What Jeffrey is proud of

What Arabelle is proud of

      What I am proud of

 

We had to get our house appraised for the refinance we are doing on our mortgage, and so John and I were working like crazy, fixing lots of things and getting it super clean.  I haven't seen it looking this good in a long time, so I took some pics for those of you who haven't seen my house in a while, or ever!

Charlotte's Blessing Day

Charlotte's Blessing Day

As usual it was impossible to get a good picture of everyone, but I really like the way Jeffrey looks in this pic!  I got Arabelle all dressed up cute, but she wouldn't wear shoes or a bow.

Putting Charlotte into her giant dress.

Bonnie made this gorgeous dress for Charlotte.  We are so lucky to have a grandmother that sews so well!

Charlotte was very good during her blessing.  John's family was able to come and afterwards we had a very nice brunch.

Kids Playing

This mud pie kitchen is right up Arabelle's alley.  She loves to get dirty.

If you look carefully, you can see the kids in the clubhouse above, eating lunch.

Making scrambled eggs.

Aunt Emily sent this big-mouth monster to Jeffrey and these cute little furry squirrel guys to Arabelle.  The obvious play situation ensued.

Jeffrey's truck has turned into that toy that Jeffrey is tired of, but it's the only thing that visiting kids want to play with.  Actually, he loves playing with it with other kids, but doesn't have much to do with it when friends aren't around.
