I got together with two friends from Bible study this morning. I have really enjoyed my Bible study group. We are all at different places in our lives - some with little kids, some with teenagers, some with adult children and even some with grandkids. But we have a common thread that brings us together each week. We all want to grow in our knowledge of scripture and learn to rely on God more and less on ourselves. I have something in common with almost everyone in the group! How awesome is that??? There are two PA girls - one from Downingtown, who is now the head Herriman girls lax coach and to whom I've given numerous practice plans, drills, evaluation materials, etc. BTW, Downingtown is where I did my student teaching and learned everything I needed to know about lacrosse. The other girl is from West Chester - the town where I went to college! Small world, right? What are the chances of that? It just solidified the fact that I am right where I need to be.
My friend Diana and I went over to our friend Sarah's house to hang out this morning. Sarah is one of my new crafty friends! She's a craft blog stalker like me and now we're Pintrest buddies! Sarah is a wonderful mom and incredible woman. She's raising four, yes four, beautiful little girls all under the age of 6! Wow! I can't even imagine, but she handles it with grace and a sense of calm. I can learn a lot from her for sure. Sarah's two oldest daughters are friends of Kendall's from Bible study so the kids had just as much fun today as the moms!
After we left Sarah's house, I took Kendall to the nail salon to get her nails painted for the big dance tonight. Andy made plans to take her to the Daddy/Daughter Cinderella Ball at our church tonight. We had gotten her a new dress at Target a few weeks back that screamed "princess" just for tonight.
Here she is getting her very first manicure!
She wanted to show them off to anyone who would look at them!
After getting her nails done our day went back to a normal routine - picking up Riley, taking him to karate, etc. Riley's friend Matthew is sleeping over tonight so he doesn't feel left out. Matthew came home with us from karate. After we got settled back at home, it was time to transform Kendall into the princess she believes herself to be. We did her hair curly, got her dressed and mommy even lent her a pearl necklace to wear to the dance. She was beside herself with the results! She came downstairs to show her brother and Matthew who were playing video games and they never took their eyes off the screen but complied with her desire for their approval.
Since I couldn't decide which pictures I liked the best, I included most of them here.
She's the apple of her daddy's eye and she thinks of him as her knight in shining armor. She was thrilled to be going on a date with daddy tonight. I'm so thankful they have this opportunity to do this. I pray he always makes time to take her on dates so she knows how a man should treat her in the future. She was ready well over 30 minutes early and did not want to wait till it was time to go. I'm sure they were one of the first ones there, but that's okay...he made her day and that's all that matters! I can't wait to hear how the rest of the evening turned out!
