White as Snow

Last Sunday our little Ellie was Baptized.  She was adorable and read her testimony and favorite verse to the congregation.  Unfortunately we didn't think about the fact that she would start out by being nearly fully submerged underwater, so her big piece of paper was over her face the whole time!  It was very cute though.  Her favorite verse:  "For it with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."  Praise God for her courage and her desire to be baptized!  Here are some pictures from her big evening:

You're invited to...

My new blog!  Don't be shy, anybody can visit.  In fact, I'm looking for a few good followers.  Life gets kinda quiet around here in the Wise household during the day when my chickens are out of the coop and I'm looking for some friends to join me on my money-making, money-saving journey!  So if you are interested in my Saturday morning shenanigans (and more!), visit me at Yard Sale Mommy!

Tea Party!

There's no doubt we are blessed with a wonderful (and big) family on both the Wise and Mooneyhan sides. Last month, Aunt Christina and Aunt Melissa hosted an official tea party for the girl cousins on the Wise side. Needless to say, the girls had their bags packed oh, about 5 minutes after they opened the beautiful, hand-made tea party invitation. So, we dropped the girls off for a girly tea party weekend with their Aunts! Read all about it at Aunt Melissa's blog.

A Christmas Tradition

Seems like every time I have a baby girl one of these pretty little numbers shows up on my doorstep (you know, magically, like elf on the shelf style). I'm not complaining. These smocked ornaments are beautiful, and each one of my girls now has one! Charlotte's name is so long you can't see that there are two little bears on either side of her name. Precious! Now the girls really feel like she is a member of the family. And how nice to start thinking about Christmas in September!! Oh no. I totally want to play Christmas music today!! But I'll restrain myself...until the usual November 1st!!
