I keep hoping..

I keep hoping that someone is going to take a little time to share something, anything with the rest of us. I log on and... nothing still. I guess febuary has taken us by surprise! Dad's 61st birthday is just around the corner- monday. Followed by Seena's and then Isa's I believe. Aren't birthdays fun? I just read in a magazine- an ad for something though I don't recall what- it read, "Who needs birthdays? Just celebrate the cake." I thought it could be made into a cute card for the right person.
Speaking of cute homeade cards, both Ivy and Isa used their cute maker skills this valentines.
As long as we are speaking of cuteness... both Ekik and Ali have begun crawling and Amaya was so excited about her letters and their sounds that she even showed off for Mark and I. I guess she was performing and it ws more the Boy and Isa showing off. I can't think of a better thing to show off!
The construction of the chicken house is moving right along. Dad says that he learned a lot about building it the last time. I think he would be all ready to build 41/2 too.
I'm also excited for when Jennifer and Michael post about their remoldeling! There has been fixing and painting and buying and planting and lighting and recovering!
Ivy has quite the turtle habitat to share with us and even provided our own live in turtle hider with a few minnows- or do I have guppies? Hider does not eat them...yet, but they do add some excitement to the tank.
Mom and Dad just went to uncle Llyod's funeral and if you haven't talked to them about it yet- you should. Mom is also a very good example of a dedicated missionary. While I am reminded of it we should also really consider stretching a bit to give away those special ensigns as gifts.
Annie looks really cute in her various nursing duds and should share them too.
I am particulary grateful to Alison for sharing with baby girl and to Isa and Jennifer for sharing with her mommy. Also to the Davenports for sending the fun filled package who's contents are being viewed as I exercise the treadmill. I find that if my mind is not thinking about it I don't mind so much the swinging of arms and legs. Also, I can't tell much of a difference- meaning I don't get any more tired- walking with a steep incline. The machine tells me it burns more calories. I also don't get so impatient waiting for the coffee cake to cook cause I use the treadmill as a timer as well.
Well, I will continue to hope and look and visit here.
Love,
Elisabeth
