Ephemera

Hi everyone! Today I thought I would promote Ginny Owens' new EP. Ginny is someone who not only writes and sings beautiful music but is genuine, caring, loving, vulnerable and lives her life for Christ. She is a selfless friend - always wanting to know how she can help others... how others can come before herself. She has a new EP coming out and while I haven't yet heard it, I know we will all be blessed by it. I encourge you to go to her website and check out her story, the background of this new project and to pre-order it today! I promise that even just reading her story, you will be blessed. She is an eloquent writer and you will be drawn into her story and into her heart. Here is a little snippette for you - then you can click to read the rest and sign up to receive updates as they are posted!

Ephemera: What is it? Who does it? How’d It Get Here? It seems that, over the past several years, I’ve spent my time doing everything but making records. Although I’ve been aching to get back into the studio, I’ve known that it wasn’t time—until now. Many of you know that this past March, I temporarily moved back to Jackson, Ms to partner with my Mom in her journey through intensive cancer treatment. The treatment is nearing its end and has proven to be successful. Both of these things are, as you can imagine, incredible blessings.

WOW! It's been a while....

HI everyone! I am so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. After being in and out of the hospital for gallbladder surgery and then some complications, I took some time to be with my family and to focus on getting healthy again. Aas much as I love my doctor, I don't care to see him for a very long time! Every time I go in he sends me to the hospital. I am hoping that this visit on Monday for bloodwork is the final visit. So, lots to catch up on!!!!

Where to begin..... Amanda has rolled over from her back to her tummy! She is very strong and wants so badly to play and run with Abi. She watches everything Abi does very intently. And Abi of course is like a little Mommy! She askes for "baby" every morning and gets so excited when she hears her!! She runs in laughing, sayng "Baby!" and then tries to see if she can pick her up through the pack 'n play. Then when I bring Amanda out, Abi hs already decidd where Amanda should go firsts - the swing, chair or jumper. Then she taks to her, laughs with her and is ready to help feed her. The other day she even pulled out a bowl and her doll spoon and pretended to fix smething for Amanda to eat. Then she "fed" her!!!! Too cute. She is very protective and we have recently discovered that she really loves all babies! One of our neighbors had a baby girl a few weeks ago and Abi loves to talk to her too. It is really precious to watch.

Abi also got on the floor the other day during Amanda's tummy time and was showing her how to roll over. "See Manda - like this!" she would say over and over. Then she would say, "Good girl, Manda. Like this..." Then after Abi rolled a few times she said, "YAY!!!!!!" Then she proceeded to dance and laugh at herself in front of the glass doors of the entertainment center. She does like to admire herself!!! Who wouldn't want to admire that cute face! She is a trip!
Abi also likes to share her toys with Amanda. She even let her drive her new car! One of our neighbors handed this down and it is hard to keep Abi out of it!
Abi is reading Dora's "It Sharing Day!" - her favorite! Thanks Uncle Jim and Aunt Missy!
Amanda sure does LOVE her tummy time!
Well, I am going to call it a night. Thank you again for your patience! I will be back soon!
