A couple of things....

This is more of a bullet list kind of day.... I don't have much time, but a lot on my mind....
  • This week has been a tough one for me emotionally. But it went by quickly and I'm excited for that
  • I'm super happy to be planning our next "Disney Vacation" for next year. I get to make reservations today hopefully. I've lovingly started to think of it at Kipp Family Vacation 2.0 since there are officially two kiddos this time around (last time Max was still on the inside)
  • Tonight is another Youth Group Lock In. I'm tired just thinking about it. Good thing I also forgot about it all week until this morning while I was in the shower. A good excuse to take a nap this afternoon.
  • I <3 Knitting. It makes me so happy to understand something new.
  • We have the happiest little kid in the world. He just loves to laugh lately, especially at himself.
  • Crochet projects=this previously mentioned scarf/wrap out of Cascade Wool. Yum!
  • Reading The Magician's Nephew by CS Lewis (it's the first of The Chronicles of Narnia) and this line struck me (Aslan speaking) "This is what happens to those who pluck and eat fruits at the wrong time and in the wrong way. The fruit is good, but they loathe it everafter." Ahhhh so true.
  • Remember this Birdie? I made a couple of them last year. Glad I kept one, Max loves to play with him....

Oh my I love going to Orlando! We went over the Christmas for the second time. We did disney and universal studios. I actually liked universal better. But, it is for older kids. Don't forget to book a meal at the castle!

Wow, you're hosting a youth group lock in. That must be tiring. The teens might not tell you now because I didn't tell our youth group leaders, but those lock ins and church dances in high school were some of my most fond memories. One leader in particular I am always grateful for because he was forever pushing me to try to be less shy with the boys. It sounds crazy now, but this was a real issue at the time. Also wanted to say thank you for becoming a follower of my extremely crafty blog.
