A Whole Hand

Today my baby girl turns 5 years old! She was born at about 10:26am on March 26th 5 entire years ago. I can hardly believe it has been that long. She is spunky, passionate, and loving! She is really becoming a very sweet, caring little girl. I love you Abi! Happy Birthday! What a fun year this will be!

Daily Life

Yarn Along

Even though this is a bit late in the day I wanted to participate in this weeks Yarn Along.

As I have mentioned I am knitting each of my 3 girls something for their birthday. I finished Abi's Cap-sleeved shirt the day before yesterday, and cast on last night for Gabriellas Milo. I LOVE this yarn. I bought some leftover from my best friend who made a sweater for her sister out it this. It is an organic cotton. I need to look on her ravelry page to see exactly what it is. It is so lovely to knit with.

I am reading the book Safely Home. It is about Christian persecution in China. It is really good so far. And I also got he book Handmade Home from the library this week. I have been really wanting to sew some stuff lately, and this is further inspiring me. Sewing however is very hard to do for me because the baby sleeps in our room where the sewing machine is and it is so hard to do during the day. Considering moving it out into the dining room temporarily. We'll see.

Weekend with the Littles

So this past weekend Josh went down with Micah and Abi to Florida to celebrate his Grandparents 80th birthdays. It was a whirlwind trip driving down on Friday, and returning Sunday, so I knew it would be too much for the little girls. We had a quiet weekend at home. Here are a few photos.

I should be doing school work with the bigger ones, but the kids all missed each other a lot and are happily playing on the porch. We will get some work done later today.
