A well spent day

I'm thankful for all we got accomplished today, as a family:) 
- house thoroughly cleaned
- outside area all cleaned up
- trashed dumped
- littles had their baths
- driving with Dad
- cow milked~twice
- all three meals made and cleaned up
- grain shed cleaned out (and mice caught) 
- time to play with neighbor children
- time with Jesus 
- ricotta cheese made...
And I got the stuffed shells in the oven for tomorrow:)
And tomorrow- I start a new list of tasks...but I'm so thankful for my family; we live each day together, working through the problems, rejoicing in our blessings, and enjoying each ones company- together. 
And as the stuffed shells are cooking, I have my a couple more things to do before bed:) 

I know I usually try to share pictures with you, but recently, while at work, my iPod was waterlogged, and so I don't have it to take pictures anymore. But you'll be happy to know I have one for you:) 
The stuffed shells baking:) 

Oh, I do have this one too:) Little sisters helping are always great! 
Just before this picture was taken, she said, "you're my best friend". Now isn't that sweet? 
I thank Jesus for sending us this little precious gift! 

And until next time,
Elise

Passing unnoticed

Sometimes it seems like life moves very slowly, and other times it seems that it moves very quickly. It seems that the opposite of what I want, happens. If I wish for it to move slowly, it moves quickly, and if I wish it would move quickly, it moves slowly. Nevertheless, the past 5 months have come and gone like a flash. I can hardly believe January is almost over. I realize that there may be very few people who read my blog; perhaps a lot of that has to do with how infrequently I write. ;) But I was thinking about what I might blog about and looking through pictures... I guess it is really the little things that make up a beautiful life. It's the little things everyday that make fond memories. I tend to be so task oriented that I forget to stop and notice the dew drops on the flower, the frost patterns on the window, the unique sunrise... the smiles which are flashed at me every day. And then- suddenly these precious times are gone. It's a new stage of life, the things w...

Florida Bound!

Hello, hello, hello! I know it's been so long since I have written, but if you read my previous posts, you'll know why I was too busy to post. Back in mid to end of April, I went to Florida with my sister Olivia and Mom, for two weeks. What a time we had. We made many good memories together and Olivia and I packed as many "firsts" in those two weeks as possible. A few of those firsts include, flying, fishing, parasailing and going through the airport by ourselves on the trip back since mom left after the first week. We had such a good time, and I am glad my sister made such an effort to make it happen. {thank you Olivia!!} I will include the best pictures I have and I hope you enjoy them:) A couple things I learned while down there are: One- just because you have three girls from the same family doing something together, doesn't mean they all agree on what is "fun". But despite we all had different opinions, we worked together to have a grand  time:...

Reflections

Reflections are very interesting...they help you see the objects and scenery around you in a new way. I took some neat reflection shots today, and thought I would share them:) A smiling face in a tea cup:) Yes, I know, the computer screen is pretty dirty;) And while we are on the subject of reflections...I thought I would "reflect" on January so you get a little update on what I have been doing:) Since I was working in the general contracting world for several months, I learned some useful skills, and have recently been putting them to good use here in my home. We built our home many years ago, but moved in before the interior was finished. Doors needed to be put up, base trim, door trim, and painting all needed to be done. So now that I have those skills, and some time, I have taken on the job of finishing the inside of our house:) When I get a chance, I will take some pictures of projects I finish and post them for you. Besides that, I am still te...
