My Snapshots

What have we been up to in the past two months? Take a look and see:

We did Christmas early because...

Christmas Day we flew out to...

a more-packed-than-I'd-ever-seen London...

where we saw our first panto...

...then we experienced tons of snow in Brno...

explored Bratislava...

hunted for Kolodko statues in Budapest...

appreciated the beauty of Vienna...

delighted in our first West End production back in London before...

arriving home just in time for our 4-H camping trip...

and finishing up January at the state Capitol for 4-H Day!

And that wraps up the past two months! I wonder what next month has in store for us...

What have we been up to in the past month? Take a look and see:

This puffball looks like a stuffed animal when he's all dressed up! (Also, note the bandage on Gv's chin - she split it open skating again, but luckily they were able to seal it with glue and she avoided the needle & thread this time!)

She sang "I Could Have Danced All Night" at a music festival and received a rating of superior!

Mmmm, Thanksgiving yumminess...

Time for this year's 4-H presentation. Her topic this year is movie making.

And that wraps up the month! I wonder what next month has in store for us...actually, I know one thing, and it's pretty exciting...

What have we been up to in the past month? Take a look and see:

Sewing project for the month was a trick or treat bag...

The three of us worked together to create this "lovely" haunted house (with a hint to Gv's next musical) at a library event:

Gv created a dog carrier out of a backpack and now this little guy is even more spoiled than before...

Halloween and she turned a yellow dress she already had into Belle:

And that wraps up the month! I wonder what next month has in store for us...

Some movies are meant to be shared—and this one grows on you! Usher in fall with the whole family starting October 17th!

this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

We watch a lot of British tv in our household, so when this pumpkin-spiced family movie came across my desk, I knew we'd all enjoy using it to get us in the fall mood!

Bloom: Unfolding the Beauty of Femininity in Light of the Son, by Stacy Halbach

A beautiful Catholic puberty guidebook for moms and daughters!

Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book, but was not required to provide a positive review.

I've been on the hunt for a good puberty resource for the past couple of years, and while I was recently listening to a Catholic women's podcast, I heard about this title:

My Snapshots

What have we been up to in the past month? Take a look and see:

The Wizard of Oz run continued, keeping us running like maniacs:

Her best friend never fails to bring his support to her:

Amidst all the show craziness, the regular fall flurry of activities started back up, like 4-H and sewing classes at the library:

Finally things slowed down at the end of the month, so we've all been pretty much recuperating from it all--even Knuckles:

And that wraps up the month! I wonder what next month has in store for us...

What have we been up to in the past month? Take a look and see:

We got back into town and Gv jumped right into a show, as Peter Pan in Shrek:

Our year of Disney came to a close (G was over it by this final day!):

Hairy Pawter showed up again at our house:

No sooner did one show end than another began--this time she was a tree (& munchkin & flying monkey) in Wizard of Oz:

And that wraps up the month! I wonder what next month has in store for us...

Review of Light of the World

A beautiful, hand-drawn 2D-animated story of Jesus told through the eyes of his young friend, the Apostle John.

Disclosure: Many thanks to Salvation Poem for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

I realized when this opportunity popped into my inbox that there really hasn't been a full-length animated feature film on the life of Jesus before this year!
