My sister sent this email my way this morning....isn't it cute? 

You guessed it. . . HMD!!!

Every year I have sat in church and listened to the Mothers Day message. This year, as I listened, it took on a whole new meaning. You really never understand the mind of a mother until you are one yourself. The pastor was talking about how there are plenty of good mothers but not near enough Godly mothers. He told us that no matter what, you should never give up on your children and never ever stop praying for them. I pray for my little Caleb every day. I am already praying that he will have a heart that longs to serve God and that he will strive to always do the right thing. This is my first mothers day, and many of yours as well. I wish you all a great day and a great year full of sleep (yeah right!) and joy (that one is easier to achieve) and many days filled with smiles and kisses from your children :)

KK!!!

Happy Birthday KK!!! Can you believe how old you are getting??? Haha :) Thought I would remind you of the old days and the new ones. We love you very much and wish we could eat some of your cake!

Your first babies (My sister Donna on the right and me on the left,June 1986)

All of your babies

When, I say, Whennnn???

In my search for a cool sewing machine picture, I came across this picture. How cute is this? Growing up, we had this actual little snoopy snow cone maker. When the ice is crushed in the little hole, you dig it out with the shovel. Of course it took forever to make one snow cone, but we still loved it and my mom let us make them :) Oh, just a great childhood memory that I wanted to share!
When, that is, will I ever ever ever actually pull out my sewing machine??? At this point I feel like all is hopeless. I would really like to make a cute baby onesie or an apron, but I need my sewing machine and that is in Virginia and I am in Texas, and who even knows if it works??? Oh, the dilemmas of my life. . . so cruel, right? haha. On a more serious note, please pray for Stephen Curtis Chapman and his family today, they will greatly need it. I only have 47 hours until Seth will be here and I am just about to pop. What a great weekend this will be :) And by the way, does anyone know the significance of a "softie." You can see one here. I mean obviously they are cute, but what is the rage with them? What do you do with them besides give them to little kids for birthday presents? If anyone knows, please do tell. Okay, I am signing off as a confused and sewing machine hopeless Kathlyn. Later Tators ;)
