Your oliver has the life that you read about in story books. He’s so lucky to have you as a mamma.

Well…they are pretty funny looking…but then, so are real live wiggly toes!
I’ll reserve complete judgement until I see them in person. I hope you got the fushia color! That would be my choice.

Already stopped napping, eh? That would be hard! I advise a family “rest time” with quiet, even silent activities. But maybe you already have that. He looks like a happy and contented little guy. God bless.

Rachel–It’s been awhile since I’ve read any blogs…and just the other day I was re-reading one of my favorite books, and I found the letter you sent me tucked in the back–so I jumped on here to check your blog….and here is your post about letter writing….weird huh?

Rachel, I am usually pretty good about sending letters, but the art of care packages I have yet to learn. Thanks for the tutorial!

I go into spurts where I write write write, lots and lots of letters to various relatives…then I tend to go radio silent for quite some time…it’s something I’m working on.

I think that real mail is so much more sentimental and heart felt then an e-mail could ever pretend to be. but that’s just me. And honestly, I mostly send e-mails.

Preach it, sister!

Thank you for writing this–I needed to hear it. A lot.

It sums up in nice happy words what our Lord has been teaching me recently.

Too funny.

Thank you for sharing what I needed!

Compliments are meant to be received.
And when you are humble and not out to get the compliments (more perfectionistic stupidity), the compliments are a lot more fun!

Have a wonderful day!
