Matilda Jane Party!!

Did you know I'm hosting one? Yes I sure am!!  What is Matilda Jane -- it's a cutie patootie little clothing line that's mostly sold via trunk shows set up in your home!  Well, we are such a mobile family... my "trunk show" is all virtual.  You can shop at their website - but I will warn you ahead of time.  Brace yourself for sticker shock.  This isn't the bargain basement of shopping... think more along the lines of Easter dress and special fun?  The clothes are designed and sewn with a lot of whimsy and unusual matchy kind of style. I love it! 
So what's special about THIS trunk show?  My trunk keeper Heather has offered to donate 10% of her profits to research for Tuberous Sclerosis!  How fun?  So I up'ed the anti.  I will be sewing a brand new dress to be donated for every dress purchased.  I'm going to be donating to DressAGirlAroundtheWorld.com - a Christian organization dedicating to providing a brand new dress to needy children all around the world.


Who's excited?
You can shop at www.MatildaJaneClothing.com   Click "shop the collection"  The newest collection that was JUST released is called Seredipity ( on the left hand column).  You can place items on your "wishlist" and then send your wishlist to my email address Kristi.Elston@gmail.com and I'll call you to finish up your order!!  Try and send these in today.  We are closing out the party tomorrow.  I will also re-order next weekend for anybody who stumbles upon this late or needs to wait.
Please - this isn't time to "buy in" because you feel guilty and want to help. This is purely fun and for those of you that would chose to shop here anyway - then there is a little extre incentive for you guys!  OK!!

Merry Christmas to all! Praise Him for coming as a precious, needy, dependant baby... worthy of a throne but thankful for a manger! We are so blessed by His promises.  We may 'feel' defeated by some of life's circumstances... but the only truth lies in victory:  Jesus.   

I do promise to get back to this blog... and post about "normal" life -- but as most of you know, the last 6 months have been more than challenging and I'm just trying to catch my breath and get a stride going here! And I promise to send out REAL Christmas cards next year!!! :) I plan to go update Caleb's Caringbridge site as well. If you don't know what I'm talking about... sorry I didn't keep you in the loop. Visit Caringbridge.com and look up Caleb Elston!!!

To our Dear Neighbor Ms Nora aka - stand in Grandma

WE WILL MISS YOU!!

Ode to Daddy - Happy Father's Day to our very own Incredible!

You take me cool places

 you clean up my messes
 You do silly things - as dumb as they sound
 and even let me just hang around
 You make me laugh and dance all crazy
and carry me when I'm feeling lazy!
 
You teach me how to do things right... but best of all you hold me tight.
 We love you Daddy!!! 

Reese is 2!!

 
Ok Ok - lay off of her.  She just turned 2, what did you expect?  With that finger, she's at least half way there!  Oh and the thumb - she's 3/4s of the way there to having 2 fingers up :)
We had a bash!  Fun was had by all. 
 Daddy and Captain Dargish got to do all the dirty work!  Papa and Mozzie gifted a trampoline... for better or worse...
Lily decided to hang around and wait until...

 it was time to JUMP JUMP JUMP
then came the REAL party.  Cupcakes!!!

The Dargish clan, Ms. Nora, Ms. Ellyce  and the Southam's were all there!

Yes, of course Lily got a cupcake too!

Notice the icing was all but gone before she started in on the cake part?

Of course there were presents!  Where Grandma and Poppy, Papa and Mozzie and Ms. Nora are involed...... there are always presents!!!

Look!  I actually caught a Southam kid on camera :)

"Did I get it right that time Mommy?"  No dear... thank goodness you're not 5 yet.


Happy 2nd Birthday Reesie Cup!
