I've been very busy this week trying to get things made for the craft show I'm doing. I've been making thing like: beaded necklaces, beaded book marks, earrings, bracelets, beaded ponytail holders. I am also making cards. I really hope we get a good turnout at this show. We are trying to raise money to get Alisa to Italy for her study abroad program. It's quite expensive and So far I'm not too optimistic about being able to raise enough money. We are trying to come up with different fund raising ideas.

The kids have a long weekend, but my girls have been home all week because they have been sick with a cold and allergy problems. They are going a little stir crazy being stuck in the house all week. Especially Emma, she loves to spend time outdoors. I gave in a couple of times and let her spend a few minutes out playing with the dog. We all haven't been feeling too well, that is everyone but Alex. For some reason he as not been affected by everyone else's cold. I think we are on the mind. At least I sure hope so.

This year is passing so fast and I can't help but to look back and think about how blessed we have been. And that our Father in Heaven knows each one of us individually, and answers our prays in a way that will help us the most. It may not not be the answer we want at the time, but in the long run He knows what's best for us.
