"The poorest, the weakest, the simplest child, is born for immortality. This value outweighs the entire material universe, no matter how small a mark this child makes on it. The tiniest infant owns a deathless intellect, and is as immortal as the Father of spirits. No one can tell what this child will become."

~ A Prebyterian Pastor who died in 1873


"And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."

~ (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)

What A Dreaming Diva

While Sophie-Paige is asleep we shall start reffering to it as her "beauty rest." Apparently between my television surfing and the dogs running in and out of the doggie door little SP became a little put out. I will say I like her resolution rather than crying about it. She actually made quite the statement (I thought.) She is so dramatic.... even in her sleep!






I believe I see one of these in her future...

Charlie Going Senile

During the storms Saturday morning Charlie lost-his-mind!!! He didn't know what to do poor guy.





Latest Projects

Stuart got me a new cutting machine called the Silhouette for Christmas and here are some project I have done...

This one was put on the door under the stairs in the playroom. This is the little nook where they keep their toys.
I designed and made temporary tattoos for all of the cousins... The boys wouldn't sit still for me to take a picture of theirs... Thank you Sarah Laine!



I did a silk screen project for my friend Rachels' expected nephew.








Jack Ready For School

Jack is ready for school this morning! I just love this outfit, it reminds me of Jacks' grandfather Steve who loved to carve bird decoys. Sister has a matching dress but I think it is too big for her (plus I cannot find it :) )

Good Morning With Cousins

I got a text with this picture that read "Good Morning!"
(Addelaide at 10 motnhs)

To which we replied "Good Morning Addelaide!"

Jacks' First Basketball Game

Jack has made a new friend! His name is "Mr. Dakota." Mr. Dakota is the son of my friend Shannon Parker. Mr. Dakota is a freshman at Harstelle High and he took time to come play with Jack one day. Needless to say that made Jacks' day life.

We were invited to one of Dakotas' basketball games (which was Jacks' first game ever!) I am proud to say that the main thing he took away from the experience was that he "met FOUR pretty girls."

When we ask him if he'd like to go back he replied, "Ummm, maybe just football." Which is great because Mr. Dakota plays football as well :)






















Entering stage right... "pretty girl" #1














At this point the boy lost - his - mind! He didn't know how to act in front of her. I was all like "pull yourself together man!"
