I Made A Dress!!! Oh Yes I Did! I am extremely proud of myself. Laura inspired and encouraged me so I went out and bought a pattern and material and I made an actual dress that fits and has a working zipper and a bodice and everything! It was very fun. I made about 27 mistakes, but that's OK. I feel empowered now.Josiah's birthday is on Friday. On Sunday we are having him dedicated and celebrating his cute little self. I'm excited to see all of our family and friends.
The sad part about that is the Daby's are taking Amber back to Ogdensburg with them after. We are going to miss her an awful lot. It has been a great learning experience for all of us.
One of the things I really appreciate about my father in law is that when you are talking with him he always asks, "what are you learning," or "What is the Lord showing you?" That is a great way to live your life. You can always learn if you are willing to be taught. I thought when we invited Amber to live with us that it was so she could learn some things. She did, but so did I. I want to always have that attitude, what is God showing me? What can I learn from this? Lord help me to be humble and teachable.

Hurray for your dress! It is amazing not only that you did it, but that you found the time to do it! I can't wait to see it.
I started a quilt five years ago that I have yet to finish :). I have never even attempted clothing...making a dress is very impressive. It's great, too, that your father-in-law helps you keep perspective. What a blessing!! Happy Birthday to your little guy.
Happy birthday to Josiah!! :)
I'm impressed about the dress....it takes patience to do something like that and even though I know how to sew, I rarely have the patience for it - way to go on the zipper, my mom hates those LOL :)
