Busy Week

Last week was very busy and packed with lots of fun activities.  On Monday I moved Sophie's toys up to her room and gave Travis back full reign of the downstairs!  She just didn't like to play down there very much and now loves to play in her room.  We downsized the toys a bit and put away some that she had outgrown.

I showed her that she could have a tea party with her stuffed animals, I guess she couldn't just pick four to "invite" so she tried to include everyone!  :)

On Monday afternoon we took Sophie to the circus.

She loved watching all the animals!

On Tuesday, we just played.  Here Sophie dressed up in part of her Halloween costume from this past year.

On Thursday we went to the library.  They had a puppet show and Olivia the pig!  Here Sophie is waiting patiently to get close to her.

She wasn't to sure once she had her turn and wanted the library lady, not me, to hold her.

I think she liked her in the end, but still didn't want to get too close!  After we left the library we picked up lunch and had a lunch/play date with my friend Katrina and her children.

On Friday, Travis decided to be weird...

On Saturday we got Sophie a new mattress set to go on my old bed, which my grandpa made.  She's such a big girl!

She likes her new big bed!

On Sunday, we dressed like Spring, we have decided we don't care what the weather is like anymore, it's the middle of April!

 All in all it was a great week, besides the fact of me being sick and now our sweet Sophie isn't feeling well.  I guess this week will be pretty laid back, which we need so we can get well!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

 ⁹ Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders ¹⁰ nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.




What a great scripture, we need to remember what God has brought us from, but remember that that is what we were, not who we are as a new creation in Christ! Praise God for salvation and life anew in Him!

I found Sophie some big hair bows at Wal-mart yesterday for only a dollar a piece!  I think they are so cute and they definitely make her look like a true southern little girl!

Curious George

So Sophie's most favorite thing has to be Curious George.  She loves to watch the movie, which I don't mind because I like the music in it, she loves the PBS show, she loves books about George, she loves her stuffed animal George, which she sleeps with and keeps in tow almost everywhere she goes, and she loves her George pj's, which she asks almost every night to wear.  So far it has been pretty easy to tell her some nights that they need to be washed and she can't wear them.  I found some Curious George material at Wal-mart a couple of weeks ago and I made her a pillow case for her pillow, which is behind her in the picture.  A friend of mine at church found an almost 4 foot decal of George which is in her playroom downstairs, lots of times, she'll go down there and see him and say, "wow!"  

For her birthday this year, she is getting her "big girl bed" and I have my eye on some Curious George sheets for her twin bed.  I'm just glad that she is hooked on something so cute and not too annoying!

Snow Man

On Saturday we built a snowman!  Oh what fun :)

Big Girl!

Sophie has been sleeping in her bed like this now for almost a week.  She has done so well with the transition and I'm amazed at how easy it was to accomplish.  During nap time though she likes to get out of her bed as she is supposed to be falling asleep, but when I go make her get back into bed, she goes to sleep.  She's such a good girl and I can't believe she's growing up so fast.  It's hard to believe she'll be 21 months old on Saturday and only 3 short months until she's 2.  My goodness, where does time go?

We have been so busy and sick lately, so I've neglected our blog a little.  Here are some pictures to catch you up to date...
