Purple Sweat Shirts and Working Hard

I have a new favorite picture. I love those blue eyes.

I bought Mandy this purple sweat shirt at a consignment shop for $2.50. She has plenty of clothes (especially warm clothes in her size from Emma's first year), but I could not resist. I think it is my 80's upbringing, but I saw the purple and teal and felt like this sweat shirt needed to belong in my family, on my baby. And it has a hood. My baby and her daddy in their hoods. Ahhh! I love these guys.

What are these 3 up too? I've found that old boxes are often used to protect the farmer's pristine work clothes from the dirty ground. Every little bit helps. I still don't know what they are doing under there. 

Here we go. This is a better look. It is a windrower they are working on. Actually, I think only one is trying to work, the others are trying to get dirty... it is what they do best.

The girls love to be with their dad. I am going to try and bring my camera with me more. I will be the farm-wife version of the pioneer woman and someday chronicle my gourmet kitchen being professionally built. It will be great fun.

On to other things... Yesterday, I was at a meeting all day for MOPS. I am on the steering team as the publicity coordinator. We spent a lot of time brainstorming ideas for our group's meetings next year, starting in September.

It is a fun group of ladies and I feel privileged to be in the group, providing a vital ministry to moms of young children. It is a hard, draining job to be a mom and MOPS (Mothers Of Pre-Schoolers) provides a place, twice a month, where we can all get charged up with informative speakers and time with our friends (without the kids!). The best part is that every mom is taught about Jesus, the greatest strength and comfort we need. 

I recently re-did the site that I coordinate for MOPS. Check it out: Dallas MOPS
