Happy Birthday, Anna Brooke

By -
Yesterday, was Anna Brooke's birthday. She is our oldest daughter and is now SIX years old. I don't know what happened to the past five and a half years but, none the less, she is six!
Anna Brooke had such a good day. She woke up smiling, ready to get dressed for Kindergarten.

She has always loved girly-girl things. She has wanted to be a cheerleader since she could say it and recognize a cheerleader when she saw one.
She has also wanted to learn to play the piano. She has been taking lessons for about a month now. She is learning to play Away in a Manger, which is probably one of her favorite Christmas Songs.

Anna Brooke loves to have her hair braided. She wears her hair with two braids and bows on the bottom most days. Anna Brooke, you changed my life in a way I cannot even describe. You continue to rock my world every day. You have made me be a much better Mommy than I ever would have been without you in my life. I now take the time to appreciate the little things in life. I understand why you need everything to be pink and sparkly. I do not yet understand how God will use you to expand his Kingdom, but I do know that he has big plans for you.
Love, Mommy

On Valentine's Day 2007 Patrick and I decided that we would not get each other a gift. This was the first time we had made such a deal. I did pick up a card for him and filled it out. Valentine's Day was on a Wednesday and we really didn't see each other much until after church that night. He came home exhausted. We had our little family of five all together in the Family Room and I handed him his card. I had signed it the way I usually do with an extra note on the very bottom: P. S. Baby Boy due to arrive in September. (Now, I didn't know for sure he was a boy, but I had a feeling) Patrick FELL INTO THE FLOOR!! Fast forward 7 months. I was very busy getting ready to open WEE Love Academy, the weekday preschool ministry at church. I was thinking that I would get the Preschool started a few weeks then the baby would come. Well, Preschool started on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. It was a great day and I came home energetic! I thought nothing of it just busied m...

What's In That Purse?

I was going to change my purse today. I was going to switch to one that doesn't look like a five-gallon bucket with straps attached. So, I dumped out the contents of my purse onto the table and could hardly believe my eyes. There was bathtub fizzy ball thing, a princess hair brush, lots of gum wrappers, an empty wallet, a songbook, a clothing tag, a vacuum belt , a ball, a USB drive attached to a Mickey Mouse keychain, 27 cents that looks like it survived The War, a Strawberry Shortcake magnet, lamp parts , a hairbow, camera, 2 birthday party invitations, a half-used Z-Pak, one ink pen, and many receipts and check-out coupons. All this in addition to a cosmetic bag filled with various shades of berry and pink lipgloss and lipsticks and a wallet with the typical things inside. So, I just have one question: What's in your purse?
