We’re having a good holy week but I need to get my dresses finished!

I finished my quarter grades, but I’ve been busy trying to clean and organize a bit, work on Easter dresses, plan Easter dinner, and finish my photography website. Check it out! If you live in the Raleigh area and are interested in a half-hour shoot next week, drop me an email.
I still need to post about my February books. Yikes. Maybe I’ll do that later today when I don’t have Lexi on my lap.

Student Body President Eve Carson was murdered in what seems to be a random act of violence off campus, in Chapel Hill.
I’ve been thinking all afternoon about what to write, but all I can say is that I am praying for her family as well as students, faculty, staff, and those in campus ministry in this difficult time.

This have been a crazy week. I got sick Monday. Short stomach thing. No fun. Among other busy-ness, my grades are due Friday.
Amanda made TPWC Sherried Tomato Soup for community group. To die for!

Today and last Friday, I had the opportunity to take pictures of adorable newborns. They are sharing my favorite photos of the week spot. :) (It usually goes Fri-Thurs, but I make the rules, I can bend them!)

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis Re-reading these this year is going to be very pleasurable. 10/10
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott The first half is stronger than the second, but for a 19th century novel, this is among the very best. Every one, male and female, should read it at least once. 10/10
In the Bible: Exodus

I just thought through all the things I must do tomorrow, and I am exhausted. And that doesn’t include the things ought to do. For example, several good local consignment sales are held tomorrow, and even though Kate needs spring play clothes, there is no way I can make it to any of them.
I am weary of the pace of life, I want to stop. Listen, read, drink a cup of tea, sing more with my girls. But there is no end in sight. I have small glimpses of rest, moments of peace and enjoyment, but they are fleeting.
My busyness is the busyness of this age, but it makes me wonder about my old world ancestors. Did they have time to rest or did they feel oppressed by the tasks of everyday? Did they find contentment amidst their busyness? Might I find rest in mine?

I am somewhat of a car seat safety nazi (see here) and the brand of convertible car seat we use is Britax because they pioneer the very safest features that eventually become industry standards. This comes at a cost: they are not the cheapest seats and like many manufacturers, they dictate pricing policies to their vendors. From now until March 1st or 2nd is the week Britax seats go on sale everywhere from BabyAge to Amazon to HipMonkey, which donates all profits to the Kyle David Miller foundation. So if you are in the market for a car seat, now might be the time.

This article in the Atlantic is alarming, and likely very prophetic.
