Comings and Goings...

  • Paige is officially 8 months old now. She's just on the verge of learning to crawl. Won't be long now...
  • Paige LOVES Cheerios and rice. A starchy girl.
  • Brooklyn starts school in a week. Yikes. While I'm still pretty nervous about the whole thing, I'm also excited for my girl and all the fun and new experiences of her first school year. She's gonna love it!
  • Sean watched the older two girls on Saturday while I went shopping in Salida with my mom (and Paige, of course). What a treat! I had so much fun and even found some red antique beaters. That and a rag rug. And a few other things. Like I said, FUN!
  • Apparently, Sean and the girls had a good time while I was gone. The house was a wreck (granted, I left it that way) and these were the pictures on my camera when I got home. Hey, he even made sure they got their nap!
  • Maddie is no longer a toddler. She amazes us with the things she says and she keeps up with her big sister just fine now. She's got more personality than most adults could dream of. Especially at 6:30 a.m.
  • This week I'm doing my first ever mentoring/counseling session at our local Women's Resource Center...in Spanish. Pray for me!

Maddie's Big Day!

Image
I'm just gushing over here.  My second-born took a big step today and made a decision for Christ!  We were having a talk in the car on the way to the store about heaven and next thing I know she's over there quietly folding her hands and whispering a prayer to Jesus. When she was done, she looked over at me with a big smile and said, "I have so many blessings from God, Mommy!" Indeed. Happy Born Again Day, Madison Elizabeth!  We love you so much.

If you can't beat 'em....

Image
Brooklyn can't seem to resist writing on the walls. I finally decided to put an end to the battle.... Now she has her own special place in her bedroom to be as creative as she wants (within reason). This can be painted over and it gives her some boundaries while still allowing her to be "creative." I'm not sure she'll have any interest in writing on the wall now that it isn't against the rules but I sure had fun painting on the wall. I'm tempted to paint myself a square to doodle and scribble on.

A Javanese Wedding

Image
We were invited to attend a wedding on Tuesday. We don't actually know the bride and groom, but the bride is our house helper's niece, and because of that relationship, we were invited to attend. We were so honored by the invitation and jumped at the chance to see a real Javanese wedding. It was beautiful and so different than anything we'd ever seen before. Sean and I were very impressed with all the intricate decorations - mostly made from natural materials. There were ornate decorations made entirely from reeds, amazing floral arrangements, a water fountain, and an ornately carved wooden back drop. Even the headdress the bride wore was made of reeds and flowers! Look at that bride! Isn't she beautiful? I was so intrigued by her ornate costumes, elaborate hair, and artistic makeup. Everyone in the wedding party was dressed up in traditional Javanese fashion. It was lovely. There was food for all and drinks and boxes of snacks just in case! This is what saved ...
