Commitment to Loveliness

October 20th, 2010 by Aubri

Thanks to Mat. Emily for the inspiration to do some lovely things this week! Here are my goals:

1. Invest in some real facial cleanser and moisturizer. You’d all be appalled to know what my current skin care regiment consists of!
2. Finish Thank You notes
3. Send a Get Well note to a congregation member.
4. Paint my toenails (it’s the little things!)
5. Bake pumpkin muffins

I’m half way through my thank you notes, yay!

What about you ladies? Any goals to increase femininity and loveliness in your week?

“But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction, and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.” 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13

October is Pastor appreciation month. Here is a list of some ways you can show your pastor your appreciation and love.

Pumpkin Patch

Finally the girls are getting old enough to have fun at the pumpkin patch near town. The first year Phil and I went Lily was only 2 months old, so she tried, but didn’t get much out of it. They had apple slinging, a tricycle course, a haunted forest, a corn maze, zip lines, go carts, baby roller coasters and a barn dance on the weekend. Very impressive for something a local woman and her family put on by themselves I thought. In another year or two this place is gonna be a blast!

Collecting Satisfactions

October 19th, 2010 by Aubri

Boo-Hoo Lily c. 2009

Lily’s new thing is wanting to look in the mirror at herself while she cries and if she’s not crying hard enough by the time she gets to the mirror she’ll pretend she’s crying so she still gets a good show. She must get this from me.
