The Gift

  • For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
  • For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
  • If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

Catching up....

Dear Family and Friends,

Hoping everyone is doing well. We are busy here - trying to get ready for summer. I went through Sophie's summer clothes (I went shopping today and found some great tops at JC Penny's - buy one at regular price and get the second on for $!) I got some really cute gingham shorts for her too! Can't wait to see her in them.

I went to return something at Toys R Us and they wouldn't take it back without a receipt! What kind of customer service is that? They clearly sell the item (I saw about 20 of them on the shelves) and most places will give you at least the sale price of an item if you don't have a receipt, but not this store. It's odd because after my shower, I was able to return things to Babies R Us without receipts and didn't have a problem.... Anyway, one of the items I did have a receipt for - (they gave me credit for the sale price I think.. I saw the same item in the store for $19.99 but they only gave me credit for $14.99!!). I was a bit irritated and decided to just spend the gift card today so I wouldn't have to go back there. I ended up buying Sophie a new bathing suit and matching sun hat. It's too cute! Yellow, two piece with beach theme on it! That hat looks so cute on her!

I think she'll have plenty of summer clothes for this year. If she doesn't grow too much in the next year, she may be able to wear somethings into next summer. I bought most things in 24 months size and right now she can still get into some 12 month clothing - she's tall but still pretty thin, even though she eats like the proverbial horse!

Going out for the day...

Hi Jeannine... I've just now caught up on your last several posts. Thanks for staying faithful. I see you so often at church but so rarely have time to chat... busy Moms!

Love - Kirsten

Be sure to check out Penny's at the end of the season. Natalie got several long sleeved tops with cute animals on them for 1-$2 each. They are great daycare tops, if they get messed up, no big deal.

I bet Sophie looks adorable in the yellow bathing suit!

Natalie is tall and thin too. Her pants slide off her rear all the time.
