Rainy days...

...are made for puddle stomping!

The girls had so much fun splashing in puddles they were praying for even more rain! Don't pray too hard girls. Mom wants some sunshine. :)

Goodbye Missy

In an unexpected answer to prayer Missy got accepted into a college in Oregon. She is moving this weekend. Here is a pic of our last Bible study meeting all together. Goodbye Missy! The Joyful Hearts will miss you!!!

Keepers Tea Party

Our Keepers at Home club had a tea party. It was a big hit with the girls.

It was hard to be patient with so many yummy treats being set out. No, no girls, wait for the tea party to start!

Carrie and her friend Sue organized the tea party. They did such a great job. Aren't the tables lovely?

Carrie read a tea time story and Sue gave the girls wonderful tips and instructions on tea party etiquette and being a good hostess. Here is Megan using her napkin to blot instead of wipe. The girls did a great job using their best manners.

Listening to the story...

Thank you Carrie and Sue. You ladies are amazing!!! :)

Nesting

I have been supressing the urge for a while now. But yesterday I dug out the baby clothes I had stored away from when Elsie was a newborn. I only saved a few outfits. 3 onesies, two sleepers, a sack/gown, 1 pair of pants and matching shirt, booties, hat, and assorted burp cloths and wash cloths, all in a gender neutral yellow. There's just something about washing and folding newborn baby clothes. They are so sweet. Ahhh. Now I can stop thinking about it! :)
