Just To Be Clear

 I would just like to clear something up.  I even took pictures so that you wouldn't have to take my word for it.  Those of you who live around here, and see us frequently throughout the week, might have developed the opinion that I spend more time on Hallie - her hair, her outfit, the cleanliness of her face.  Because when they stand side by side when we are out and about it often certainly looks that way.  I would just like to state here, for the record, that when we leave the house they are in equal states of cuteness.  While it's true that I don't spend as much time on Hanna's hair as I do on Hallie's, that is just because it is much shorter and so I really have only three options: comb it, ponytail it, or pigtail it.  Which I do. Every day (or nearly...).  And every time while we are in the car on our way to wherever we are going, she pulls it all out.  That's why when we arrive Hallie looks great, and Hanna looks like I have let birds nest in her hair.

To reiterate: Hanna really is cute too, I promise.

    Now, about your two daughters. Both adorable, like their mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. But they don't seem to be twins. Hannah has some catching up to do, if she wants to have the same hold on my heart that her big sister holds. I've spent several days getting warmed by Hallie's charms. But I will confide in you. In about 12 years from now you will hear the motor bikes with no mufflers going by your home all night long. That's what your two daughters are going to present you with. It won't be their fault, it is just one of those "birds and bees" things. It just happens.
    love, grandpa H.

    Just so you know, I think Hanna is super cute! I love her big smile and the way her eyes light up when she sees people. Hair only goes so far--and she'll grow into hers.

    Love it. :)

    And Jill is determined to make the world think she has a mommy who doesn't care. Would it kill her to let me do her hair more often?

    Apparently it would. Ha.

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 ...
