Shopping Trip

We went shopping yesterday in the 'burbs. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get everything checked off my list that I was looking for, but fortunately, I still have some time to look for the items that I need to get.

Most of the items that I need are actually for a photo session in March. We're getting 4 generation photos taken with my granny, my mom, me, and Callie. Then, we're also getting 3 year pictures taken of Callie (how is that possible?!?!?) and 9 month pictures of Gabriel (I can't believe it's time!). Our family has a tradition for 3 year pictures, a cream sweater with a creamy background. But I don't know, so far, I haven't had any luck finding a plain sweater, even online. I was also trying to find a nice outfit for me (no luck) and a nice outfit for Gabriel (nadda . . . )

It seems like every time I go to find an outfit for Gabriel, whatever size he's in just doesn't exist. When he was in 3-6 month for example, I wanted to get him some plain white undershirts. Were they anywhere to be found?? Nope. I looked in 5 different stores before giving up and none of them had plain white onsie undershirts in his size. Does that seem crazy to anyone else??

So yesterday, I was looking for a cute outfit to have him in for his 9 month pictures. There were tons of outfits in 3-6 months and 12 months + but the sections for 9 months outfits were less than an inch . . . What? Did everyone have children in June this year?? Seriously, it's getting ridiculous.

Anyway, yesterday wasn't a complete bust. I got some of the things that I was looking for. Like a good price on a coat for Gabriel for next year and a new dress for me. (I haven't bought myself a dress that wasn't maternity since right after Philip and I got married!)

The rest of this week was up and down. We had some problems with water in the basement and Philip got sick for one day. But overall it was a pretty normal week. Hope everyone else had a great week! God bless you and yours this weekend! :)

Sunday Morning

Yesterday, Callie came into my room while I was finishing up getting ready for church by putting on my jewelry. Callie: Mommy, you're very pretty. Me: Callie, that's very sweet. Thank you! Callie: You're welcome. Daddy's pretty too! Me: Oh Callie, you need to go tell him that . . . :)

Meanwhile, back at the Farm . . .

We're having some exciting happenings around the Booker Farm so I thought I'd write a little bit about what's going on with the kiddos. Callie Callie is so excited that we now have two dogs and three cats. Their names are (dogs) Belle and Ariel, (cats) Duchess, Dixie, and Thomas O'Malley -- Tom for short. She is very excited to be wrapping up another school year and looking forward to our travels this summer. She is taking on more responsibility around the house (which I love) and doing an excellent job for the most part in taking care of all the animals. I'm certainly enjoying watching her grow and blossom in so many ways, but this is especially significant to me. Philip and I are really striving to raise our children to be responsible, caring, and kind adults! I'm now teaching her on Wednesday Night Bible Class and I love observing her for the first time in a classroom setting as her teacher as well. She is a delight to have in class, if I may s...

Sometimes it's hard . . .

I feel like I've finally awoken from a long, chaotic dream. The past couple of weeks have gone so much more smoothly. The first 3 (or so) months with a new baby just throws my world upside down and inside out. While I'm in it, I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel --  that time when we all adapt to each other and find our new routine. I'm not saying I don't love it, because I do. I just don't love all of it! So I'll do a quick little catch up, write Nolan's birth story in another post and we'll be back on track. For a little bit at least. I think I've said before that I love writing. I mean love it. But for some reason, I've never been good at keeping a journal. I really want to. There are so many moments I want to make sure I write down and remember and I want to be good at keeping track of everything. But over and over again I prove it's just not something that I'm consistent with. It irritates me to the point th...
