been a while

well, it's been a while since i posted here. i really need to get back to blogging... hope this will be the beginning of that.

december:

christmas was great! the girls got tons of things they love. glass plate kit and tablets were just a couple of the items they loved!

new years: we were invited to party with scott and juanita again. we did this two years a go and had a blast both times! kenzie got really into karaoke. to the extent that she does it just about daily now!

january was quite the month. we decided very last minute to move. we are now sharing a huge house with scott and juanita. the girls have their own rooms and loads of yard to play in.

kenzie's birthday was a huge success last weekend. she has been singing glee karaoke revolution daily and doing some just dance three a lot as well :) the next day we took the family to the state fair. although it was VERY cold, we had a blast and came home with an expanded family. we now consist of juanita, scott, teddy (kalahula dog), nala (pitt mix), goober (beta fish), spunky (koi), ryan, dawn, kenzie, maddie, glowy (koi), dory (koi), goldie (goldfish), goldielocks (goldfish), and tanner (gold fish). goldie and tanner didn't make it. they passed away within a few days, but the rest of our fish family is doing great! oh and i almost forgot skye! our parakeet!

since that we have taken it easy. the car decided to start sounding like a nascar, but since scott knows how to weld we got that taken care of pretty quickly. and that's that. ryan will be working in orlando tomorrow and who knows where else LOL

that's all for now. hope to upload a few photo's at a later time :)

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.
