that I didn't have, and among them I found the following. This should help you as you consider the answer to finally end the debate on whether or not Hallie has complete world domination in the arena of cuteness.
These were taken at my brother's house back in September, 2008 which makes Hallie about 9 months old.


The goldfish.


The rooster.


The kangaroo.

Ok, now I grant you the right to remain biased (loyal - whatever.) to your own child/grandchild/niece/nephew/neighbor's kid... because I KNOW that deep in your soul you are thinking to yourself, "Wow, she is one cute goldfish!  You just can't find that kind of goldfish-baby-cuteness in any old pond..." And that's enough for me.

P.S. also, I'm just joking.  But she is kinda cute, isn't she?

Oh yeah, and compare these practice Halloween costumes to how much she LOVED being in her "actual" Halloween costume: Chicken Costume

    She would be 'the cutest' whether she was in scales, feathers, hide or her jammies.
    You can't hide such cuteness!

    Very cute. Ok, so I noticed in the kangaroo pic that you are sporting a Hill Cumorah Pageant shirt. Is that a Cast Member shirt? Were you in it? I was with my family for 5 years, thus the curiosity.

    Ok so in all fairness I think my children are the cutest... but Hallie is really really cute. She has the same kind of "doll face" like my Sarah does that makes them so cute!

    I always wonder the same thing... am I bias because they are my own kids? but I really do think they are the cutest... everyone tells me they are! with that said... you can say unbias that Hallie is the cutest too!

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 ...
