Cake

At the friends party we had cupcakes, but at the family party, we had cake. No birthday is complete without cake!

Lily enjoyed showing Abigail how to eat cake with her new birthday play set.


Lydia was not able to come to the family party as her baby brother is likely to arrive any time now. But Brenna came (along with her parents, both grandparents, and Auntie Jenn), and she and Lily had a great time together.

Jenn's Photos

We enjoyed seeing Jenn's pics on Facebook from her phone camera during her trip out west this fall. But now she has some of the ones from her nice camera on her website. They are amazing!

I finally joined Facebook

I've resisted joining Facebook because of its consuming nature. But I decided to finally join- or at least contribute- by starting a page called Persistent Widow. It's my little effort to encourage prayer for Sovereign Grace churches.

I don't have a lot to say. I just want to offer regular reminders to ask God for reconciliation- He wants to be asked!

"I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in His Word I hope; my soul waits for the LORD more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning." Ps. 130:5-6

A scene that makes my mama's heart smile

Headbands

Lily got new headbands, and everyone had fun trying them on. Well, Bingley didn't enjoy it too much, but we enjoyed watching him. I had a headband on too that day, so I tried to get in one of the pictures. You can't see my headband, but I thought it was still cute.

(BTW, Abby's bib says, "I'm NOT a Boy!" Unfortunately, the NOT is in yellow, and so most people miss it, which totally defeats the purpose of the message...)
