Another Milestone

My babies are growing up! Today my girls both did something that makes them look more grown up. FlowerChild went first but LadyBug did not want to do it. Later on though, once she saw that her sister had made it through, she decided to go for it.

They both had their ears pierced! FlowerChild chose large, sparkly pink studs. LadyBug chose little, dainty green studs. They both needed Mama to hold their hand but neither one cried. They look so pretty!

Tomorrow we will count 6 weeks out on the calendar so they can see when these earrings can come out. They are already looking at the earring selection to see what they want next!

    Oh I'm so proud of them both. We've been talking about it for Chicken Little, but I think I'm definitely going to wait until she's old enough to decide for herself. Can't wait to see the girls with their new jewels!!!!!!

    Mama Hen,
    I think little baby girls are so cute with pierced ears but I just never could bring myself to do it. I just felt more comfortable letting them decide for themselves.
    Oh, they are both so excited about showing everyone!

    Your girls are very brave. I should have had my daughter's peirced when she was younger. She wants to now but is too afraid of the pain, and she is eleven.

    Treany,
    Oh, poor thing! Some people are just very afraid of pain. One thing that helped, I think, is that there were two ladies doing it. So they got everything lined up and did both ears at the same time. Maybe that would be an idea for your daughter! :)

    Angela,
    Yes, and I am sure when they heal in 6 weeks we will immediately head to the nearest store! I can just hear them, " I want these, Mama, they look like Angela!" I hear that all the time whether it is clothes or shoes so why not earrings too? :) Love ya, sweetie!

The Season of Pregnancy (updated)

I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...

Latest on GuitarMan

I haven't made a practice of sharing photos with a full facial view on here. However the GuitarMan isn't too worried about that LOL! With many of you praying for him I thought you might like to have an idea of who he is. He is still in a lot of pain. His fingers are all black and blue and his entire hand is swollen. His hand is cut straight across his fingers and across the bottom of his hand. Once again, very obvious what could have happened. He's blown away by everyone caring and checking in him and the prayers on his behalf. He says to thank you all!

Power Bills

We lucked out last month on our power bill. We received a credit on our bill which helped tremendously. A lot of folks were shocked at how high their bills were, however. I can't blame them! Some of the figures I heard were outrageous! $500-600, one even $1200! One thing that got me was that many of these people work outside the home and their children are in school or daycare so the house stands empty all day. Not only that, but their families are much smaller so things like the washer, dryer, or stove would not be used as frequently. Shouldn't their bill be lower than ours? I think it has everyone trying to come up with ways to save on power. There are some things that are a given. Good insulation and windows go a long way towards helping lower a bill. When we first moved into our home the windows were very old. Some were cracked or even broken. The church eventually replaced them which was a huge blessing! But what were we to do in the meantime? Well, one way is to buy th...
