Inauguration

I am enjoying watching all of the inauguration coverage today. I find it fascinating how this transition occurs. Even though I didn't vote for President Obama, I have an open mind for his presidency and am hopeful for the things he may accomplish.  I think it's great that most of the nation is excited about our new president. However, I echo Sarah's sentiments about how so many are putting their hope and faith in this one man. Read her post; she wrote a nice prayer that I think we should all say for our new president today. Welcome Sarah!

Quick Catch-Up

My computer has been acting up a bit, so I haven't had the patience to try to make an entry. I don't have much time now, but I thought I'd post a few pictures from our holidays. Unfortunately, we weren't feeling so good on Christmas Eve and Day, so I don't have any to share from then.

The Woehlkes on the 26th, minus Joanie who wasn't feeling well.

We were amazed that everyone cooperated for this photo 

at the Schroeder Christmas on the 28th.

That's all I have time for now. It's back to monitoring Lucy who is attempting to go diaper free. 

Wedding Pictures

The snow storm on Friday made for the perfect backdrop for Brian and Jen's Christmas wedding on Saturday.  The bride looked absolutely beautiful and everything went smoothly.  I think this was the best flower girl performance to date (this was the 4th wedding in which we've participated), especially considering they were a bit under the weather still. 

As I'm looking out the window at the snow falling, I'm hoping the bride and groom are enjoying themselves on the beach in the 80 degree weather. They deserve it.

Happy Christmas Eve Eve!

Prayers Please #2

Ella is now sick with the stomach flu. Please pray that she gets better before the wedding on Saturday and that the rest of us stay healthy.

Thanks!

Prayers Please

Sophie was up much of the night with a croupy-type cough and now she's got a fever. Please pray that she gets better before the wedding on Saturday and that the rest of us stay healthy enough to attend.

Thanks!

How did you spend your morning?

As embarrassed I am to admit this, I spent much of my morning prepping the girl's dolls for the wedding this weekend. Ridiculous, isn't it? The flower girl dresses I found came with matching doll dresses, so I thought it would be cute for the girls to take the dolls to the wedding. Unfortunately, it took much longer than I imagined to get them dressed and do their hair. And notice I haven't even spent the time yet to look for all of their shoes. There went an hour of my life that I will never get back.

I've also included some pictures from the Sunday School festivities last night. Overall, the program went well. No major embarrassments or "fights" among the preschoolers this year. That was a plus.

Happy Monday.

Photo from the Past

I haven't had anything worthwhile to write about as of late, so I thought I'd post some of the pictures I've come across in the last few weeks. Enjoy!
