Great Strides Walk

Hello Friends!

I wanted to post a little note to let you know about a fundraising project I'm honored to be participating in. It's called Great Strides and it benefits the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

A work friend of mine has a son, Parker, who is 16 months old and has been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. The CFF has been making great strides toward medicines that could help him and people like him with CF.

Please think about helping me reach my goal and help kids like Parker breath easier by clicking the link below and donating. Every little bit counts. Thank you.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sorry for my absence lately here in this space. I have been very busy working and dealing with some new dietary restrictions. I will be back here soon to keep you updated on what I've been up to. Lots of projects in the works. Including the one in the above picture. I knit a bunch of little hearts for the children in my life that I love so much. I'm now working on a bunch more which I will fill with my thoughts of thankfulness and things and people I love. I'm thinking of finding some great pottery piece to put them all in.

The Heart Pattern can be found here.
Ravelry page found here.

Trick-or-Treat!

And just in case you are wondering, Little Miss up there is Pirate Pippi Longstocking- her favorite character of all times, Middle Miss is a box of puppies for sale, and Big Miss is a fox. Happy Halloween!

Also, if you haven't noticed, Little Miss didn't want too many pics taken today, frown-y girl!

Celebration.

This is my entry for the i heart faces challenge this week. The theme is  "hands". This is my pastor and his wife on the day he was installed as our new pastor. This picture captures his genuine passion for his job and appreciation for life.

This is my entry for the touch of sun challenge on I Heart Faces.

Excuse me...

While I brag about the adorableness of my children. My mom took portraits of the kids last week and I just wanted to share them. You can see them here.  Please excuse the poor quality of the one below. I swiped it off my facebook page (shhhh....don't tell :) 

In other news: The Help, the movie was really good. I highly recommend it as well as the book. The movie represented the book well it was only missing a few scenes that were memorable from the book, but nothing that bothered me too much. 

Weekending

Yep, I know it's Tuesday. We are having a crazy busy summer so we are finding our weekends here and there, an evening on a Wednesday, time between working at the theater and working at the studio. Yesterday we celebrated Daddy's birthday. We attempted Frisbee golf (managed two holes before we gave up), ate red velvet cupcakes, and ended our evening with a date to Applebee's for half-off appetizers and watching Captain America at the theater.
