This is my new kitchen table -- complete with 8 REAL chairs, not the folding kind we've been plowing through over the past 4 years. I am so excited I can barely contain my giddyness ! Only a mom could be thrilled over a new table! It's going to be just lovely to be able to all fit around the table and not have kids squeezed in the corners on bar stools! The old table will be retired to my craft room where I assure you, I will make VERY good use of it!
I've been just engrossed in Pride & Prejudice over the past week - finally reading the book for the first time (the movie sparked my interest). The language has taken some getting used to, and I admit having to even look up a few words! However, it's been so "delightful" to have a good book to read - and even better is finding a quiet corner away from 6 kids to enjoy it! Actually, all I have to do is start reading it out loud to them, and somehow they just disappear:D... it's as effective as playing big band music -- that drives them out of the room too!~
Wednesday night was New Beginnings for Anne -- I haven't been involved in young women's since I went through it myself. It was weird to be back again -- what's even crazier is that it feels like I was just in young women's myself! Sadly, I realized, when they announced what year these girls were born (ie. 93,94, 97), I am SO not a 'young' chick anymore. She really is growing up faster than I'm ready for her to!

I LOVE the table!! :) I totally understand your giddiness!!!
And how funny, Emma just finished the "easier" version of Pride & Prejudice and I have been wanting to read the real thing! But, I have not made to the library since these little ones have been born!
By the way, your sweet Ashley is absolutely beautiful!
I'm sorry.... I meant Anne!!
LOVE IT!
RaChel, don't worry. I also feel (most of the time) like I was JUST a Young Woman, myself.
Then I realize that I'm THAT much older than the girls (hey, I'm plenty immature! ^_^) ... So, yeah. I totally know JUST how you feel. ^_^
