Night and Day....

I tell you...if I hadn't been present for the particularly agonizing birth of these two girls, I don't think I would know they are even related!


Ruby is currently having a major "pretties" attack. In her opinion, this means the more barettes, pony tail holders, and hair decorations in her hair, the better. First thing in the morning she wants to get dressed, and then have her hair done. She will sit on my lap all day and have me put "pretties" in her hair! If she runs and plays and gets them all messed up, or if they start to droop and fall out, it's back to the pretties basket and mommy's lap for another round of "more petties mom...more petties"


Here is Ruby in her finest Monday hair style. This is currently her favorite way to wear her hair, by far! Quite possibly a by product of livin' in our neck of the woods... :) I don't recall Bella of Saline having hair like this....




Clara on the other hand, ran screaming from me as I attempted to come near her with a comb and brush. She is in to picking out her own "clothes" too. They say a photograph is worth 1000 words. Here is my Clara.....



Yes, those are her brother's Diego underpants, and her hosptial bracelet from the emergency room a week ago. She thinks it is the best thing ever, so I guess I will let her wear it until it rots off her arm, or cuts of her circulation! I really have to choose my battles with this one. Her shriek could pierce the ears of banchees, and she bites too. Has anyone else read The Taming of the Shrew????


Here is Matthew in an outfit I sewed for him a couple of weeks ago. We lost the shirt but found it today! He's bugging me to make him a shirt for his flannel Nascar pants so he can wear those to school. He is my biggest fan.


Hoping to set up my back room as a sewing room...(not a joy filled smoke free studio...but at least a table with my machine on it) once my MIL leaves. Brian is taking her back to Virginia on Friday. He is also leaving me with our five little ones for two weeks. Pray for grace and patience....pray for grace and patience...pray for grace and patience.....

More pics and news later....

God is good. All the time.

Praying you will have two weeks of glorious well behaved children ;-) Love the pretties and the boys underpants...just yesterday I attempted to put a pair of Transformers on Laurel (seeing as I have a mountain of laundry and not a pair of panties in sight) but she had a total meltdown and refused to wear "dem Boys Panties" Love ya lots!
