~The children had a clean house, smiling faces, birthday cards waiting, confetti filling the air, and the absolutely BEST birthday sign EVER!
~Isn't this priceless? Good 'ol Scribe took the time to get these sweet hands messy in order to produce such a masterpiece. I'm so thankful!
~Scribe and Little Big Man gave me this WONDERFUL book called Meet the Puritans. I absolutely LOVE it, though perhaps my dear family is already getting a bit weary of my saying, "Did you know that ...."
~The only downside to this gift.....it's already causing me to add more books to my Most Wanted list. :) Truly, if you're interested in reading Puritan writings, and I say that you really should be, this book is an amazing resource.
I LOVE encouraging words, and I received so many in the thoughtful cards from my Mom and sisters and dear friends. Some even had Barnes and Noble gift certificates tucked inside. Hmm, me in a bookstore? Would I even know what to do?
~I was also blessed with a creation I've been coveting for awhile now. When Miss Caity first revealed her beautiful apron design on her blog and said she was making some as surprises for friends, I was really wishing I could be one of those friends. :) Wonder of wonders.....she made me this apron that I can even wear now with my almost-ready-to-be-delivered belly. :)
~No, Nicole, you can't have this!
~Mountain Man and I decided it would be a treat for us all to have a picnic in the park. So we got some fried chicken, of course, and headed out.
There was football playing as well as a bit of dragging across the lawn....playing on the swings and slides...and time enjoying that stuff called grass. Claire was quite amazed at the feel of the green prickles on her legs.
~Mountain Man thought he'd get an early start on Claire's football practice
~A most memorable birthday with one of God's greatest gifts to me....my amazing family.

What makes you think I would steal your your apron? I don't know how you knew I would have apron envy!
