Monday Thoughts

Two notes from sermons I've heard recently...

"God's plan is to change me, to conform me to the likeness of His Son."

"Walking by the Spirit: fighting the battle of the inner man to allow the Holy Spirit to grow His traits in me, little step by little step."

A Baby Sprinkle

Last week I hosted a baby sprinkle for a sweet friend who is expecting a little girl very soon. (A sprinkle is a smaller baby shower for second, third, and more babies--I think all babies should be celebrated!)


Pretty table

Who doesn't love a good reason for a girls night?
 

Party time!


We had lots of fun helping get ready for the new baby and gabbing about our husbands and kids.

Weekend Visit and Playroom Bunting

Bebe and Papa Rick came for a visit and the kids had the best time! I have some cute pictures but since JJ is in them I can't post them here--you'll just have to take my word for it.

I did a little craft project for our playroom over the weekend: bunting to hang over the windows. I wanted a bit more color in this room but I didn't feel like tackling curtains. I think this does the trick nicely. Not the greatest pictures but you get the idea...







I cut fabric scraps I already had into triangles with pinking shears, then hot-glued them to ribbon and taped them over the windows. Happy!

36 Hour Recap + Cute Pictures

So the Gent was out of town for 36 hours. In that time:
JJ broke his big toe.
Annie decided she was ready for potty training.
Sophie learned to roll from her back to tummy and has become a tummy sleeper.
Life changes fast around here! Yay for Friday. And as my thanks for sticking around, here are some cute pictures of the big kids painting with water last week.
