Girl's Night Out

The hubby and kids are down with his folks and I have spent the weekend alone. After getting stuff done on list, I went to the movies with my neighbor friend, she's more friend than neighbor. We saw Penelope which was a delightful film and then we hung out at her home. The best part was sharing a little bit about my beliefs about God and families. I was reinvigorated about spiritual things and feel a little closer to my Heavenly Father, so thanks friend for hanging out with me.

This sweet little rabbit was made for me by dear Aunt Chris when I was a wee baby. I made Isabelle a similar one, I love that handmade has gone generation to generation.
