Thank you Mom!

We have had quite a year, and well, here goes a brief explaination. I was able to get Kenzie on the track to getting speech therapy in January with the help of Mrs. Monroe. Then over the summer while trying to get financing for the house in Jeffersonville, God made it possible for us to get financing for the house I grew up in here in Charlestown, now he has made it possible for us to get a second vehicle. Mom told me this morning that she and Pop had talked about it and that they agree to sell us the van! Thank you Jesus! We have needed one for some time and were just waiting for the right time and deal! Man did she give me one! I love this vehicle! Now when we get ours back from Mike, Mom will use the van until she finds another car for her and we will have two cars! No more being stranded in my own home. I can start taking the girls places! That is what I love the most. We can start those play dates that we have been missing! Also, Kenzie is doing great! She took her plates to school for tomorrow's party, and they loved them! She is going to go in her ballerina outfit (weather permitting) and if not, I will come up with something creative. It should be interesting to see what she actually ends up wearing. Maddie is enjoying her time with her big sister. She runs around her chasing her! She loves her big "inzi" and she is starting to try and say more words now days. She says "mil" which is milk. And "dada, mama, papa, nana" those are just a few. She has said "yaya" a couple of times. That is what the girls call Ryan's mom and it happens to be greek for grandma. I was shocked when Kenzie decided when she was Maddie's age to start calling her that. Ryan is still contemplating about the higher paying position he was offered. He said he wants to take his time thinking abou it since it means he will be away from us for 6 months out of the year. It will be hard for all of us, but if it is what God has planned, we will get through it and praise the Lord for caring enough to get him this job. I will keep you all updated. Anyway, I guess that does it except for the fact that it is still raining here. I almost feel like that we live in a rainforest here lately! LOL! From what I hear it will be raining for the rest of the week :( but then we do need it! Anyway, I will talk more later!
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.
