The happenings in the Cox house.

Not a lot of happenings in the Cox house here today. Maddie played and Kenzie went to school while Ryan worked and I did the Mommy thing. When Kenzie got home from school, she went to her computer (Roy's old one) and typed in KENZIE in the correct order. So I am seeing some progress. She is recognizing that the letters make up her name and she is able to put them together to form her name correctly most of the time. She is still struggling with speech at school but I know it will be a slow process. I just don't know why she has such a hard time with the k sound. If we can get her to understand that she is saying it wrong, she would probably correct it in no time at all. We put the bookshelf downstairs today and Amanda, the girls love it. Thanks so much. I went ahead and gave it to them because I knew they would love it and Kenzie knows that it is from Riley and Shelby (and you and Deke) for Christmas. They put their books on it tonight and the books cover where the personalization would have been so it works great! Thanks a bunch. Ryan came home from work late tonight so I cooked chicken, green beans and Mac and cheese. Kenzie fell asleep at about 8 and I am working on planning the two cakes I have comming up. One is for Ryan to take to work with him. He has to provide the cake for Kendra for her birthday since they do an exchange in the therapy department. Tony does Ryan's cake and Ryan does Kendras kind of thing. I also have a birthday cake comming up for a little boy who loves High School Musical, so I am thinking about making a sheet music cake. 2 layers chocolate with white icing and then piping the music notes and bars on it. I saw one and thought it was cute. but I don't know for sure. Will just have to wait and see what I do with it. I still have a week to think on it. And other than that nothing going on. Talk to you all soon.
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.
