Ring Around the Rosies... A Pocket Full of Posies

A Happy 2nd Birthday Party...  

We played ring around the rosies almost as many times as she would've loved.

...And had a pocket posie purse scavenger hunt with whoopie cushions, balls and sparkly rings. 

 All the cousins had a hit on the posie flower pinata, and then we read and acted out the book "Mr. Gumpy's Outing."  Pops read; Bryan was Mr. Gumpy.  At the end of the book they walk across the field and have a tea party... so that's what we did.  Abby loved blowing out the candles all by herself, with only a little help from Lucy.

Dolls & Getting Bigger

A normal day... wearing something sparkly and playing dolls in her room while the other girls nap.

 She was so excited to show me that she's growing and her feet can touch the floor.

Remembering Samuel's Home-Going

"What is faith?   

It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen.  

It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see... 

All these faithful ones [Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah] died without receiving what God had promised them, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed the promises of God.  

They agreed that they were no more than foreigners and nomads here on earth.  

And obviously people who talk like that are looking forward to a country they can call their own.  

If they had meant the country they came from, they would have found a way to go back.  

But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland.  

That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, 

for He has prepared a heavenly city for them."

Hebrews 11:1, 13-16
