I am sooooooooooo behind on blogs. Nick had to tell me that you had put up pictures of our boys on your blog... I made a quilt in the meantime, does that count? Anyway, I need to get up on my blogs.
I love seeing you and your girls too, and need to again soon!
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...
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...
Well, I haven't gotten on my computer much lately, and most of you are probably angry with me because I haven't been answering my phone either. (I know, I know, you hate it when I do that.) This really isn't the way I wanted to do this, but I think it's going to be a while before I manage to get everyone called, and maybe this will make you not hate me so much. This is the main reason I've been so sick and tired lately: This, and I've just plain been sick this week. It's no fun when you're not allowed to take anything! (Ok, I know it's never fun to be sick, but please pity me. Please?) :) So, look for Baby Rose #2 January 20th, 2010!!! YIKES.
Jill looks so sweet in that picture, with her hands on her lap and her ankles crossed!
