Someone Wants to Say...

...Hiiiiiiiiiiiii!

It has been tooooooooooo stinkin' long since I've posted on Snapshot Chronicles...my deepest apologies. Jacki, I'm sure you recognize the hat Clara's wearing. We LOVE it. So perfect for these cold winter days. Lauren, I've been reading from the Bible storybook to Clara every morning. Sometimes we get through just one page, and others times we complete a whole story. She seems fascinated by it, and I pray that she'll truly fall in love with God's Word.

As I began typing this post, it dawned on me how much I want Clara to have the same kind of friends with which I've been blessed. I'm not sure you gals fully fathom how much I appreciate each of you in my life. Having recently been together again, I was reminded how different we all are and yet how united in Christ. Each of you has a unique gift that's enriched my life...and I'm forever grateful.

Relaxing Sunday

Life has been so busy lately. A "good" busy, but sometimes it can be a bad thing...if that makes sense. Today was so refreshing. It's been pouring rain all day here (Darla, I think you got all the snow in MN) so after aa fantastic message at church, we came home and Jimmy built a fire while I finished up decorating the tree. We have been HOME all day. PURE BLISS. Have a wonderful week.

House for Sale!

Hi girls! Just wanted to give you an update on the Duncan family situation.  Our house is officially for sale.  We still don't know where we're going because Kirk is still job searching.  We are praying for God's perfect will to be done in both the work and home situation.  Please pray with us! 

Check out the link for the virtual tour of our home. I can honestly say it's never been this clean and organized since we moved in!

PERFECT Timing!

We woke up to this view in Eden Prairie...

Needless to say, SO glad you gals decided to visit LAST weekend. Thanks again for coming. It meant so much to me.

Our Little Mouse

Are we having fun yet?

Funny video of the girls

We kept R and S last night while their rents were away. They are SO FUN right now (as I'm sure all you moms and aunties know of little kiddos)! They love to sing and one of their favorite songs is B-I-N-G-O. Since they love Wyatt, we changed the letters and they wanted to sing it all night long. Just thought I would share it. I think it's pretty funny! (excuse my voice- yikes)

See you all in just a FEW DAYS!!

Barbie Box Halloween

Brad and I didn't have a Halloween party to go to this weekend, but I had one at work on Friday for the residents and staff. Let me just say it was incredible to see our youngest resident, 62, to our oldest resident, 98, dress up. We had so much fun laughing and becoming our characters. Last year I was George Washington and the residents loved it, so I felt like I needed to do something even crazier this year. After weeks of research and debating over Rosie the Riveter, Ameilia Earhart, and Scarlett from Gone with the Wind, I settled with my best childhood friend, Barbie.


I bought a wardrobe box at U-haul, spray painted it pink, cut the front out and replaced it with a clear shower curtain, put wrapping paper on the inside, and Brad made the logo and mattel logo.(Brad was a lifesaver here he did so much to help me - despite all of the school work he needed to do) We put handles on the side so I could walk with it and attached a piece of pink yarn to the front, through the handle and inside so I could hold the front door closed as I walked. Or course I decked out in as much pink as possible and put on blue eye shadow and hoop earrings. The residents loved it just as much as me! Unfortunately, I couldn't talk Brad into being Ken. He had too much going on.

The top 3 winning residents at work were: 3. The Devil Wears Prada costume. One resident carried a Prada handbag and wore a long red silk coat over black. 2. A Bag Lady with a robe, shower cap, and slippers. and the #1 was a sweet sweet sweet lady in her late 80's who dressed up like a Waffle House cook. It was out of this world!

See you all in a week!
