Today is Isaac's birthday. He is turning 5 today. Can you believe it? I can't! :) Well, here's a little post for him-

*Of course, the Happy Birthday song has to be sung*
Happy Birthday to You!
Happy Birthday to You!
Happy Birthday, Dear Isaac!
Happy Birthday to You!

You are such a fun boy. Although sometimes you can be little loud, but that is one of the joys of having you. I am so glad you God gave you to me as a brother. I am sure you will grow up to be one of the world's smartest people, and one of the people who love God as much as he loves his life. I am sure of it. I love you tttthhhhiiiiissssssssssssssssssss much. :)
 Love You, Lil Bro,
  Big Sis Rachel

 I hope you have enjoyed reading the thoughts and happenings of a fourteen-year-old girl from the country. "You can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you!" Philippians 4:13

That was really cute Rachel. ;)

Well, if you had read my WHOLE post you would have read the part where I stated that if I had the opprotutinty to be a mother I would drop everything to do that, I wish with all my heart that you had been in my living room this evening I spent the day with a lady who homeschools her son and her my mum and I were all sitting around talking about the comming years and I said to her that I will homeschool my children and if the Lord blesses me with the chance to stay home full time that will be my path. They both told me though, that they wished that had gone on to a higher education, that it just makes homeschooling eaiser. NOt every family can afford to have a mother to stay home You all are SO blessed to be able to do that, sometimes women have to work to help their husband (It is not always nessasary I'll give you that) I think if you have the chance to stay home and watch your children grow and direct their path the way you want it to be, you should esspecally if you can afford it. I would not want to work my life away while my children were growing without me and it's sad to see people who do that. I'm not trying to push my point of view on you, and I'm so happy that you shared your thought's and I agree with them for the most part. Just read the whole post and see where I put that my passion would be mothering my children when I have the chance ;) HEHEHE I really do think midwives have a most blessed job. I love babies and I'm sure there is nothing like helping one come into this world.
I would love to write with you!!
Again I hope you see what I'm saying about college It's not for everybody, but I could see it helping my own life in the comming years and when or if I become a mother THAT will be the job that God want's me to focus on nothing else.
Love ya girly thankyou for your thoughts.

Saturday, July 26, 2008 - Note from Brielle

Posted by BrielleCostumes

Greetings Miss Rachel,
What a kind birthday post you did...
Happy Birthday Isaac!

I hope you are enjoying a nice summer. We have been pretty busy around here, working outside etc.. I've had a lot of costume orders to do, but today... I thought I would take a break from that, it is nice to have a day off sometimes.

How are you doing?

I hope you have a wonderful day,
Sincerely,
Brielle

Thank you! I love the colors, too. =)

Yes, my bed is neat, but it creaks at night.. =P Oh, well... I probably just have to tighten the screws. :)
Thanks! I'm glad you think I'm funny-- and the bottom drawer still hasn't been fixed yet... :0P

Exactly-- that's the way it is with my sister! She loves to sing, so she often bursts out in song when we're at a resteraunt, or at the park, etc. *sigh...*

Yes, I have checked out your new blog, and I like it very much!

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for stopping by! And thanks for the birthday wishes.

I like my coat too! Tux isn't offended; he says it really is pretty. And tomcats weren't meant to look pretty! :)

My owner told me you got some cats! Tell them hi for me, ok?
