~Sarah's Sentiments~

First, a note from my Mommy and baby brother or sister! =) Thank y'all for all of your nice congratulations and nice comments on our baby. I'm nearly 2 months along, due near the end of May. I DON'T THINK I'm carrying twins, it's just that Noah made my tummy stretch to Mexico, so this baby is trying to keep up with his/her big brother. =) Since Noah was 12 days late and weighed 10 lbs and 6.7 oz,(AND I HAD NO PAIN MEDICATION AND NO EPIDURAL!!!) I'm praying that this baby will BE ON TIME, and weigh no more than my Sarah did, 7.4! =D Last week, my girls violin teacher didn't know that I was expecting a baby and soooo sick and invited our girls to a violin festival and ASKED US TO MAKE 70 VIOLIN SHAPED COOKIES TO BRING TO PASS OUT THERE! I didn't want to disappoint her for she knows how much I NORMALLY love to BAKE, so not knowing HOW I would do it now that I'm sooo sick and tired with this pregnancy, I agreed. WHEW! I was soooo sick while I was making those cookies, but the Lord and Kimberly helped me and we got them done, and our teacher was very pleased. When she came to pick us up I told her about our baby and that I was sooo sick while making those cookies, but the Lord helped me get them done. The teacher is very excited about our baby!~Our 70 violin shaped cookies, that we cut out and decorated too. All of the students and teachers at the violin festival seemed to enjoy them. ~Heather~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Now, here is Sarah!~~
~Hi! I want to show you some fun pictures of our violin festival and of some food that I made this week. Mommy took this picture at the violin festival. There were a lot of violinist there! Our teacher is the lady with the white shirt, and that is ME on the front row in the very left corner of this picture!~~This is my sister Kimberly and I at the violin festival!~~This is our violin teacher (Adriana) on the left and Kimberly playing a violin duet in front of everyone. Adriana had asked that all of the kids get into pairs to play this song, but Kimberly didn't know anyone there, (and I can't play that song yet) so our teacher played with her, and they did good. This violin festival was a good experience for my sister and I.~~After the violin festival our teacher walked to the mall with us and bought our supper. We had a fun time with her, she is sweet! (Mommy took this picture!)~
~Mommy let me use the left over cookie dough after she made the 70 violin cookies and I had fun cutting out cookies, baking them, and decorating them, and my brother Noah "helped" me!~
~The finished product! (with a little red icing on my face, that my Mommy thought was so cute, and I DIDN'T LIKE!)~~Since Mommy is sooo sick right now, I decided to make her and we kids a Strawberry smoothie. Mommy told me how, and I made it all by myself. It was fun, and yummy! =) ~
