my history in bread making is usually catistrophic.
but these turned out extra yummy!

smother in butter.
satisfaction achieved.

at Minndes house anything goes...

she wears a bikini...

babies ride 4-wheelers...

im just sayin.

we noticed earlier this week that Presley's "broke eye" as she calls it, has relocated the pupil to the top of the iris.  creeped out of course we took her to her pediatric eye doctor.  he concluded that he did not see anything more unusual than before and for us to keep an eye on it and to follow up in 3 months. he also talked with the retina specialist at Duke and she didn't feel like it was necessary to do another ultrasound right now. though they have no idea why the pupil has moved and have never seen this happen before. so my prayer is that God will daily replace our fear with faith.  so thankful for Presleys out going, resilient, confident personality. 

she hates eye drops.  she read the letters on the chart this time instead of the picture chart...kinda bitter sweet in a strange way.

so far she doesn't need glasses, but thoroughly enjoyed trying them on

these girls make my world such a sweeter place

Happy Easter

Presley got her ears pierced! I know.  Doesn't every little girl eventually get this barbaric ritual done at some point?  I had 5 holes in each ear at some point.  But after all this is Presley we are talking about.  Lucas and I decided a long time ago we would let her decide on her own when and if she wanted to get it done.  Mostly because once we witnessed a little girl getting it done in the mall and Lucas almost threw up.  He hated the thought of making Presley cry and hurt for such a ridiculous cause.  But as she got older he actually wanted her to do it. We offered on her 5th birthday to take her and she said "absolutely not" and despite Blakelee, Rosey and Juilette having theirs done a long time ago, still she wouldn't succumb to the peer pressure.  Then suddenly sitting on the couch a few days ago she said "i want my ears pierced"  so Lucas said "pack up and get in the car".  She was brave.  She didn't cry until after the first one, then her lips began to quiver.  Pitiful but worth it a few minutes later.

in other news...
