New President

Well, where were you and what were you doing on the day the first black president took office? I was at the church watching kids for MOPS, then at the dentist, then at ladies' in ministry leadership meeting! It was a busy day for me. I missed most of the festivities. I hope that, at least, this president can bring hope and pride to America...but, I'm not drinking the kool-aid yet. People are crazy in love with Obama. We'll see how it goes. I do think it is neat that he is African American, so I can be proud of that for us.
I have book club tonight and never finished my book! That is one of the first times for me. I've been too busy I guess. Look at the fun crafts we've made.

Kelby drew this dragon, then I turned it in to a file that could be cut on my new cutter! Isn't it so cute! She was very impressed. I was so blessed the other night when she was saying her prayers, and said "Thank you for Mommy's crafting skills." How sweet! She also did a horse, but I haven't perfected the cut file yet.

These hearts are something I made that I think I will post to sell on etsy.com. I'm just having a blast with the crafts! I wish I had more time to mess around with it all.

On Monday I took the girls to Bellingham so they could go to Build A Bear. They each used some of their Christmas gift money on buying and building a dog. Kelby got a Jack Russell named Angel, Tegan got a black lab and named her Lulu, and Anika got a Husky named Huskidy.

I already can't remember what else we did this weekend. I know we watched the playoff games. It was cool to see the Cardinals make it to the Superbowl. On Saturday Mike ran a 10 K race and came in 22nd out of 164 people. That's sure more than I can say for me! At least we are enjoying the sun again. It isn't warm, but it is bright and blue.
