I'm telling you, I love this glasses! I feel so totally awesome! And the hair doesn't at all help! Such a pretty princess!

Hair!

Anna came today to do a trial run on my hair for my party!!! I am so loving the way it turned out! Thank you, Anna!

teazing is so totally fun!

Annnnnd the final result!!!

As I mentioned recently, I bought new sunglasses and have enjoyed them thoroughly! They work very well and are so much fun for pictures! Here Rob and I enjoy them while we were "multitasking" in taking up some stuff after Katy's birthday...

could NOT keep from laughing! very bad when you're trying to take pictures that are "serious"!

Birthday!!!

My birthday was the 18th...and I turned 18! I had a lovely day and after church Mummy and I sewed mobcaps with some of the patterns I was given and I was able to wear my chatelaine with my outfit (more pix on that later)

At the park 2 and ending highlights

I bought new sunglasses as my old pair was stepped upon and broke. Just had to try them out at the park!

Jack and Granny. It is so hard to make Granny smile!

Our last meal...

Looking back, I realize that we always know exactly what will happen when we go down South, and we look forward to it. We truly shop 'til we drop, go to the park, golf course, and church, have picnics galore, eat at all times of the day, drive the golf cart and walk everywhere. It's a time to play games, tell the most appalling secrets(TM) and laugh. We love it. God is good.

At the park in TN

We always make time for the park!

Daddy being silly with Rob's tennies!

Kate havin' fun!

Tennessee

My step-grandfather on my father's side was having heart trouble recently, so this weekend we drove down to Tennessee to visit. Here are some pictures Jaclyn and I took on the Springfield Greenway.

Prayer for the Chapman Family

On Wednesday, Maria Chapman, the youngest of the Chapman children, was hit by a car in the driveway of her home. She died later that evening. We need to offer up prayer for her family as they grieve, but most of all for her elder brother who accidently hit her. We will not understand the grief he must be going through, but we can weep with him. Pray that he will draw nearer to God in this time of sorrow.

Washing of the feet

My sweet sister Katy came in one evening after I had been discussing with Mum how now I understand why in Bible times they just washed the feet at the end of the day because that was all they needed....

She walked in with a pot of water and a towel. She said, "Amber, can I wash your feet?" How could I refuse such a sweet request?! So I came, and she washed me feet ever so lovingly. As she did so I asked her "did Mummy put you up to this?"
"No, I thought of it on my own."
"Oh!" "did you do anyone else's?
"Yes, I did Mummy's and Daddy's and Jaclyn and Bobby's and yours."
"Thank you so much for thinking of it!" I love you, Katy."
"I love you, too."

As I got up from the beautiful ceremony, she asked me "now will you wash mine?"

Outfit of the day

outfit of the day was a hat in the process of trimming (see previous post), a gown that is due tomorrow (yay last day of class!!!) a shift and that's all over an "everyday" outfit!!!
