Sisters and A Trip to the Salon

Image
By
Last night we were watching a video we got from my in-laws for Christmas. (Adam decided yesterday morning that he just couldn't wait for Christmas, those presents were calling to him. [Maybe he'll get it out of his system tomorrow when he unwraps his b-day presents.] So, he unwrapped his present, Kate's present, Eliza's present, and the family gift [which was the video] that we got in the mail from my in-laws on Saturday.) After we were done watching the video, Jon was able to snap this picture of our oldest and youngest daughters together. Aren't they just precious like this?

Just a little story about Maryanne and her hair. Everyday I look at her hair in amazement. She has way more hair than any of our other children had at her age, and it is light brown instead of the white blond that we are used to. But, the most fascinating thing about her hair is that she already has natural highlights. Each time the nurses switched shifts, the new nurse would comment on Maryanne's hair and how it looks like we had it frosted. I wish you could see it in this picture ... it really is so adorable ... I love it!

Ahhh! I have not read your blog for far too long! CONGRATULATIONS! What a dream delivery, I am totally going to follow in your footsteps (I bet the first wasn't so easy though?). I love it when women tell nice stories of their birth, sometimes it's like we are trying to scare each other or top each other or something. Anyway, she is BEAUTIFUL and I am over the moon for you and your family!!

Okay, so am I ever late on checking your blog. I've been so bad about that lately. First off, CONGRATULATIONS on little Maryann. She's so beautiful. I cannot believe you have five kids! Secondly, the stockings turned out great. I wish they'd originated in my cranium but I'm also an idea stealer!

I love the little sibling snuggly photos. We have a couple of those too. I bet the kids are loving her.

I will have to look more closely next time at her hair. I couldn't see the highlights. That is neat though. I have never seen a baby with highlights.

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
