Overheard

I am overhearing the best little conversation right now and just had to share it. While I am looking at email, Nicole, Morgan and Rachel are at the kitchen table painting and coloring. And then I start to hear a conversation about God. Nicole, "Rae Rae do you love God?" Rae Rae, "No" (grant her some slack, she's two almost three). Nicole, "But Rae Rae, I know you love God he doesn't do anything wrong. Are you sure you don't love God?". Rae Rae, "Yeah, I love God." Morgan, "you know Rae Rae, God is with you everywhere." Rae Rae, "Really". Morgan, "yes, I know for sure.". So I get to witness two miracles; 1. they are playing together without fighting, and 2. they actually listen to what they hear when we pray and teach them.

Preschool Fun

Today was Rachel's first field trip with her preschool. We went to Miller's Big Apple Orchard in Romeo. When I said I liked Fall, I meant the sunny, 60 degree days when you can be outside with a jacket or sweatshirt. Not today's weather, cloudy and 50 degrees. But we still had a lot of fun.

I was able to take the day off of work and join in on the fun. This is Mike's day off with Rachel, but they let me tag along. We saw the donuts being made, got a hayride, picked apples and then had cider and donuts.
Rachel was very excited about the hayride with her friends from school.

She also ate two apples right off the tree. We ended the morning with cider and donuts, and Rae had two donuts(very freshly baked), but didn't care for the cider.
It was a great morning despite the very cold temperature and wind. Rachel is really enjoying her preschool and I am enjoying watching her grow and learn, just not too fast. You're still my baby-Rae!

P.S. I have found a new website that lets me enhance my pics. Check it out, it is a lot of fun-www.picnik.com it is free.

A Great Big THANKS

Four Girls and their Prince was remolded by my very talented and creative friend, Becky Jo. I love the new look. It suits us very well. If you like the look, take a look at my "Friends who Blog" list and click on I'm still Clay and Sweet Abundance to see more of Becky Jo's handy work. When Becky Jo was working on this for us, I just had one request, no more pink. Nicole has spent the last 6years of her life(as soon as she could have an opinion) wearing nothing but pink. Miraculously, she wants little to do with pink this past year so I can move on to bigger and brighter colors. The ironic thing is, before Nicole was born, I told my mom how much I really didn't want a lot of "pink" for my baby shower. I had her spread the word that even though I was having a girl, I would "appreciate" other colors. God was laughing at me that day, (and mom ever since) because how could I know I would have a daughter who would only wear pink!!! Thanks again, Becky Jo, you're the best.
