Another poem- A Bio Poem

So my dad said he liked my last poem. Thanks Dad. I'm taking another go at it.
Here's the link if you'd like to give it a try.

Angie
Compassionate, Sincere, Intense
Wife of a loving husband
Lover of teaching, truth, and a good hug
Who feels-- to really know something you must teach it, family and friends are more valuable than work and money, inadequate when comparing herself with others
Who needs-- to pray more, to sacrifice, to remember I am loved
Who fears-- that I'll never heal from the past, disappointing others, God's plan is different than my plan
Who gives-- generously to what I believe in, time to those put in my path, a hoot about a lot of things others don't care about
Who would like to see-- friends and family grow to an old age, people seek what is good, beautiful and true, my girls to grow in holiness
Resident of-- "smalltown" Wisconsin with hopes of eternity in Heaven

100th day

I intended to post this last week...and it got away from me.

A few weeks ago we received this letter in the mail. Meta, a dear friend of ours, sent a request for a letter as her class was hoping to collect 100 letters marking their 100th day of school last week. Well they did it! Happy 100th day Meta and thanks for the mail.

A Win Win!

We're thrilled with a Packer WIN! And our niece Lauren was Confirmed receiving the GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT! Horray, hooray, hooray! Enjoy the pics...I'm hooraying myself to bed!





GO PACK GO!!

A January Update

This winter month we've been keeping busy with all sorts of things. Here are a few...

Kate received a kitchen for Christmas from my brother and sister-in-law. She was SO excited to open it and has been playing with it nearly non-stop since. We do a lot of cooking and feeding babies. It has found a home in our living room and I am so grateful for the independent play its brought with it.

Crawling. Yes, Julia has been on the go for a few weeks now and into EVERYTHING. I've had numerous reminders that my floors are not as clean as they might appear and that babies have good eyes for spotting my weaknesses. ;-)

Outside the weather has been chilly but on the milder snow days Kate has really been enjoying the outdoors. She love bundling up in all her gear and will willingly spend a half hour playing with a bucket and snow in the yard. Here she is with dad 'working' in the garage.

Eating. Well it seems like I never stop-its a good thing I burn plenty of calories! And Julia has just started enjoying meals with us. Initially we tried some veggies but there wasn't much interest. After being on antibiotics I offered her some yogurt and it her interest has just blossomed. Beans, squash, yogurt and prunes are favorites.

Baths had been on our dislikes list for awhile. Kate didn't like that they included washing and Julia didn't like the fact that they included water. Recently the tides have turned. Since Julia has become a confident sitter bathing together became an option. And baths are now a good thing.

I'd really like to win this book for a friend who's having baby #5 on Monday. I'll probably end up buying it but posting here will get me three more chances!
