For the last couple of months Elizabeth has been fascinated with playing "tea party!"  She will play it with anyone who will come along and sit with her and in these pictures she's playing with Emma (I am not too sure that Emma is thrilled by the idea since there isn't any real food.)

She loves going around the house with the tea spoons......
and when she's done everything goes back in the basket!

 Emma at least got some pets and love out of the tea party deal! 

Binky and I recently ventured out to see a friend and we had a great time having coffee (and in Binky's case coffee cake)!  Low and behold we figured that she finally has enough hair for pigtails so here she is modeling the newest pink clips!

 

Here are some more pictures of her "helping daddy" make popcorn from the safety of his shoulders.  Recently she has not liked loud noises!

Yummy and Messy Fun

 Enjoying cupcakes!  Who needs hair gel when you've got mint and chip ice cream cupcakes?!

 

 Victory against cupcakes!  Now to clean up!

 

Daily Blessings

My mind has been very much on blessings that we have been given the last few weeks and how often we overlook them.  They often seem to come in small packages and since we're looking for the "big impact" moments in our lives we commonly pass by the important everyday gifts that we are given.  It's been in my thoughts and it seemed worth sharing.



"Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow." -James 1:17 (NASB)
