Allyn's Turned 7!
I know I'm a little behind, but when aren't I lately?!
Allyn turned 7 on November 13th. She wanted a Princess Strawberry Shortcake birthday party. She had a strawberry cake with strawberry frosting and we made homemade strawberry ice-cream! She had a great time with her grandparents and cousins being here and is very excited about being 7!
She wanted me to make her dress this year (usually she wants me to buy her one). Her requirements were that it was a bright pink. Our material choices were somewhat limited, but she liked the combination that I suggested and loves the finished dress.

Gifts & Treasures
Have you ever been given a gift-
something you wanted, to be sure-
and when you opened the package,
were amazed it really was yours?
Imagine you looked in your pocket
for some money you’d tucked in somewhere
and gasped in surprise, ‘cause instead of a five
you found hundreds hidden in there?
We have been given a treasure
and we couldn’t help but share
the riches added to our lives,
the joy that’s been multiplied there.
We’ve been given a gift we so wanted:
another precious child.
We’re thrilled with our family expansion;
we can’t seem to suppress our smiles.
We are so excited,
and we know you will be too,
for this gift of one more person to love
is a blessing also to you.
We’ve used this little poem
to share with you our good news.
We know you might find it surprising
and you may be a little confused.
So when you’ve had time to think
and are happy for us, too ~
when you have joyful words about what you’ve heard,
we look forward to hearing from you!
Some things need emphasizing: It's very important, you see,
that we see only reactions of happiness, smiles and glee!
So once you've had time to digest it, and been able to ponder it all,
when you have a nice word about all that you've heard,
feel free to give us a call!

Cora is 4!
I've been really busy and because of slow internet, reluctant to take the time to post pictures from Cora's birthday. I figured it was about time! Her birthday was September 15th.
Cora wanted a Dora birthday party and she wanted purple cupcakes. I used blueberry juice to color the frosting and put blueberries in the cupcake batter. She also requested a purple dress.
