Shiver Me Timbers!

Jasmine's pirate flag!


Ahoy, me hearties! Avast there, ye fellow travelers!

Well, it's October, that magical month when Jasmine has her birthday and that mainstay of childhood trickery, Halloween.

This year, Jasmine wanted to dress up like a pirate, and I really thought it would be very cute. Hubby, well, he doesn't seem to mind, either. He secretly enjoys Halloween, but won't admit it. I think for him, it's all about having something interesting to picture. He wants to photograph everything in sight!

Well, we received Jasmine's pirate costume and had to try it on. Wow, she fell into the role quickly and without hesitation. (Her daddy must have some pirate blood in him.) The only thing she said was "Ahoy, me hearties. I'm a pirate princess!" Well, daddy got to work on photographing her in her costume and making up a couple neat pictures. It was great to see her having fun with her costume and pretending. She is so amazing; it makes us so happy to have this little bundle of God's love in our life. Children really are a gift from heaven.

Anyway, here are the pics daddy took and made.

Hubby whipped up this little number using 3 photos! I love how it came out.

I simply love this headband, Mommy!


Avast, ye landlubbers!


Ahoy, daddy!


Pretty pirate!

Blowing bubbles last week.



Bubbles, yay!



Proof that we are loved!

This week was a great time, and what joy it gives us when we see our little treasure smile and prance about. Daddy took her out today to see a movie; I'll post about that on my other blog, A Bavarian Angel, along with some of hubby's pics. He's been using some new software, so here we go again.

In addition, this week, a friend just gave Jasmine some winter clothes from her daughter. It's always great how we can come together like that! I hope I'll be able to pass on some of Jasmine's clothes, too.

Finally, to Art. Thank you for your lovely comments, and for reading my blog. Your comments are a real inspiration and prove that good people are out there. Thank you for visiting my blog, and for the chance we had to meet this summer!

God bless everyone out there with a glorious and happy week ahead. May happiness follow you everywhere!
Ciao!
