Beautiful! <br /><br />The kids are precious, and I am thankful that you and your growing little one are doing well! So excited for your family--and thankful that God has heard all of our prayers.<br /><br />I had pink eye recently and it really stinks! Hope you get clear of goop soon. :) Have a great weekend pressure washing!<br /><br />~Abby HuttoAbby Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15973550114242558795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627823383430900025.post-79348401718467323932013-05-13T20:27:32.830-05:002013-05-13T20:27:32.830-05:00I love your blog, and we really had a wonderful ti...I love your blog, and we really had a wonderful time too!

I am smit...:) Oh Jen, how I adore your sweetness!<br /><br />I am smitten with my house too, but daily...hourly..I have to remind myself that the only thing I can't do after raising my children is raise my children. As I climb my unfinished stairs, I grumble in my heart so often. I see what this house will be but I really do envy those who have finished, pretty, decorated houses that needed no vision to live in everyday. <br /><br />I had a talk with God...a long one about the servant/maid role and it's still being worked out in me. I feel like God impressed upon my heart that I was looking at the issue all wrong. Yes, I should love serving my family and should do so with love, however, those things I do are skills my children need. I clearly heard "Melissa, you already know HOW to do these things...do your children?" So it wasn't about doing FOR them in the manner of serving them, but I really needed to pass that baton to them so they could feel they, too, were needed. We go by the phrase "Everyone should bring a stick to the fire." We put on music, work together and rest together. Anyone old enough to make a mess is old enough to clean up a mess (even if they are in Momma's arm while she picks it up and talks about it!) <br /><br />And now I am blessed beyond measure. My 6 year old made me eggs the other day and I was in awe. My 9 year old regularly cooks dinner all by himself, not because he has to, but because he wants to (yes, there is supervision, but he is surprisingly diligent about safety!)<br /><br />Your dinner party looked wonderful ;) You are an amazing hostess!! I have a lot of learning to do in that area! I'm always a nervous wreck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808214350336520145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627823383430900025.post-76381371969906830212013-05-12T17:50:32.007-05:002013-05-12T17:50:32.007-05:00FAB!

I need lessons on how to prepare everything so well ahead of time! <br /><br />OH, and we have the same iron! Or at least a pretty similar one, ours was yikes-pricey at Target 9 years ago. I bought it with wedding gift cards and Hubby couldn't believe I spent that much on an iron, but that thing is still kicking, and gets his white coats Westpoint-worthy crisp. Love it. :)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944994623159561187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627823383430900025.post-6334406452628112562013-05-11T14:34:33.483-05:002013-05-11T14:34:33.483-05:00Oh my goodness...your table is gorgeous and Little...Oh my goodness...your table is gorgeous and Little Man as Grandma is absolutely HILARIOUS! <br /><br />Hope your pink eye resolves quickly.
