McMaster and Storm

McMaster and Storm is a delightful "petite department store" in Ohio. Oh, how I wish I could visit the store in person! I ordered a few items from the owners, Kara, one of the owners, for Christmas gifts last year. It was all handled through email and a phone call and it was the most wonderful shopping experience! When the package arrived, I had to take pictures of the inside because everything was wrapped so beautifully. And since a road trip to Ohio is not in my future, I can shop on their new website that launched today, and now you can shop there too!

And, a photo of our almost four year old wearing a necklace she made last week. I found the kit at Michaels on an end cap. It was a great quick project for her.


And, Stella perusing our December Daily album, a couple of friends came over and we put these together for next Christmas. Now if only I can finish Stella's stocking to hang up with the others.

And, more style filing has been happening around here.

Life in Waco...

The semester is wrapping up at Baylor, and for our family that means we have to begin our series of goodbyes. One of the many blessings about living in a college town is all the amazing undergrad, grad and Phd students that come to our church. We love having college students in our home (though we are not always the best at doing it consistently) and once they graduate and move on it is, though difficult, a joy for us to watch them follow their dreams. We have several dear friends leaving us this summer. Today marks the first round; the two RUF interns at Baylor, Joel and Heidi, are leaving. Their internship is finishing up and we will truly miss them. They have blessed our family in so many ways. We have watched them serve the college students and the church. On top of that they have brought us many delicious meals, good conversation, and some excellent memories. We will miss you guys!
