Ok that, about sums up the summer... obviously there were things that happened in between and I will try to post those as the fall goes on, but for now you are caught up on our crazy life.

Missing Link: Build-a-Bear

(wondering what missing link is? Click here for explanation)

My sister Morning Dawn got the girls a build-a-bear certificate for Christmas. So we all went together to stuff the bears. Kimberly got a peguin and Princess #2 got a moose. Each of them got a Tinker Bell outfit for their bear and some shoes and a purse. They had a great time and it is still their preferred stuffed animal to sleep with!

MISSING LINK: Princess #2 4th Birthday

( wondering what missing link is? Click here for explanation)
In January Princess #2 turned 4. We had a small family party on her actual birthday and we then had a Tinker Bell party at church. She was/is big into fairies right now with the new Tinker Bell movie. I always struggle with her birthday because it falls so close to Christmas and I am worn out with all the partying and family functions. Her birthday is also the day before my mother's and a week before the Pharmacist's and 10 days before the Snuggler's (although he is 1/2 way across the Continent). This year was no different, we did try and separate out Grandma and Aunt Pharmacist's birthday. A lot of her friend's and their families were sick with the stomach bug and it was shortly there after our family made our own downward spiral into sickness. Now all that being said, Princess #2 seems no worse for the wear and she loved her party and everything that she brought home (all she wanted for the party was a violin with strings) so I guess I should just stop stressing and deal with life!

Missing Link Posts

After Christmas things got really busy around here and we went through (and still going through) a long spell of illness. During this week of spring break I will try and catch up on some of those missing posts that I meant to do. You will see them tagged with "Missing Link"

Congratulations to the Pastor and Pharmacist

My brother and sister-in-law just bought their first home. We were able to go up and see it last weekend before they began to remodeling work. It is an older home and needs some serious updating. They will actually be moving in during May but first they are tearing out the kitchen and bathroom to update. It is a great home that has alot of potential! Congratulations Uncle Pastor and Aunt Pharamist!
