My protege

Molly has been embroidering up a storm here. Wait until I show you the quilt she's working on! I made this little pillow but we both agreed it was too plain, so she absconded with it and added her own special touch. She doesn't have her own blog (being all of 11 yrs, that makes sense), so she's been begging me to showcase it here. :) This is the finished product:

I'm recovering from a weekend of strep. Thankfully we caught it early so the downtime was shortened and it looks like no one else caught it. Being sick all weekend left me in the wake of no housework for several days, so today will be a true catch-up day. There is a lot going on in our little family, even more in the church at large, and all of it needs prayer and proactivity on my part. I did make it to the evening service last night and the sermon was on the danger of doing nothing. Very inspiring...I'm off to do something.

How the mighty have fallen

My sister has a blog. I thought I'd never see the day. When you have a baby this cute you just want to tell the world! We talk fairly often, and we were friends before, but I think the fact that we are both mothers changed our relationship significantly. For starters, even though we are total opposites when it comes to personality, interests, and fashion (she has me beat in all three areas), we have a lot more in common now. I am looking forward to more pictures, more little everyday cute things Eli has done, and more insight into her ever-expanding world. How can you not love the name of her blog? Thanks, Jax.
