Thanksgiving At The Pasonage

Saturday, December 1st, 2012

My neighbor made this pretty arrangement for me from pumpkins she baked. I love the colors she chose.

Like everything around the parsonage lately, this post is slow in coming, I know. I came down with a nasty cold on Thanksgiving day and have just begun to get back to feeling as normal as I can feel these days. Here’s a peak at our very simple Thanksgiving meal.

Halloweening

Wednesday, November 7th, 2012

These babies are stuck with a Mama who loves Halloween! This year our cast of characters were the Swan Queens Odette and um, Odette from the ballet Swan Lake, Odile the tricky Black Swan and Mini Pastor Hale who had his work cut out for him keeping all these girls in line.

July 4th

Sunday, July 8th, 2012

This is late, but here’s what we did. We started the day as we did last year, with a morning 3 mile race for Phil. He had a full stroller this year and did a great job! We played around the park and for a hot summer day it was surprisingly very pleasant. I didn’t want to go home. We lunched then headed to the homestead for early naps.

We decorated with some of our beautiful handmade decor, ate an “easy on Mama” supper of chips and brats, then came the firecrackers!

I know there are way too many slide shows flying around on this blog, but allow me one more…for now. So many pictures, it’s just easier to squeeze them into one place right? Here’s our big Independence Day celebration:

Music: Renee and Jeremy

 

After the babies were in bed Phil and I enjoyed fireworks from our porch and living room. It’s quite nice to live where the neighbors blow $500 on pyrotechnics and we can watch right out the window!

Hope you all enjoyed your celebration!

At The Parsonage

Essie’s first ponytail!

It’s been a busy weekend and this week will be no different. We’re getting ready for vacation bible school at our church and for the first time since we’ve been here, I’m attempting to teach and seeing why I haven’t been eager to do so before (even though I would have liked too). It takes some time to prepare for that, time I feel like I’m really having to squeeze in.

We’re also getting ready for our two week trip to Texas!!! We leave next Sunday, so packing, washing, cleaning etc will be squeezed into this week too. Just letting y’all know so you understand why this blog might be quieter than usual for the next few weeks!
