This Very Weekend…

I ate some amazing Chocolate Caramel Cookies

…and played with a pretty little baby doll…

and drank a peach smoothie…

and shared some with a little puddin’ head…

and read some more scary stuff…

and marveled at the love of fine literature around here…

and studied a ladybug…

and tried to get organized at last and once and for all…

so that we can gladly do it all again…

next week.

Lifelong Service

“All of us now are serving and will continue to serve as lifelong missionaries. We are missionaries every day in our families, in our schools, in our places of employment, and in our communities. Regardless of our age, experience, or station in life, we are all missionaries.”

This moment~

A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week.

A simple, special, extraordinary moment.

A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for us.

Happy Weekend everyone!

Writing To the Boy…

Here are the latest pictures of my cute boy in Lithuania. He is with some very dear friends that he has come to know and love–Inga and Arnoldas. Don’t they look so kind and sweet and doesn’t he look so happy?

It just dawned on me this morning that we won’t be getting many more of these pictures from him. In fact, since we write to him on Sunday nights–he will only get two more letters from us, and we will only get two more letters from him…

before he COMES HOME on the 10th of June!! Whatever shall we do with all this cute missionary stationary? Please, don’t anybody say–“Save it to write to the bald kid after HE leaves,” because I’m not quite ready to go there yet. Baby steps for this wussy mom, my friends…baby steps.

The countdown is on…

😀

Can You Name That Doll?

I triple-dog dare you.

Name as many as you can. The person who guesses the most dolly names right…

will win a prize…

something good.

Ain’t saying what…just yet…but…

you’ll like it.

We’ll keep taking guesses until they are all named–or until Monday, May 31–whichever comes first.

I’ll let you know who the winner is– Tuesday June 1st at 10 am.

Do you know the names of any of them? Hint: Four out of five of them are from the 1960’s….
