Because My Mom Requested

Sorry, I have been absent from the blog for almost a month! A lot has been going on and I am just plain tired. Also, I have messed up my back and it hurts to sit at the computer. I will blog more about what is going on in our life soon...it is totally not what we expected but we know God has us in his hands, and he will never lead us wrong.

This afternoon, JT took Ella to a class and it left Olivia, Sutton Grace and I home. Olivia did not like that she had to stay home, so I told her we would do something fun. It was snowing like crazy and something about it puts me in the baking mood. So we made peanut butter cookies. It is nice to get some one on one time with Olivia, it doesn't happen much.

After mixing everything together, Sutton begged for a taste of the beater.

Olivia said, "No, Sutton it has rotten eggs in it."
*Make note there were no rotten eggs, I said RAW eggs.


The class JT took Ella to was a fly tying class. She loves fishing just like her daddy and she loves doing art projects just like me. So, this was perfect for her. As part of JT's rehabilitation he is required to do things that help him relieve stress. This class is one of them. And it worked!

Ella tied the one second from the left. The first one was done by a professional. She was pretty good, huh? The orange one was tied by a "really old guy". To that really old guy, I am so sorry if my daughter called you that to your face. And then one of the blue ones was tied by a "kind of old guy". And to that kind of old guy, I am sorry as well.
