Growing Up

By -
Anybody who knows my sweet Anna Brooke knows she is tall to be only four years, two months old. When we venture out into the public, people ask quite frequently, "Are they [Luke & Anna Brooke] twins? I smile and say, "No, they are 19 months apart." And then I think, Twins would have been easier. Except the part about the possible Caesarian section.

Now, I've obviously never had twins although I've wanted them. All my life. Since I learned where babies come from. Stay tuned...

Anyway, it has been 56 days since Christmas. As always, Anna Brooke received many new outfits for Christmas and her birthday. All were very cute. Some were sizes that the giver thought would be too big. They were thinking she can wear them next year too. Well, letmetellyou something. She is growing!!!

This has been especially noticable in how her clothes fit. In this photo, she is on the washing machine. She is trying to reach something on the shelf while I folded the laundry. She is wearing her bathing suit cover-up from this past summer. In June, it came down to her knees.

This is the outfit she wore to Preschool yesterday.

The jeans used to come down to the floor even when she was wearing shoes!!

The cute shirt completely covered her hiney.

If only her hair would grow 4 inches every 56 days she wouldn't have to wear a t-shirt on her head to symbolize how long her hair would be.

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never

Train Up A Child... Christmas edition

Many have asked how we teach our children about Jesus and still participate in the fun of Santa, Elf on the Shelf, etc... I say it simply, they know that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas.  I have had a motto for many years, " If all we put into their little hearts & minds is JESUS, then He is all that will come out!"   Here are some things we do: We GO to church.  We do not go out of habit or obligation, we go because we want to worship corporately every chance we get.  Our children have all attended Sunday school since they were very young.  I was the Mom bringing my baby to church at 9 days old, 4 days old, two weeks old...  As soon as I was able to get myself dressed by church time, we were there. Since our children were all very young, we have had nightly devotion time as a family.  Sometimes, this has been a simple prayer together after a long day.  More recently, we actually read from a children's devotional book.  The children often read it then D

A few weeks ago school started here in FullerTown. We didn't have much homework that first week. Yay!!  Then last week, we didn't have ANY due to an evening event at the church that sponsors the school.   We were really excited!  A long weekend made us feel like we were on vacation.  This week, the homework has hit us full-force. We are on the midst of learning new spelling words, Bible verses, etc...  We are also collecting insects and bark rubbings for two different projects.  May this be our best school year yet!!!
