1) This is how Rebekah spent a good part of our first official day of school: doing her and her sister's hair!
Later she decided she wanted to look like Julius Caesar:
2) Miriam has insisted on wearing/carrying this backpack around the house - everywhere.
I have no idea where she got this idea. None of the other kids have backpacks right now. We are not going anywhere that she might need a backpack. She has been doing this for about a week now. I will be curious to see how long it lasts.
3) Rebekah got some new shoes.
She bought them with her own money (they are on sale right now - 50% off!!). They are Kigo brand (I have two pairs of the same kind - different style and color). I think they suit her well.
4) We now have rock behind our garage.
Since we own two giant vehicles that we are unable to actually put IN our garage, we would normally park them beside or behind the garage on the grass or dirt at the edge of the alley. Well, the alley was recently redone as the city replaced the gas lines, so we decided now was a great time to go ahead and rock around the garage. We are most pleased and parking is so much better.
5) Jacob is now SEVEN-YEARS-OLD!!
Time flies. In any case, I was lazy for the actual day of his birthday (we had a party with extended family a few days earlier) so he got "birthday cookies" complete with candles. Great-Mom-of-the-year award here.
6) The National Right to Life is doing a campaign right now called "Can't put a price on Life."
Here is the picture I submitted for them to use.
7) I made it to the Sacrament of Reconciliation today.
All I can say is that NEVER gets old!! Praise God for forgiveness!
