Wow what a week so far!

We have had such a strange week so far. First on Monday, not much happened. Tuesday, the car started acting up again. Now for today. Ryan had Maxx follow him to Ramsey to put the car in the shop. Maxx brought him home. We waited all day. Finally Trevor, the mechanic, called us and said, they couldn't find anything that would be causing the car to act up and that we could pick it up at anytime. He had done diagnostic tests to no avail. He checked the fuel filter and no dirt was comming out. He put in gas treatment and took it for a drive, it sputtered one time on him and so he decided he would put heat in the tank. The heat was meant to evaporate any water that might be in the tank. He came to a final conclusion that we must have just gotten a hold of some bad gas. That was a blessing and a curse all in one! Ryan had taken the day off to get the car fixed and that was all it was. I decided that if it continued doing it, we would have Joey come down and take off the crank sensor and take it to have it tested. If it tests ok, then we will drop it, if it tests negative, we will replace it. We haven't had to go to that extreme yet, but I am just getting it into place so that if we have to we know what to do. Now onto other things. Kenzie had a great day at school. Maddie surprised me today. I got her out of the crib right as the bus got here to drop Kenzie off. We opened the door for Kenzie and then when she was in the house, I stood Maddie up and went about the daily ritual of finding out what Kenzie did at school. I looked up and Maddie was taking steps. One, Two, Three. Pause. One, Two. About that time, I was trying to video her, she got down and crawled. The little stinker! She just wants to do it when no one is watching. She will take off real soon i think. I will post the video when I get it. I think that about does it for tonight. Have a great evening.
Love,
~Dawn~

The importance of connections

 Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways.  Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
