Extra Pictures

Hello again! I've gotten a few cute pictures of the girls this week and wanted to share them with you.

Abby Kate loves her overalls, so I put Elizabeth in a pair, too. They enjoyed "matching" each other. As Christa and Abby Kate like to say, "they matched overalls."

Sisters having fun together, laughing at whatever goofy thing Mommy is doing to get good smiles.

Abby Kate got a new backpack thanks to a clearance sale at my favorite online children's site - Pottery Barn Kids! She LOVES it, and it is a much better shape to hold her lunchbox and artwork.

The girls have been wanting to hear the story of Jesus dying on the cross a lot lately - like over and over again every time they think about it. Since I feel like it's the most important story they will ever hear, and I want them to know it well, I try to oblige this request whenever possible. I've been gradually going into more detail as I've told it, even if they don't "get" everything. (I've also found that I was not remembering some details 100% accurately and had to correct my story a few times after reading it from Luke.... and being corrected by Cline. At any rate, I came into Christa's room last night after putting Elizabeth to bed. She had drawn a beautiful picture of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Unfortunately, she erased it before I could snap a picture. But today, she decided to draw a picture of herself with Jesus in heaven. It's about the sweetest picture I've ever looked at!

Have a great night!
