Easter 2009

Well, actually this was taken on Palm Sunday, since we were in KY on Easter Sunday.
We had to get an 'Easter' pic with Honey our Bunny.

Honey's paws were a little muddy so we just sat her in a hat to keep the dress clean.

Totally bummed

If you have talked to me in person since September then you know how much I love L_O_V_E the house we are renting. You probably had to endure me talking about the lovely space here (esp compared to our apt) and our fabulous backyard. And how I tell Chad at least once a week (if not more) 'thank you' for moving us into this lovely home. It suits our lifestyle perfectly.
So why am I so bummed?
Our landlord put the house up for sale :( I am totally bummed! I do not want to move!!!
But I think about how much I didn't want to move to GA, but ended up really enjoying it down here, so maybe a move will be fine. But did I mention how much I really like this house??
The rent for this house we got at a discounted rate with a promise for an even deeper discount next year. The owner wanted a PhD student family in here and was willing to rent at a discount to us. So even though there are other homes for rent not too far away.....we couldn't afford them.
I love this house, this neighborhood, my location to where to I live my life.

Plus it is a real hassle living in a home that is on the market. People wanting to come see it, interrupting my life.

Friends

A couple weeks ago, we watched two cute kids for the day. This is a lovely family from our Sunday School class.

We did some 'school'

When I put bows in Rose's hair.....this little cutie wanted bows in his hair too.
playing...

napping.....

A few days later they brought us this delicious and HUGE meal. It was very good. And I didn't have to cook for days....

4 year old Pictures

Yes I barely squeaked in pictures while she was still 4.

The Book was better.....

This afternoon (thanks to Netflix) Rose and I watched the 1952 movie 'Robinson Crusoe' We were both looking forward to watching the movie since we enjoyed the book so much. But half way through the movie we paused it and Rose was eager to share that the book was much better than the movie. :) It always is dear...it always is.....I am just glad you can realize that at such a young age.
By the Way we just finished reading 'The Little House in the Big Woods' by Laura Ingalls Wilder. We plan on starting 'The Little House on the Prairie' this afternoon.

And since I am kind of on the subject I wanted to share....that my dear precious girl is reading on a 1st grade level....something she achieved while she was 4 years old. I am so happy to have such a lovely little girl to spend my days with and to 'train up'.
