it's the moments that fly by...

Babies and mommies.  I have been blessed to have some great play dates with women in my church this summer.  One of them is the extremely talented Kristin over at Petal and Thorn Handmades (check her out if you haven't seen her work already!).  As I have been spending more time with this wonderful women, I have been blown away by how God prepares things for us before we even get to a situation or a trial.  Life is never static and my other mommas have been such an encouragement to me.

This past week, I actually remembered to grab the camera as I ran out the door to meet Kristin.  Here are some of the pictures that we got from the day (they came out rather well if I do say so myself).

they're going to be super good friends =)

playing in the water

i got a picture with my growing boy!

playing with photoshop  =P

watching the little girl enjoy all the fountains (and Kristin is rockin' the new ring you can find in my Etsy shop!  but she always looks so stinking cute...)

the problem with water is that sometimes unstable little ones can slip - hence the sad face on momma.  Sisi was over it pretty quick though.  =)

 I will never get enough of play dates that involve coffee, conversation, and cute hats.  But more on the hats later.  =)

Have a beautiful day and a wonderful weekend!

happy mother's day!!!

I am a very blessed girl.

I didn't always like to admit it, but yes, Mom, you were right.

You were right when you said plucking my eyebrows would be more work than I would ever really like doing but you also understood why I wanted to be a "big girl" too.  =)

You were right when you said that taking care of your own house is worth doing...I just didn't want to admit it.

You were right when you made me get up early every Sunday morning to develop a habit of worship in your children.

You were so patient when you kept washing clothes and cooking food when I never said thank you.

You were my support when I was having a rough day at school, work, or any time.

You were my example of love and obedience in Christ.

You are my mom and I am more thankful for that than I can ever say.

And since I got married, I now have two moms!  

Happy Mother's Day!!!

An Announcement

So I thought it was about time that my blogosphere friends heard my news.

I'm pregnant!

Now I haven't known for too long myself but I figured it out pretty quickly when I felt sick one day and the feeling didn't leave for the next four weeks.  =)  So right now, it is pretty much just a survival game.  But I am slowly easing into this funky feeling that isn't leaving and starting to enjoy the prospect of being a mother.  

So in addition to all of the things that you usually hear from me with my sprinkling of fashion, food, craftiness (my feeble attempts at it), and other odds and ends, you may also be afflicted with some pictures and ramblings of a mother-to-be.  =)

I hope you all have a wonderful President's Day whether you are working or not!
