Conversations with a 2 Year Old

"Gamma, is it sunny?"

"Yes"

"No it's cloudy!"

"Where? I don't see any clouds!"

"Where is God?"

'Ummm, up in the sky..."

"In His house?"

"Yes, that's where He lives"

"Why?"

Because that's where He wants to live."

"I can't see His face!"

"No we can't, but He's there."

"Why? Are we going to my house?"

"No, we're going to see Mama and Baby."

"Where?"

At the Doctors."

Why?"

"Because that's where they are."

"Why?"

"ummm, look at those trees!"

"Why?"

Welcome Little Man!

We have a new Grandson!

It is so funny to see how much

a BOY he is already, none of the

delicate features that his sister had,

and mouth wide open "starving hungry"!

every second:)

I will have to start thinking trucks and dirt now.

It's been awhile!

One of his uncles said "he looks like a turtle and 

sounds like a little pig, but it's cute."

I had to laugh, because it's so like a guy

to describe a baby like that!

Flower Girl Bouquet

This is the bouquet my grand daughter 

will carry in the wedding.

I saw the idea on the internet and because 

it's made of felt it's a good choice for a 2 1/2 yr old

to carry without worrying about her dropping it

or forgetting it somewhere:)

It looks simple but took 8 hrs to complete!

No wonder the price was so high 

to order one online.

 One project down...on to the next one!

30 Years of Commitment

Yesterday was our 30th Anniversary!

Yikes!

From our last anniversary to this has been

a true test of commitment to our vows...

it was one of the hardest years I have ever lived,

but in the end we are in a much better place.

It's like the analogy of a garden, if you don't 

till the soil you won't have anything grow.

I feel more ready now then in a long time to

go into the next 30 together:)

Swimming into Summer's End

The hot days of August are winding down 

and I've been thinking that this is the first year

since 1986 that I won't be "getting" 

anyone to school!

My youngest goes into 11th grade and has 

a car, (and an alarm clock!)

so in other words I can go on 

pretending it's still summer as long as I want:)

Pantry = Disaster Area

I have been looking at this mess in my pantry

all summer!  The hour

of time that I felt like doing any

organizing...just never came!

Once I got going it didn't take that long, but

it's amazing how many stale chips 

and out of date packaged food

one pantry can hold!
The bins are all from the Dollar Tree

Wedding Guest Book

Shana wanted a scrapbook style

guest book for her wedding.

I have made some similar to this

for regular scrapbooks so it

was fairly easy to do.

It will be a keepsake that she can

keep out on display as she can add in 

wedding photos later.

One project crossed off the list:)
