Our Little Snuggler

So I Don't Forget

Right now the windows are open so the autumn-like cool breeze can fill our house with the nostalgia of fall. I have been getting ready, tidying up the house for an afternoon guest, and swaying with my sweet Abigail in my arms who seems to have a love for cuddling. My hot chai tea is waiting on me to begin my Bible study. My precious Elisabeth is filling the neighborhood air with sweet songs. I know that all who can hear her right now can't help but smile. I cannot seem to think of a better word for it, for hardworking is an understatement...but my hardworking husband has the weekend off, and I am joyful in knowing he can have some much needed rest. My heart is so full. And I don't want to forget this.

For a Love of Reading

I LOVE to read. And I LOVE to decorate, design, and redesign. I am also very indecisive which typically leads me to constantly rearrange and redo things. And working with what I have can be a little challenging sometimes. But I enjoy it immensely. So, what started as a "dance studio" has become a place that I hope will continue to fuel Elisabeth's love of reading...She's already named it "The Reading Spot."

Family

One of the hardest things about moving to Oregon has been missing all of the people we love. Thankfully we have so many ways to talk to you and "see" you every day! We just wanted you to know that we love you all and miss you tremendously!!

Tiny Dancer

When we first saw this house, it only took me about a millisecond to figure out what to do with the odd space that is our second living room. As soon as I saw it I knew it would be a great place for a playroom. As we surveyed the random recessed rock wall at the end of the room with a recessed light overhead, I thought of Elisabeth and her vivacious and dramatic personality and knew exactly what to do with it...A STAGE!! I even have red curtains to drape on the sides! We set it up on Friday as a little dance "studio" complete with mirrors so she can check her form...oh, wait, she's not that serious! She just likes to watch herself dance! We had some 50's music going and she was loving it!!

She even gave a private lesson!

Abigail joined us after her nap.

I don't think it will be too long before I find them in the playroom together dancing up a storm!
