He has been touched by the strangers who are lifting him up in prayer. Keep them coming!<br /><br />Alas, all I can do is knit (and not all that well) and did not make the pinafore or headdress. I think I could handle the headdress, but sewing is something I just can&#39;t get the hang of even though my mom is a whiz with a needle and thread. She&#39;s tried to teach me and usually ends up chuckling at my futile attempts to piece anything together or follow the most simple pattern. :)<br /><br />Blessings to all!Kate Wicker @ Momopolyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08275574075771328329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-24767171070903772702010-01-06T12:42:59.288-05:002010-01-06T12:42:59.288-05:00Yes, they are a lovely collection of photos, and I too like having a face to go with the &#39;prodigal&#39; brother I&#39;ve been praying for. Your Hungarian princess looks delightful - did you make her headdress and pinafore? (I am of Hungarian heritage, so that picture really tickled me.) Blessed Epiphany to you and yours, and hope you are all feeling well soon.Kimberleehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14980588863109281657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-7015128221412515932010-01-06T11:40:37.036-05:002010-01-06T11:40:37.036-05:00I love these kinds of posts, Kate, and love having faces to go with names (especially those I&#39;m praying for). :) Your joy is infectious in this post, despite the sick kids.<br /><br />Hope health finds your home soon! :)Sarah Reinhardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05682511477646768745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-18019122593283371742010-01-06T11:04:12.753-05:002010-01-06T11:04:12.753-05:00It&#39;s an Ergo. I could not live without my Ergo. I am babysling/baby carrier rich. I have a Maya wrap, a ring-sling, a Bjorn, an Ultimate Baby Carrier, and a few others (I&#39;ve gotten several for free), but the Ergo is by far my fave. There&#39;s a link to it on Amazon to the right of my blog. It&#39;s more pricey, but it doesn&#39;t hurt my back. You can wear your baby on your hip, back, or in the front. For newborns, there&#39;s a newborn insert. M.E. loved it; I would not have survived those first few months where she needed me to walk and walk and walk (the midnight march - from 8 p.m. to midnight) with her in the Ergo to calm her. I enjoy wearing toddlers on my back.<br /><br />I am not getting paid to say any of these things, I promise. :)<br /><br />Blessings!Kate Wicker @ Momopolyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08275574075771328329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7346978174606514078.post-89600159680861629822010-01-06T10:58:22.683-05:002010-01-06T10:58:22.683-05:00These are all great pictures!

I lost my patience more than once, yelled more than once, about cried in front of them twice, barely drove her to school on time, and come home barely remembering it IS still Christmas.<br /><br />Ironically, yesterday morning I had a pregnancy brain moment and thought it was the Epiphany, so we had our Epiphany breakfast...crown cake, gold colored fruits, etc. THAT was a great morning. Obviously God did that knowing I was more rested yesterday than today....but I feel terrible I lost that Christmas spirit today. Reading the end of your post reminds me to take some time in delighting in the Christmas that DOES exist in their colds, fevers, or 6 year old moments...<br /><br />Love you!<br />Thanks!ViolinMamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01292780088878827339noreply@blogger.com
