smiles

thought it was about time i posted some new pictures.  what better pics to see than the cute faces of my precious daughters ;).

these next pics are of liberty…she told us she is building a memory machine (taken from her current favorite movie, “meet the robinson’s).  she’s so creative…i love her imagination.

i spent a lot of time in the kitchen this past weekend trying out some new yummy recipes.  chocolate waffles.  pretzels like those you get in the mall.  yum!  and others as well.

these sweet pictures of jonathan and nadia…i love watching daddy & his girls.

my favorite room in our new place so far…the living room:

i made the girls matching skirts recently.  i bought the fabric before we moved and i finally put them together.  i really like the pattern…it’s very easy.  you can find it here.  liberty loves to be a little model these days…i love the pic of her by herself on the day i finished the skirts…hilarious!

that’s about all for now.  jonathan’s training is going ok.  keep praying please!  we tried out a church here…the first week was a little weird, but the second week was better.  still looking to make some friends.  i know that can take a while…but the girls and i are so ready! 

a friend reminded me of eph 6:10, “be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his Might.”  so i thought i’d share it with you.  it’s a reminder i have needed lately.

also…yesterday it was 5 months since my dad passed away.  i cannot figure out how that much time as passed…seriously.  i miss him more every day.  this is a picture of him and the girls back in november 2009.  i love this!  he adored his grandchildren!
