Warm Lazy Day

Today we are taking it easy and letting Daddy get some much needed rest. Kathryn and I are playing around the house and getting some house work done (when we have to). :) I am almost done with my first hand bag, that I am knitting and I am hoping to list it on Etsy soon.

I have also taken some pictures of my cute little girl and hope to get those on here soon. :-)

Life is great and I am so blessed!!!

rainy unpacking day. :-)

Today it is rainy and overcast. I am unpacking the last of the boxes and hanging up pictures. Sometime today I am going to have to go over to the other house that we just moved out of and do some cleaning.

The new house is great! There is a bunch more living space and we got to pick the colors that we painted the walls, even though we are renting this one too. :-) It is really nice when you are renting from your parents. :-) I have just finished hanging the pictures in the kitchen and I am getting ready to start in the living room. I love when you get the pictures hung up in a house, it looks more like your own home. Adds some flare. :-) I better get back to work.

Prayer for our Children

Father, hear us, we are praying,
Hear the words our hearts are saying,
We are praying for our children.

Keep them from the powers of evil
From the secret, hidden peril,
From the whirlpool that would suck them,
From the treacherous quicksand pluck them,
Holy Father, save our children.

From the worldling's hollow gladness,
From the sting of faithless sadness,
Through life's troubled waters steer them,
Through life's bitter battle cheer them,
Father, Father, be Thou near them.

Read the language of our longing,
Read the wordless pleadings thronging,
Holy Father, for our children.

And wherever they may bide,
Lead them Home at eventide.

Life as a Mama

Life has been great! I knew being a Mother would be a ton of fun, but I had not counted on it being this great. Of course there are those moments when at 3am when I hear her start making noises that I think sleep, sleep, I just want to sleep. Then I pick her up and I am no longer thinking sleep, but wow, she is so beautiful, wonderful and amazing. I can not believe that I get to take care of her every day. She is now starting to laugh and giggle a bunch more. We talk to her and she smiles and laughs. She is also beginning to be ticklish. :-) Matt is really looking forward to the day when she is ticklish! She so wants to talk when we are talking to her, it is so very cute.

I have been scrap booking these last few weeks and I am about ready to start scrap booking her pictures and I am really looking forward getting them done. She has had so many pictures taken since she was born, she is going to have lots of memories.

I am starting to work on a knitting project for my Mama right now too. :-) It has been fun to sit Kathryn on my lap and knit with her. She is fabulous. She loves to look at the patterns on knitted projects.

Being a Mommy so far has been wonderful and I am sure it will continue to be. :-)
