Take a look at the shop I am creating on Etsy. It is starting with one item, but it will grow to include all of my work that is for sale, and any thing that Em might want to sell. Fairy Sasha is my icon, isn't she so cute!
If you see any product in my shop that you want to have, let me know and I will pull it for you. Watch as it grows.

Newborn Blog

Hello family! To celebrate my birthday my wonderful husband has given me exactly what I requested: a domain! Yay! You will now find my personal blog at:

www.angiewashington.com

So cool! I am so excited! There are some fun features. You can sign up to receive my posts in your email inbox. You can browse around on the different pages (the tabs under the banner picture link to those different pages). It’s altogether just a ton of fun.

Other fun stuff we are doing to celebrate my second Sweet Sixteen are… A friend, Denise, is taking just me out to lunch today. We will be dining as a family before church something quick and easy. Then on Saturday after the kids go to bed some missionary friends are coming over for Chinese food and card games. That will be a good time.

Hope you are all well.
Love,
Angie

Father's Day Poem

Dad you are the best.
You warm me like a nest.

I love you alot.
We are like a knot.

Because we're tied together.
And I feel much better.

Thank you for loving me.
You're making me feel free.

Happy Father's Day!

First I would like to wish all our father's a happy fathers day. Each of you enhance our family just by being a part of it. Especially the father head, Dad, this post is for you and all that you do.

Dad, I was thinking about you the other day only to more deeply recognize how wonderful you are. You truly are a man of many talents, who isn't afraid to jump in and get his hands dirty to get the job done, who knows what it takes to keep a household in working order and how to keep his family happy.

Some say that the heart of the home is the kitchen, where all gather to gab and feast, I say there is an alternate location for home's heart (at least our home) - the garage. It is the marrow of the house's regeneration, the go-to place for each family member's problems, it is full of surprises but one truth seems constant - "Dad probably has one."

Aside from the garage you are the glue that keeps our family together and the lighthouse for each member to be guided by.

I appreciate your role in my life.

Thank you, Dad. I love you!

Sea Turtles by: Raimy

The Sea Turtle
On Thursday I wrote a little thing about “Sea Turtles”. This is what I wrote:

“The Sea Turtle”
The Sea Turtle is a very good swimmer and they live in Seas. When they lay eggs they can lay about 50-100 eggs at a time. When the baby sea turtles are born they go straight to the sea. But some times they get eaten by birds. When the babies get to the sea they eat jellyfish and swim really well.

And I liked learning it. It was so much fun. And this is how I imagined the Sea Turtles.
