K's Birthday!

Birthday Shoutout
First, the birthdays I haven't posted about...Feb. 15 our youngest turned 6. I can't believe my baby is SIX!
Next, Eldest turned 18 on April 6! I can't believe my baby is EIGHTEEN! There's a rumor going around that she's an adult now, but I don't know where she got that idea. The batteries on my camera were dead that day (figures, huh?) so I don't have any great pics to show until I transfer them from my phone but here are some random pics of E.
Now, on to the upcoming birthdays...my sister-in-law Michelle's birthday is coming up on Monday and here's a pic of her and my big brother and their kids (from a couple of years ago).
Last, but not least, our lovely K. is turning 11 on Tuesday! Hopefully, I'll upload some pics from our celebration but here's one to tide my faithful readers (grandparents) over.
Later Days!

Pics of the Graduate
Today I went for a walk down memory lane, looking for photos to use for my daughter's graduation slide show. I had a fun time reliving beach trips and birthdays :). Here's just a few to whet your appetite...sorry, no baby pics yet (but they're coming).
Later Days!

P.S. Did I make the deadline, Mimi?

Long time no see....
Whew. It's been a long time since I updated the blog, huh?
Between moving back to my hometown, diving into ministry at a new church, homeschooling, childrens' birthdays, and planning our eldest child's high school graduation (!), I've been preoccupied. Oh, and this crew STILL wants to eat regularly and have clean clothes to wear!
This graduation thing is proving to be a little stressful. I guess I didn't fully appreciate the fact that someone has to plan and execute a ceremony like this and, since I'm a homeschooler, that means ME. We've got the cap and gown and diploma and are waiting on the invitations to come back from the printers. Since we're having a double-graduation with a cousin, we're trying to map out details so that both graduates have a meaningful, memorable celebration. Ideas, anyone?
In other, less self-centered news...is anyone else addicted to Pinterest? Great recipes and ideas abound. I just found a blog with great recipes via Pinterest: richestoragsbydori.blogspot.com and I'm excited to try some of them!

Settling In
Things are starting to come together at the new house. It feels more like home when you hang pictures on the walls, doesn't it?
After spending waaay to much time on Pinterest looking at photos of beautiful homes, I was feeling kind of crafty so I hunted up some black paint and started updating some accessories. Micah contributed to our home decor by painting a picture frame :).
Stop by sometime if you want to check it out (Yes, I'm talking to YOU). How long does, "We just moved," work as an excuse for a messy house?
Later Days!

Party Time!
Happy 16th Birthday to my wonderful niece Anna Beth! How well I remember her impatience to make her debut in this world. She made her mark then & is still making it today. Love you, AB!
What a blessing to be able to celebrate special occasions with family. Anna Beth and several other members of the family have been a little under the weather lately, so it's great that everyone was well enough to party.
In fact, the party is still going on, but it moved to our house. AB's younger sis, Molly, came back to our house to have a sleepover w/ K. Make that a no-sleep-til-it's-over. Wii, Netflix, & popcorn, anyone?
Later Days!

P.S. Congrats to Molly for overcoming her fear of cats!

New Leap of Faith
Since almost all of my readers are relatives of mine, you all probably already know that we've moved Back Home!! We're settling into a new house, a new ministry, and a new routine...one which includes making up for lost time with the grandparents :). Never fear, we're still planning to go to the library on Tuesdays so the world will keep rockin' on!
Our move is a blessing in so many ways BUT there are friends that we already miss. One such special friend, who has been a little sis to me and a big sis to E., is Leanne M. She's been a godly influence and a listening ear to us so many times. We've enjoyed our coffee talks...sometimes silly & sometimes serious...always comforting, knowing that we have a true friend who "has our backs".
Here is Leanne with her adorable new friend, Biscuit!
She and her husband Wes have been through severe trials during the time we've known them, but they are terrific examples of steadfast faith. We appreciate the time we had to serve God alongside them.
We love you guys!!
Later Days,
Kelly
