Singing About Her Favorite Bad Guy

FINALLY - caught on video! Olivia singing Captain Hook (is a Cranky Crook)!! The weird/ off-putting sound in the background is Izzy playing with a balloon. Enjoy!!

Generously and Graciously

My Facebook friend recently wrote a blog about how she doesn't write New Year's resolutions. Instead, her family chooses a powerful word to live by for the year. For example: trust, hope, disciple, etc. 

My words? Generously and graciously. Good words for my 2014 goals. 

“In a word, what I’m saying is, Grow up. You’re kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.” (Matthew 5:48 MSG)

Peter Pan

Olivia is more than just a little obsessed with Peter Pan. She sings the songs from the movie all day long. She sleeps with him at night. Now she is even dreaming about him. Brian went in to fix her blankets last night since it was so cold. She woke up slightly, mumbling something about Peter Pan. Today I could not separate her from her stuffed Peter doll! She is so funny. 

Going to sleep tonight. 

Driving Izzy to school today. 

Reunited !

Izzy had a birthday party to attend for a friend from school today. She was so thrilled to see her friends who she's been apart from for a couple weeks now. Of course izzy and Isabella were dressed almost the same. She has missed them all so much.

Freezing Fun

At least I smiled. 

Time Off

Izzy is counting down the days to go back to school. One advantage she has discovered to being off of school is that Mommy pretty much allows her to pick out her own clothing. I usually find her room ransacked with skirts and pants and shirts of every color after she gets dressed. And her outfits are usually a eclectic to say the least. Here is today's selection. 

Teacups Joy

Here's a video from Izzy and Mommy's recent trip to Magic Kingdom.  She is so fun to watch on the teacup ride - pure joy!
