Callie





Callie is my little fashionista! Here she is showing off one of her scarves that I made for her. She is starting to have very specific requests as far as what she wears.

The other day, I was realizing that Callie's clothes were not fitting as well on the children's hangers. Kinda perfect since I was about to need a whole bunch more children's hangers. I had this feeling of . . . I guess nostalgia is the best word . . . as I switched my firstborn's clothing to adult hangers and pulled out her old clothes and put them on the children's hangers to hang up in the nursery for our new addition. It was a little bittersweet really. Remembering when Callie wore the different outfits or the people that bought them for her. And now that little girl who's clothes used to fit tightly over the baby hangers now has clothes big enough that they need to be on adult size hangers . . .

I've heard it a lot lately, and I've been realizing more and more how much it is true, "The days are long and the years are short." It's definitely proving to be true over and over again.

That's all for tonight. :-) Food for thought.

God bless you and yours!

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...
