The chair originally was yellow and black, with a few other colors mixed in here and there. It took primer, plus three or four coats of the cream paint to cover everything before I could start painting the flowers and humming bird.
Finally finished! :)
These two little people were so happy to be playing outside today! It's been nice to have 
...Like the time they were caught playing in the toilet. lol, Yes, I actually took the time to take their picture before washing them up. I figured it would be something to show them when they get older. :)
Or the time Abby thought the wall looked like a good place to use crayons. Willy's expression, along with the fact that Abby was pointing at the wall and repeatedly saying "No No!, No No!!" as I took this picture makes me laugh when I look at it. (btw, Ajax worked wonders on removing the crayon, for which I was very thankful:)).
Wherever Abby is, William is never far away:). Here they are trying to empty out a container of milk powder before I got to the kitchen one morning.
The two little partners who are loved very much around here.:) All the crazy, amazing, tired, precious, busy moments add up to something beautiful. God is good, and we are enjoying life.
It is not as much what happens, but how we take it that is important. God is watching to see whether we allow the problems to defeat us, or whether we will go through them in His strength, being made stronger for the next problem and ultimately for the final end battle.
On my list of thing I want to try doing is making sauerkraut (and pickles). When I was little, my Grandpa used help us make sauerkraut. I remember going down in the basement and watching him check the big crock of kraut to see how the fermentation was going. After about six weeks it was finished, and my mom would then can it for us to enjoy later. My favorite way to eat it was when my mom would mix it with sausage and stewed tomatoes with a little sugar. We first learned to eat it that way from an older man from church we called "Uncle Henry". He had us all over for supper one night and fixed this dish. But back to the kraut,:) I had been looking up the process of making it, but my problem was I didn't have any crocks. Then, a few days ago I saw an ad in the "Bargain Hunter". Someone was selling three crocks, a eight, five and three gallon and they only wanted $23 dollars for all three! What make it even nicer was it was right here in the town where we live. I went to look at them and since none had any cracks I got them all. I was excited to get such a good bargain! Hopefully, I can post more about how the sauerkraut making progress goes when I try it. :)
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. Psalm 139 13:14cff
-Is there another word for synonym?
This picture makes me smile so I thought I would post it. :) It was taken last month when we were in Florida visiting my family. Abigail loved the beach. It's so sweet to watch a little one's wonder when they discover something new.
....I had won a hundred dollar Tim's card! The odds of winning one is: 1 in 11,434; Not bad eh? :)
Here is a little about Tim's if you are not familiar with it. :) Here in Canada, Tim Horton's is the largest food service operator; there are actually more of them up here in there are McDonald's! They are everywhere, and a good thing too, because we go to one just about every time we are in town (everyone knows they have the best coffee;). I actually don't drink much coffee, but I do enjoy their hot chocolates, cappuccinos, and ice caps. Every year for a month, they give away prizes, if you buy a hot drink from Tim Horton's you get to roll up the rim on their cup to see if you won anything. It's always fun when we know "Roll Up the Rim" is on:). It was pretty neat to win something this big:)!
