Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! May God bless you richly as you share in the joy of His Son's birth!

Uncle Jarred visits

My brother, Jarred, came to visit today and brought Mary Kate a great present. Her very own Cinderella chair. She loves sitting in it. She sat and ate her gummies while watching Baby Einstein!

Red-Head Rants

I would just like to take a moment to rant a bit about being a red-head and having a red-headed daughter.

1. People seem to think that it is their "obligatory duty" to comment on MK's red hair everywhere we go. It is just hair people! Now, I don't mind the nice comments but the comments of "Whew! That's about as red as red can be!" we can really do without!

2. Being a red-head does not necessarily mean that we have a temper. LOTS and LOTS of people have tempers who are not red-heads. So, it really doesn't mean anything. Having a temper is part of being a sinner.

3. Just because a little girl has red hair does not mean that she will be mean. I taught kindergarten for four years and I saw plenty of mean kids. Most of them were not red-heads.

4. Being a red-head does not mean that we will fry every time that we go out into the sun. We can get a tan. Now granted, we won't tan like J-Lo, but we can get a nice golden color. It all depends on skin tone, not hair color!

Grass Sledding

I am running out of things to do with Mary Kate outside. She loves to be outside, but you can only blow bubbles for so long. Last week I decided to push her down the hill in my sled. Maybe I was wishing it would snow for real.
