Ah! Here we are at last! A boatload of memories are finally here for your enjoyment. Life has been good and busy. The grandmas have all been keeping relatively on the healthy side of things. We are always enjoying their wonderful host of family members and friends who come (and call) so faithfully. The Lord has truly been good to us in giving our family these sweet, lifelong relationships. On the school-front (har!har!)lots of grueling work going around here, what with Johanna's exciting kindergartenen studies, Vanessa wrapping up her final year of highschool (coming soon...2012 graduate!), and little ol' me working my way through two CLEP courses (yes, two...could I really truly be multitasking here?! alright now, quit acting so shocked ☺).
Well, a happy Friday and blessed weekend to you all!
À la prochaine!
Guess what the Carpenter crafted for the wee lass??
Ah, yes! The "big girl" can sleep in her own bed now
One of the characters who has passed down her genes to us...see the resemblance?
Little Miss Ringlet helps clean the mirrors
Patiently awaiting the finishing touches to her poster bed
Daddy/Daughter dates...ah, what sweet memories
Puzzles!
The finished product, with two sweet friends posing
We bought her bedding from craigslist...mint condition!
Ah...the drawers (which are already full to the brim...wondering how big her hope chest will need to be...)
Grandma Lorry and Jorgie-Porgie (with Junebug smiling in the background)
♪...Cinderelly, Cinderelly
Night and day it's Cinderelly...♪
Our budding artists
"Surely, if I pretend I'm sick someone will notice me?"
Sweet artists, do share with us your mysterious drawings...
Ah, lovely. beauty. talent.
One of our wonderful nurses, Mrs. Carmi
A hug for you...
...And one for you!
Enjoying the warm May weather
The beautiful up-do and clip-ons, compliments of our dear, Mrs. LaTonya
Thank you, Mr. George, Mrs. Cara and sweet Sylvia for the loverly visit! So good to finally meet the whole gang!
Don't you smile, Sylvia!
"Uh, Mom, excuse me if I'm in any way unnecessarily stating the obvious, but I'm over here, and you're over there. Do you see a problem with this whole situation?"
Reminiscing (Cara was Johanna's midwife back in her single days ☺)
Ah...baby sounds, baby smells, baby touch...babyness
Then we have our driver-in-training with Mr. Over-Exaggerating Helmet Man
Are you ready for the first splash of the season?
Not a big splash, I know, but it's still filling up.
There she goes!
Why the hat, you ask?
I'll tell you why I wear the hat:
You see, I'm cold, {'tis not a mask}
For when I go to chit 'n chat
My lips become so blue {oh dear!}
They start to shake, start to quiver
But hat has blue lips disappear
It calmed my shiver!
For what thanks can we render to God for you in return for all the joy with which we rejoice before our God on your account? {I Thessalonians 3:9}
