Six Years Old

I remember one evening I was standing in my bedroom in Florida with my friend Carrie. She looked at baby Lydia and smiled. “Isn’t it incredible? She has your nose! She is the first blood relative you have ever met on earth.” Wow… I can close my eyes and still take in that moment. The Father’s love for me as I looked at her overwhelmed me with joy!

Lydia Kate. The sound of her name brings me joy and laughter and brings me to my knees in prayer. I cannot believe five years have come and gone and stand in awe of God’s goodness in her life. To Him be praised and may her life be a journey to know Him and spread His love to others!

Footed PJs

Just last night after I put the kids to bed I thought to myself, “Man! I’m freezing. Where are the footed pajamas for moms?!” I envied my children as I zipped all of them up in their full coverage of fleece especially since I hadn’t even figured out where I’d last seen my winter pj pants.

Well, well, Target to the rescue, my friends.

Have you seen these? Awesome!

Check out those pretty pink bunny feet!

I was so excited that I begged Lydia to take my picture right there (she’s not old enough yet to be embarrassed by my dry humor) before we headed out for the Tea Farm Grand Opening party.

I didn’t see any of you there! And to think I wore my pink pajamas! (Nah – I’m just pulling your leg…or, your rabbit (har) – but Shepherd wore his…see?)

Ha… It was really fun, though. The kids had such a great time, made some new friends, and all of us enjoyed the crowd, food, music, and shopping.

All I have to say is my sewing buddies better look out — I think I’m coming to our next sewing night with some pink bunnies on my feet. You know you can’t wait!

Tea Farm Grand Opening – Take 2

Back again with news of Tea Farm Cottage in Summerville, SC!

If you are around the Charleston area this weekend, be sure to drop by Tea Farm on Cedar St. in Summerville on Saturday the 17th for the official Grand Opening of the store. There will be a balloon release at 1:00 pm, food and drinks, demos, and of course shopping during the rest of the afternoon!

Deborah has done a fantastic job of opening the store. She has gathered the diverse talents of over 80 sellers in her shop to offer the community a wonderful little place to find handmade treasures. Each time I have gone has been a trip to drop off products or do something business-related. I can’t wait to get some time in there for a little Christmas shopping! See you there!
