I enjoyed my Sunday - as usual. After having a very nice church/communion service (and great fellowship meal), we rolled in to our gravel drive at about 1:30pm. Cecily said, "Mom, you wanna watch a gurrrrrly movie?" I was like, "Yeah!"
This picture is actually from Saturday, but doesn't Cecily look pretty in her new (garage sale) dress? So... back to veggin' ... I lounged in my usual Sunday spot on the couch (with Harry randomly climbing up on me).

He's a huge skin toucher. He always has his arm in my shirt so he can touch my tummy. He even tries to do this in public, at church, etc. It can sometimes be a little embarrassing - after all, 9 babies have lived in this tummy, and I don't exactly like showing it off - ya know?
So, we left the room messy (I don't clean on Sundays) and the kids rearranging (from "campout") was still in place (out of place). Yes, I even left the stuff from the top of the table, underneath the table.

Then we pulled out one of our favorites!
Pride and Prejudice (A&E, 1996)
Oh, how I adore that movie. The scenery, the music... ahhhhhh! We didn't make it all the way through it (yet), but I enjoyed every minute of it with my precious daughter.
Oh, and speaking of daughters...
This blogger hasn't been able to comment much on the featured blogs (she's just been so pre-occupised), so it might seem like I'm breaking my rule (featuring good commenters first), but God placed it heavily on my heart to share this blog today, and since it's my blog, it's okay to break my rule once in a while right? :) I know you'll agree ... at least this time.
Today we're getting to know, Kristy at Waiting for Happy!
This blog will break and bless your heart. This precious family has two adorable little boys...has said goodbye to two baby boys... and has just welcomed their first (adorable!) daughter, Hope. The Bolte Family is awaiting test results to find out if their daughter has Epidermolysis Bullosa and like any mommy would be, Kristy has been really struggling with this. I want to offer her more prayer support and I just know my chums will be willing to help out. I'm sure we can all understand the anxiety that would be involved with the waiting (I've personally been in a similiar place and many of you likely have too). Let's all visit Kristy's blog and let her know that we'll be praying for her. Oh, and there are a lot of beautiful pictures of the family on her blog, so enjoy your visit. I know your heart will be touched, as mine has many times while reading.
Here are some blogs that Kristy enjoys visiting.

Oh, and you asked for it, you got it! New blog comment system is GONE! I might bring it back when/if they allow you to log in using your blogger account. We'll see... (On second thought, maybe not! Removing disqus was not easy! Thank you Abigail! I panicked for a while and thought I screwed up my whole template)

What a royal pain that was! To remove Disqus that is...ugh! Well, we're back to blogger comments now. Everything is back to simple and easy. Thanks for being patient as I tried Disqus out. I lost 8 days worth of comments (well, didn't technically lose them - they're still on disqus), but they're gone from my blog). Bye bye comments. :(
Great weekend of relaxation is a great way to start the week! Thank you for sharing Kristy's blog with everyone. I have been visiting her blog, and praying for them as well. So HAPPY that others can pray for them now too.
Love Cecily's dress - tell her she is such a lovely young lady!! Inside and out!
I for one am glad that you stopped using Disqus,...but I am sorry that you lost eight days of comments. But don't worry,...all of your chums are still here and they will generously give you lots more comments! ((smile))
Cecily looked so cute in that dress. She is such a sweetheart. I just love her sooooo much! (of course I do,...I'm her grandma! wink)
Well I luv to sit and watch a good movie like Pride and Prejudice,...,which reminds me,...I need to borrow your latest BBC movie series. I love those.
So sorry to hear what your friend Kristy is going through. I will pray for her.
All for now sweet daughter. (Glad you had a good Lord's Day,...we did too).
Love, Mom
Oh, I forgot to comment on the picture of Harrison sucking his thumb and touching your belly....it is priceless!
Nothing better than having a little person who is so attatched to his mommy and who loves her sooo much!
He is adorable.

I love Kristy's website. I have been visiting it since beautiful little Hope was born. I am sure she will appreciate all the support from your bloggers.
Good morning -
Looking forward to meeting Kristy...thanks for the link! Glad you had a great weekend - one of my all time fav movies, too! And just had to say YEAH that the old comment section is back - I love your blog and, as in real life, I love to add my two cents! But I had a hard time with the new system...Oh well, have a great Monday!!
thanks for featuring Kristy! I loved getting to know her a little bit! The picture of your son touching your belly is so adorable! I love visiting your blog! :)
Cecily looks so beautiful in her dress!
I have been reading Kristy's blog off and on for a long time. She is a very courageous, strong woman.
Hello! Just testing for you. :)
Thanks so much for featuring me Lynnette! I am also sorry I am not such a great commenter! :) Typing with one hand now takes me forever, but I am sooooooooo thankful for the blessing in the other hand! :) I am so grateful for the extra prayers!
PS LOVE Cecily's dress!
oh...also, my comment thing should be fixed, thanks for sending that email. It helped me figure out what to do!
I love that you removed disqus. I visit Mckmama's blog and it's so confusing to me and it takes forever to load so I don't even leave comments anymore. That dress looks great on Cecily! And Harrison is so cute and that's so sweet that he always wants skin to skin contact. :) I've been reading the boltefamily's blog and I hope their little girl doesn't have EB. She's such a cutie and I know they are ready to stop worrying. My prayers are with them!
Your family is truly beautiful! I wanted to let you know that I blogged today about a new service that I started for transferring VHS home videos to DVD..thought maybe with all of the beautiful children you have, you may need a service like that?
Cicly is just stunning! You have the most good looking children! I mean seriouly! Wow....
We love Pride also...great movie...I have all of Jane Austin's books on my Kindle! and I will be ording your book for my Kindle soon! Can't wait! ...hugs shi~
