Dressed and Ready to Go!

Our friend Geoff was over and we were talking about places where he could move. He has had roommates since high school and he now wants a place of his own. So we decided to go look at some. Everyone went to put their shoes on and I told Chloe to go get her coat and shoes from her room. We waited and waited and finally Chloe appeared. She was wearing her pink coat with fur trim, a pink hat, pink sunglasses, her pink and white purse and her Cinderella dress-up heels! She was dressed and ready for a day out!!! After much debate- I still am having a hard time with this not-matching stuff- she agreed to put tennis shoes on when we went into the buildings and I agreed to let her wear her Cinderella shoes in the car. Although I shouldn't be surprised by Chloe's independence or strong will, I still am amazed at times.

For many months, I have been feeling as if there was something out of whack in my life. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. My relationships- with God, Jeremy, Chloe, family, friends- were great. Yet something was missing. Now that my cheer schedule has slowed down some, I have more time for making dinner and big meals on the weekends. And then it clicked! My Saturday AM Breakfast!!!!! For the longest time, I made HUGE family-style breakfasts every Saturday morning. It was an open invitation to come eat with us. Usually it consisted of our single, male friends but was open to anyone. Now that we are having Saturday AM Breakfast again, I am content. There are few things that I love more than being in the kitchen! There is just something inside me that NEEDS to feed people. So, if you have some free time on Saturdays, come eat with us! Unless you live in NC- then we need to work out some details and have a visit where I can cook for you everyday!!!!
