And now you've inspired me to be more thoughtful with my pictures!What did you use to scrapbook them? I love it! Pretty ballerina hair!
I used picnik.com. They have so many cute layouts and choices for fancy collages! LOVE that site!Renee - a "diva" she is! She's such a beautiful little ballerina...and when I was looking at the pics, I thought - isn't this what every mama dreams of her 6 year old doing? Dressing up for her ballet recital, putting her hair in a bun, hanging out with her friends? I'm sure it's all the more special to you though, because of what a miracle Kennedy is. :)
Absolutely, I get teary-eyed every time!
Why did she only get 90 seconds? How much time did everyone else get? That doesn't seem fair at all!
Her whole class only got that this time... usually they get two numbers, one tap and one ballet, but this time it was ballet only. Such a bummer.
Yet another sacrifice you two are making for all of us. Hope you have a big celebration! In March, right?
Yep, there abouts! :)
Super sweet card. Isn't Kellsey older than Keeghan though?
Yep. They're listed in order of appearance in our family. :)
Loved the Christmas jammies....where did you get them? Can't wait for more pics!
From Nikki Knits. They have lots of great matching stuff on there!
Kellseys mad because you not only woke her up but didn't give her a watergun! :)
Keep dreaming, Paige! ;)
WOW! Mini Laptops huh? I don't even have one of those! Are they cheaper? LOL
They actually are much cheaper than a regular laptop, but they don't have a DVD drive or anything... still, perfect for a kid just starting out in the laptop world :).
What's that thing called that Kassidy is playing with in the last picture of her? I think I had one of those one time!
I actually have no idea! LOL My mom found that. I think I had one of those when I was a kid, too!
You just found all sorts of cute stuff! And you have a fireman, policeman, AND a doctor? WOW! That's convenient! Or at least I thought I saw a drs outfit but now I can't find the picture. So maybe it was somewhere else I saw that.
Yes, the doctor picture was on Facebook :). They came as a set from Melissa and Doug. They are really great quality!
I love to read, and have read a lot of different series of books many times. What series is Kassidy reading?
It's the Love Comes Softly series by Janette Oke. There are 8 books (and 8 movies made as well). They are Christian based and the movies were wonderful! We watched them all when Frank was home. Kass was excited to get the books (and I'm hoping she'll let me borrow them when she's done! LOL). Here's the description I found online:
Love Comes Softly, the first series from the pen of Janette Oke, follows the lives of one family through three generations--beginning with a hated "marriage of convenience," through hardships common to life on the prairie in an earlier time, leading at last to an abiding love. These eight stories reflect the enduring hope of Christian love and faith despite adversity and hardship.
Ummm.....you keep Kass home for a sore throat? That's kinda like taking off of work for a hangnail...
Ummm first of all, why come here just to be snarky on a post from almost two years ago?! REALLY?! And if you had bothered to read the whole post you would have seen that I kept her home to get her tested for strep because she had a very sick brother with all the symptoms and the two of them had a horrible time battling strep before they got their tonsils out. You feel free to send your kids to school sick, but I prefer to keep mine home - first because it does them no good to be in school when they're not feeling well, and second because it's not fair to infect everyone else in the class if I think they have something like strep. Better safe than sorry. But hey, I just have two kids who make straight A's and always make up their work if they do have to miss school, so what do I know. @@ Think I'll go pick at my hangnail now.

I LOOOOOOOVED the Jeanette Oke books when I was a pre-teen/teenager and so did my best friend!!! We would get grounded from reading when we were kids, and then we'd read those books to each other over the phone when that happened!!! My friend actually just bought me all of them for my birthday!!!
I am going to have to look into that series for Taylor...she loves reading but it is hard to find a good series for a tweenager that isn't appropriate. BTW, I am the same way about keeping my kids home when they aren't feeling great. I kept Madison home on her last day of school but she was really cranky. She wasn't complaining about a sore throat but Taylor had strep so I had a sinking feeling Madison was probably on the verge of it. Sure enough she ended up at the dr's the next day and had strep. I know her teachers and parents are happy I didn't send her and possibly infect anyone right before school.
Holy Cow! The last comment about the throat was so dang ridiculous! @@
Wow! I've got TWO on here! I think that's a record!
You know hitting a million does have it's drawbacks...the whole snark issue. And I'm sure that the teacher really appreciated you keeping her home and not spreading whatever she had to the rest of the class!
Always praying in Seattle!
I Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Looks like I'd better look into that series for Arline!
And yes I would keep my kids home from school with a sore throat, I've kept them home for a lot less... and a two year old post... that person has issues... issues.
Glad you had a good Christmas Renee, we did too! Sending Christmas prayers and hugs.
Wow, seriously someone came on and commented on a post from 2 years ago? And not very nicely either. How strange. Do you happen to recall if Kass ended up having strep? Bad mom here too I guess. Granted no kids are missing school today, but we're all off to the doctor. The appointment is for CJ because he has an earache. No fever or anything just an earache. But he had some sort of other bug a few days before which turned into a bad cold and now he's complaining of this. But Kaitlyn has come down with the exact same symptoms that CJ started out with just a few days later so I'm thinking this is going to run a similar course in her. So I'm going to see if the doctor will take a quick look at her too in hopes of saving me a trip to the doctor again in a couple of days. It's a tough choice about going to the doctor or not with things, but sometimes we have to follow our instincts.
seriously????where do you get these readers to leave such great comments? makes me glad I dont have hundreds of followers, lol:) must have a lot of time on their hands,get a life people
Having lived for 9 years with a medically fragile little boy who has been hospitalised most times he's caught a cold/bug from me, or his siblings, I thank you for not sending Kass to school with a sore throat! There was never any worse feeling that being sat next to a ill child and just KNOWING that I was going to get it and expose him to that risk, once I was sat next to a girl who turned out to have MEASLES, but had been sent in because "She didn't have a temperature this morning" despite the fact she was coughing up a storm, and was covered in little red spots.
I wish more parents would have your attitude, I really do. (I can't shake the feeling that sounds snarky, but it's not meant as such, honest!)
Just a warning: Love Comes Softly the movie was the only one that was even close to the book.
The other movies were more than a bit loosely based upon the original books. Major plot, characters and the like were massively changed. So, while the books are far superior to the movies, you may want to warn kass that they will be very different from the movie series.
I loved all Janette Oke books when I was a preteen/teen. They were amazing books. But, I will agree with Andrea. The movies are very different. But I think the books are better than the movies, too!
Oooh I loved those books when I was Kassidy's age too! And by the way, I think you're doing a fabulous job raising your kids, and anybody that comes by just to be snarky, well...it makes you wonder, didn't their mama teach them any manners?
Just a quickie -- the toy Kass is playing with is named something like "Wheelo". I had one, too, and didn't know they made them again. ;-)
