sweet pea

We're getting closer to my little sweet pea arriving. Only 35 days to go and I'll be a grandma :-)

Christmas card outtake

Taylor agreed to do photos today for my Christmas cards. Even though he agrees, he never really cooperates. But, we do have fun...
One of these days I'll get a good photo for the card. I hope.

Sweet

She just has the sweetest face...


AND, she is so silly...

Change

I didn't realize it's been so long since my last post. It has been crazy around here. I am in the process of buying a new office building. It has been in my old house, but we have outgrown that building. I've been looking for a new space for a while now, and every place has fallen through somehow. This one just seemed to magically fall into place. I believe it was the work of the Lord. The building was built as a church, and the owners wanted it to be used to serve the community. The back part of the building I've remodeled into counseling offices, and the former sanctuary is being used for family visits for kids who are in foster care.
I love being here! It is very peaceful. We often see deer, groundhogs, etc., and there are horses pastured out back.

Delightful

I took the day off Friday and had a girls day out with a dear friend and her daughter. We went to eat, then shopped a little, then ate some more. One of my favorite places for ice cream is Marble Slab. I ate some there AND got some to bring home. I brought home birthday cake and coffee flavors and they are both excellent. I still think my favorite, though, is sweet cream. I would describe it as just plain vanilla, but it is so much better than that. It was so nice to be able to just relax, enjoying good food and good friends. I think I should do that more often!

Beautiful Day

Today was absolutely gorgeous here. We've had such odd weather - going from high of 80 to high of 50 overnight. Today was in the 60s and very sunny. It was almost perfect, although I think the rose and lilac bushes are a little confused. Today was the first day in several weeks, or maybe months, that I walked around in the yard and took photos.
Ellee enjoyed being outside, too...
