sweet flowers...

Same fabric... slightly different designs....

Kyria's 




Anya's


Mikalah's



I had fun... the girls looked adorable - but I forgot to get pictures of them IN the dresses! - BOTH times they've worn them! :D  Maybe the next time they wear them :).... but wanted to get up these pictures. We have been busy - me at home and John with preparation for our church's 4th Annual Honor Service.  I had a sweet friend purchase some fabric that I LOVED ... she was saying "thank you" to me. I am going to use it to recover the seats of the dining chairs we recently acquired as well as making matching place-mats. Each of my previous sets of place-mats are in 4s... and we now have *6* chairs (Praise the Lord - as we currently have 5 members of our family!!) :D I will post pictures of that when they are complete - so that may be a little while. 

Mikalah is ALL over the place!! She is starting to try to cruise the furniture... so, watch out world: HERE I COME!!

Anya's enunciation is getting clearer DAILY now. She is very interested in letters and cooking and pretty much anything Kyria does! :D She can identify about 10-12 letters all by herself... and she tries to count to 10 :) and usually skips 4 and 7.

Kyria is learning and growing and being a good big sister. She is ecstatic about starting kindergarten soon. I have shifted my thoughts for her dress from play function to school function (not a big difference at moment); and I am contemplating making her a bag I saw on a blog recently (??) but I'll have to find it again :D

John is keeping his head above water :D but is often swamped with work - he calls it job security :D. We are both thankful to the Lord that he has a job as we still know people that do not. 

I am staying busy, busy, busy with sewing, cleaning, cooking, rearranging, playing, cleaning, correcting, singing, cleaning, reading....... and oh, so much more!! :D I have been fighting some sinus/chest congestion for about 6 weeks now, but have been able to fight through most days and sitting up most nights. (Yes, Mom, :) I am taking my echinacea!) All is well and better than we deserve... God is ONLY good!

Award

Thank you, Rachel, for this award. 



Rachel Smith has kindly given me this award. She has a wonderful, Godly spirit; and she currently serves the Lord with her pastor husband in lower Alabama at Crossroads Baptist.  We met at college where she was my very first room-leader. She was a Godly example then; and she has continued to be thus as we have become reacquainted through blogging.


The rules of receiving this award are:
1. Accept the gift and post it on your blog with a link to the person that awarded it to you.
2. Pass the award along to other blogs that you enjoy and find to be lovely.


I pass this LOVELY BLOG award on to old and new friends that I have enjoyed reading since I entered the blogging world (some of them have not updated recently - but I have enjoyed them in the past).







I probably would have awarded to a few more... but Rachel beat me to it :) and I so many of the blogs I follow have not been updated recently - I know that people are busy... So I leave it at these 4.

Thank you again, Rachel! I enjoy keep up with your family and your projects!
