Tea Anyone?

Saturday, I had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful MN blogging mommies. I was honored to be included on the invite list for the 3rd annual Blogger's Tea. The morning was a little challenging, but I was able to meet up with Kristina, and we headed to the famous Mad Hatter's Tea Room.

I know my fellow bloggers have already posted some very creative and funny entries, but this pregnant mama doesn't seem to have it in her; I want to link you to them, but unfortunately I haven't learned how yet (I know it's probably easy, but my brain is on overload getting ready for the new school year).

We had a wonderful time. It was a pleasure to meet such faith filled dedicated mothers and all homeschoolers too. The conversation went all over the place; there is never a dull moment when like minded women get together with no children (ok, there was one beautiful baby boy there, but I'm talking energy laced toddlers). I'm not sure if I will be able to forgive Margaret for not bringing her beautiful Anthony, but I'll try. Fusspot or not, I really wanted to hold the little guy I prayed so hard for- God is so good- always keep hope.

From right to left... Pregnant Me in the teal- yes I got my hair chopped and felt less than dainty
Sarah- With A Hopeful Heart
Jamie- Lord, Make Me A Saint
Josefa- My Farm & Home
Margaret- Minnesota Mom
Tracy- Pinewood Castle
Kristina- Sweet Mercies
May God bless you and your families. Good luck with your new school year.


It just so happened that Gabriella and George decided to have their own tea party- a favorite around here. It's hard to pass up the opportunity to catch them using their imagination and playing together. Aren't they cute?

OH, your kiddos are beautiful!!! I didn't realize you'd just gotten your hair cut, you look really beautiful with that style, it's a keeper!

I'm so glad to have met you and do hope we can meet up some time before the next blogger tea. Didn't it feel like we've all known eachother for years? That's God, our faith connection, an instant connection I think!

God bless you, and your sweet baby!!

Love the photos...even of your kiddos. Cuties! I'm with Jamie, your hairstyle is a keeper. I thought it was very cute on you and suited you well. My daughter even commented when I showed her pics. from Sat. and pointed to you and said 'she's very beautiful'.(She's into that sort of thing these days, for some reason)

Any way, it was a delight meeting you. Hope our paths cross again very soon.

Love the little sweeties having tea at the end of this post!

My apologies about not bringing Tony. God is good, though; I'm sure you'll get a chance to hold him. Also, could you email me your address? Karen Edmisten regrets that she wasn't able to autograph your book, and she would like to send you a signed bookplate.
