She's Seven Already???

Where is the time going? So hard to believe my first precious baby is already turning seven.  We celebrated with cupcakes at school and bowling with the bestie, Ava.  Mak was sick on her actual birthday so we had to postpone her family party, but we were able to celebrate with everyone a week later.  Good thing the cake froze well and was delicious after thawing!

She designed her own cake.  She knew exactly what she wanted and described it in detail.  Thankfully, Mrs. Leslie (who makes our cakes) was able to do exactly what she asked!

One excited little girl...



We Must Be Crazy....

Three days after Christmas we bought a children's clothing boutique!  Polka Tots has always been a store I have adored, and in the past I have daydreamed about buying it lol.  When a friend mentioned it being for sale in conversation one day, I jokingly told Wayne we should buy it.  Imagine my shock, when he said he thought we really should look into it.  As it turns out, the owner of the store actually works in the same building with me at MSU, and we didn't even know each other! After talking with her many times, and praying over the decision for several weeks, we made an offer and praise God, she accepted! 

We are so VERY excited to start this new adventure in our lives.  This has always been a dream of mine, and I am so thankful that my hubby recognized it was the perfect opportunity for me to give it a shot.  We know God has a plan for this business, and we just pray that he blesses it and allows us to use it for His glory.

Please be in prayer for our family as we adjust.  Being a Mom to 3 kids while working a full-time job at MSU, attending grad classes, and running a business full-time is not an easy undertaking, and I know there will be struggles.  Please pray for understanding from our kids as we settle in to a new routine, clarity in making decisions about our future, and growth for the business.  We can't wait to see what God is going to do!
