catching up

Catching up is an understatement...Since I last posted we had a little girl in the household turn three!! We couldn't celebrate any other way than in good princess fashion! For the 3rd birthday bash we held it at a local park as usual and adorned the table with a castle cake, the little princess with the appropriate attire and so much pink in girlie fashion! A very good friend captured the moments from our celebrate quite well. Unfortunately as you will see from the photos below our little princess was not up to par and was not feeling her usual chipper and smiley self.





We had her party about a week after her actual birthday so that family and friends that were out of town could attend. For her actual birthday we celebrated at home as a family by having her favorite meal...pasta! and for dessert we had chocolate chip cookie dough; she picked it out herself! Here are a few photos I took to capture her special day!


Yummy cookie dough ice cream

no princess is complete without her castle! Little people castle! so cute!

Well that was it for the Birthday festivities!

Alot has been happening the last few months keeping me busy and I have had plenty to write about just not the time to think through what I wanted to write about. A new season has started with my moms group at my church and so far it has been great, we are watching a video series and it has been wonderful, not to mention the time we have had to share in our small groups.

I am also involved in a women in the word class...cant really call this a bible study as the only bible time we have is a memory verse each week. But I have been so blessed to be learning under the teaching of an amazing woman, her name is Mary Duncan she has written the book Tools for Motherhood, it is basically a class teaching us as moms how to best teach our children and prepare them for Kindergarten. The teacher in me loves this class! We have learned many ways to teach our children in just 15 minutes of our day...it takes a little planning but it is so worth it and our children will thank us someday for it! right? :) This class has also reaffirmed in my mind the benefits of homeschooling and my desire to teach my child, but not sure yet if that is the direction God is leading us in. We shall pray, wait and see as He reveals His perfect plan for us! Well I have a little missy that just woke from her nap so i must go for now but hope to be back soon and finish my thoughts from the last few months!
