Amy’s Jan/Feb World

Hi’ya all. Been busy, busy around here. I think often of how women my age(47) are becoming grandmothers. I wonder how it must feel for them. Most women I know just love it. I see how women were mostly designed to have children earlier on. At my age, I have a 26 yr old, 11yr old, and an 8 yr old. Some days are plain, mentally exhausting. It is getting easier as the girls are more ready to wheel and deal with me to get what they want, rather than the good old fashioned fits they used to throw. I do realize I have their teenage years yet…

Hands down, I’d never trade it for anything.

Anyways, I believe I’ve moved on from grief finally. There were some weeks there I didn’t think I’d ever feel like me again. Now it is replaced with a longing to see my friends again. I feel alot more level headed. Thanks to those who prayed for me and to those who commented. I love this community of people.

Crochet blanket I finished from Vanna White pattern book. Who knew Vanna was so artsy. I always imagined her in fancy clothes eating bon bons all day

Our quizzers were able to quiz after an emotional week of wondering is it cancelled, is it not? Abigail did so good!

While I left unfinished cookie dough in the kitchen, my husband made huge cookies with it!

Scrunchies I made. Use any hair tie and crochet right onto them.

We have snow! Here’s their cool snow fort their dad made them

This is what they do during recess. No other kids are as lucky!

Putting in a new bathroom in our basement. Here’s the before pic. I’ll share our progress as we go along

Ever seen something so funny? First of all, neither of us have such big lips! And secondly, my ability to climb a tree left me with my 20’s

We are studying 5th grade science. We just learned the planets along with the moon and the sun. It amazes me how God set the Earth in just the right position. He is so broadly awesome in His creations.

Our pastor preached a wonderful teaching sermon a couple weeks ago. He talked about how when mom or dad pass on, how their adult children fight over the sugar bowl or something that was special of their dad’s. My pastor talked about what if we had a such a powerful relationship with God that our children wanted that when we are gone. That our legacy would be our walks with God. Makes you think, doesn’t it?
