The Tooth Fairy Cometh

Jamie wiggled out his tooth this morning so the tooth fairy will be paying us a visit. The one next to it is very loose and will probably be out within a week. He's also got 2 more loose teeth on the bottom. The tooth fairy's going to need to take out a loan at this rate!

Wall Cabinets!!!!!

My mom came to visit so we took advantage of the extra pair of hands to install my wall cabinets.







My scrapping & stamping room is coming together, slowly but surely. Now, I just need the countertops for the base cabinets and I think I'm finished!!!

First Day of First Grade

OK, so I know that I haven't posted anything in a very long time.
I still have plans to post happenings from July and August but knew that I HAD to share photos from Jamie's first day of First Grade.

Jamie's first grade teacher is Mrs. Wilson and there are several friends from preschool, kindergarten, soccer and t-ball in his class (unlike the bad dream I had a few weeks ago where Jamie didn't get the teacher we requested and didn't know any of his classmates). Jamie was SO excited for the first day of school. He got a haircut last night and, after his bath, carefully picked out his clothes. He picked out two shirts and asked me which one was the most handsomest...SO CUTE!!!!
He woke up at 4 am, ready to go, and was so excited to ride on the bus again this year.
I think this is going to be a great first grade year!!

REALLY????

So, the stupidity of people, especially those who do stupid things in the name of Christianity, continues to baffle me. The most recent issue? Stuart Shepard, director of digital media at Focus on the Family Action (not to be confused with Focus on the Family lest they lose their tax exempt status), has produced a video on their website urging people to pray for “rain of biblical proportions” on August 28^th during Barack Obama’s nomination speech at Invesco Field. REALLY???? Is that what Jesus would do???? Not only that, but after some of FOTF’s own people complained, they pulled the video stating that it was meant as a joke. REALLY????? Does this organization not realize how many people blindly follow every word that comes from their compound as gospel??? Or how many people follow FOTF’s word and directives over even the Gospel itself??? I, personally, do not believe that the video was put on their website as a joke. Would they really spend that much time and money to be funny? No, I think they made a stupid mistake and got caught and instead of owning up to their stupidity, they made up a lie. Where is the responsibility and accountability for an organization that has such influence?
