It’s been a long week for Sarah. With Daniel heading to Bible college, Rachel and Joshua off at Union University, and David visiting a friend in California, the house has felt pretty empty. Of course, it wasn’t all suffering for poor Sarah.
We managed to – get pedicures, shop for dresses, go out to dinner, order Thai take-out, work through a weekend of Passport2Purity materials, and watch lots of movies.
Makeover with Ally
Beautiful new dress for Sarah!
Beautiful ‘old dress’
Dinner out with my girl
Delicious food
Saturday evening David comes home, and Sarah will no longer be an only child. Whew. The pressure to be the only one doing the dishes, watering and weeding, doing chores and kitty responsibilities, is too much for one girl. Not to mention having to entertain her mom and dad and keep up a constant stream of conversation. Poor thing.
And tonight I realized I have been way missing a HUGE opportunity to exploit, I mean use, Sarah’s skills. This girl can cook (or at least prep) meals. She and David both took Cooking for a Crowd at co-op. Why haven’t I been taking advantage of these talented kids??
Chopping onions
We’re roasting veggies!
Come on home, David, we’ve missed you!

It was very inspiring, watching Sarah weep delicately into the onions.
Inspiring? PAINFUL!
Sarah, you’re new dress is pretty and you’ve turned into a gorgeous young woman right before our bloggy eyes.
