Birthdays and Dresses

I cannot believe that our precious girl is about to be 4! Here is her invitation for her family party...I think that is all I can swing this year! Here is what is going on...

WE move in less than 5 weeks!

Merideth is turning 4 on the 9th!

We still have a house for sale.

We need to pack...schedule movers...etc

MOVE...

Granddaddy's 85th birthday party.

School.

And then just the other everyday stuff we have going on! I know we will blink and we will be on the road to New Mexico for the summer, Stephen's training is there...then...blink...we will be in Vegas! WOW!

Okay so to keep my sanity...sort of! I am sewing some...just a little because we have to keep this house ready to show! But her dress she has on in the photos is from the greatest pattern maker...Portabellopixie...Sandi Henderson. Her patterns are easy to use and I can make this dress in under 2 hours. The pants pattern is a favorite too and they are easier than the dress.

Well I better go do some productive things around here!

About Life

This photo was taken last year around Easter...for some reason I cannot find a photo of them in the Easter outfits...

I hand smocked Merideth her dress last year, sure wish I could find the photo! Oh well hold out in anticipation of this years dress...it has smocked bunnies!

About life...

It is not suprising that He hears us and answers us and holds us in his grip. Gives us answers when we don't think there are any. Gives us peace in ways we did not expect. He is good and He is ALIVE!

So a better day around here...still moving slow. I am going to take a rest, a short one as Merideth calls the nap!

Have a great Easter...

My sweet little somethings! I love them so much. They are being very patient with me today!! I have been up since 5:30am! Oh my word. I have not been up this early in a while. Stephen was snoring and I just couldn't sleep. I didn't want to take another pink pill because I will be alone with the kids so Tylenol it is. It is working fine. We have had a great morning. We have rocked, done school, read, made muffins, read and done laundry. I am washing all the rugs today. Hopefully the buyer for this house will show up soon!! Please pray with me in Jesus name!! Later I am going to call in a professional vacuumer. Whitney does a great job and I can't do it yet. Well I better go and figure out lunch! ...then I am taking a nap!
