Bloomers for baby

I haven't sewn anything for ages..........since before I was married........except for cutains but that doesn't count. So I tried these............They're cool for cowgirls ( b/c the center seam is very far apart????hmmmm) and then if you like low-riders......hahah oh well........I'll see the second time I make them. I want to make them out of eyelet and eyelet lace. But such as they are......they are. And she is always ready to test for agility.

I'm NO Ace of Cakes

Kennedy's 1st Birthday "cake"
So, ya, it's lopsided...........I think I put the wrong lids on the tapioca flour and baking powder.......so when you do that, you get crumbly cake.........the fondant is holding it together........barely. hahahaha Always an adventure:P

Citizenship

I just LOVE reading Spurgeon. He's so easy to understand and the truth that he presents and expounds on are so comforting and encouraging. So I hope you don't mind me posting lots of his quotes. I hope you find them as encouraging as I.

I know Nick and Amy have this incredible hassle, as others have, of gathering all the documentation they need to file for visa's, passports, and in the future THE GREEN CARD. Going from one country to another to live, all the changes and unfamiliarities, many can emapthize. You do feel a stranger. But no matter where I am, I have a hard time not feeling an alien. I find it uncomfortable talking to ppl when I go out. They even look at us weird. Why?

Spurgeon has a great and easy explanation:

Psalm 39:12 "I am a stranger with thee."
"All my natural alienation from Thee, Thy grace has effectually removed; and now, in fellowship with Thyself, I walk through this sinful world as a pilgrim in a foreign country."THOU art a stranger in THINE own world. It's no marvel, then, if I who live the life of Jesus, should be unknown and a stranger here below. Lord, I would not be a citizen where Jesus was an alien.
But, here is the sweetness of my lot: I am a stranger with Thee. Thou art my fellow-sufferer, my fellow-pilgrim. .......and though I be a sojourner, I am far more blest than those who sit on the thrones, and far more at home than those who dwell in their ceiled houses." (emphasis added KD)
How wonderful that we are not left alone to journey through this life by ourselves and not left without HIS empathies as aliens.

Providence Phenomena

I absolutely LOVE it when in providence friends or family members are thinking of the same things......especially when they haven't been discussed beforehand. I seem to do that with my family a lot. heheh When we talk on the phone, we of course talk about things that have been on our minds ( which could be ANYTHING.....) and come to find out.....that the other person had been thinking about the same thing, even that same week. I was searching the internet for bridesmaids dresses and came across this black dress with white polka dots with a red sash underneath the bust..SOOO cute. I sent the link to Ames and she said (if I get this correct) that Ang. saw Vanna White with the same dress on and commented about it possibly being a bridesmaid dress. hehehehe or this...............
Bethers was turning all the lights off in the house at night ( what a little conservationist :D ) and I wanted at least ONE light on so I said to her to turn on the light, and not two seconds later this guy on tv says, "turn on the lights" !!!!! HAHAH I was a little creeped out in a cool way.:P:P
also.........
I don't know about you guys, but sometimes words just pop into my head like (for me) bigger words that I don't use much and I'm like, where did that come from (looks around)? Like the word : CONSTERNATION I don't use this much if at all. It means a sudden, alarming amazement or dread that results in utter confusion; dismay. Maybe that's just my life right now????:P:P:P
One last one.....
I was thinking of the book Persuasion last week, and when I read it many years ago it was the first time I had heard of the word bequeathed......no big deal, but either that night or the next day I was reading in Spurgeon's Morning and Evening and he used the word bequeathed in the devotion I was reading. It's really no big deal, but I think it's cool when things of this nature happen.

Julia's Dress Sketches

Julia has quite the talent for fashion and detail within fashion. Here's a sample of her sketches. She has prices above her dresses. hehehehe I absolutely LOVE this picture!!

"Ahhhhh, something's got mia!!!!!"

The Life and Times of Kennedy Kathleen
Okay..........this was pretty funny.
A few nights ago......I was up with Kennedy, of course ;) , and I was going to change her diaper in on my bed. Murray was asleep already so I didn't want to turn the lights on ( I'm soooo nice:P:P ).
After I got through changing her diaper I went to wash my hands in the bathroom. All of a sudden I hear this blood curdling cry ( it wasn't a cry b/c she had gas, that's for sure). I ran into the bedroom to see what was wrong. So I picked up Kennedy.........and I looked behind her head......and there was her hand...........grabbing all that beautiful Baby Kennedy hair!!! LOLOLOL I tried to unclench her fists but she would NOT loosen her grip!!!! I kept trying but she was insistant on pulling her OWN hair!!!!! She was crying louder and louder the more I tried to help her unloose her hold. I was laughing and almost crying for her at the same time. That's my silly little girlie!!!!

Smilin' with glee my little Kenndy

Zeeee Masterrrrpiece

"Takin care of business...."

Still "listening"

Bethy's thoughts: That's just scary, lady.
Pierce's thoughts: That isn't quite how I thought it would turn out.
Julia's thoughts: Okay, look at Mom-Mom and be cute. Oh I hope my hair looks alright.
Harrison's thoughts: Let's see.......I could paint a battle scene from Star Wars....no, no, too hard. Hmmm, how `bout a knight and a dragon fighting til the death? Mmmm, again to complicated..........

"Listening"

Bethy's thoughts: Ugh, can you believe she would put those two colors together?
Pierce's thoughts: Yes, I could see how that could work.
Julia's thoughts: Don't put those colors together, Dont put those colors together.
Harrison's thoughts: What?!?!?!

Budding Ar-teests????

Mom took the kids to this pottery shop called Crankpots to express and extract some artistic ability from the kiddies. Thankfully this is part of their schooling and can be written off ( "Oh ya ya yaaa."-Marlin on Finding Nemo).
