Beautiful list, Your children's children, congratulations. Summer in a jar what a great idea, and I like your new motto. Have a great week.
Thank you,Rach, hope you have a great week too.

yes!!! love it all. and now i am so craving buttery popcorn, butter running down my arms to my elbow. what movie did you see? i haven't been to the movies in so long. since before moses was born and he is 14 mos. now. i think it may be about time. and that popcorn is definitely calling...
Waaahooo. Love the post. And what a cutie at the top! Love the photos. You are so lucky that soon your summer won't just be confined to a jar. xox
Amy, the new Jane Eyre. I think it's about time you went to the movies, too.
Angelina, I'll show you soon - promise.
Joy, 81 degrees tomorrow. Waaahooo!
Just lovely! And, just properly your new grandchild tops the list--congratulations!
Yay, a new grandchild! Congratulations! Such a cute little button nose!
I love your new motto.
Blessings on your week, Jodi!

i like u. summer in a jar - i will have to try that...it would help me on icy days in february.
and yay for babies!
and yay for heat waves in april!
Can I have that as my motto too?
love to you... your strength and grace has helped me so so much.
A baby:) Such joy! And, I REALLY want to see Jane Eyre.
you saw the new jane eyre? was it good?
and of course i love the quote, and your list, topped by joy's joy, and you.
and your prayer on my blog made me cry. thank you. He is faithful.
Jodi, visiting your place this morning made my spirits soar. Love the alliteration, matinee and summer in a jam jar. Love, love, love the ultra sound pic! Blessings!
That is a lovely quote..quite beautiful and apt
Thank you for a lovely thought to start the week!
I'm attempting to catch up..the kind thought of you sending me chocolate cheered me up no end you know...that was lovely of you..only the struggles to climb into my clothes that have become increasingly tight of late (ho hum embarrassed cough) have prevented me from emailing you. I think I overdid the sweet treats this winter and now I pay....serves me right ..lol
Was Jane Eyre good? Hmm...still deciding. I love the book Jane Eyre, and the BBC version with Ruth Wilson. This Jane Eyre--visually stunning, yet stark. I felt as if I was eating a sandwich that had two pieces of bread but someone forgot the filling. The BBC version might still be my favorite.
Grandchildren! What a blessing.
Love your page of pretty pictures...and alliteration.
Congratulations!!! What a blessing!!!
I love your seashore and your summer jar!
Congrats on baby Lake!!! :)
And I like that you bottled up summer in a jar. I want to bottle up spring... summer is coming all too fast here.
I really want to see the new Jane Eyre but I'm afraid I'll be a little disappointed. Have you seen the Jane Eyre with Charlotte Gainsborough?
What is in your jar? I love that! :) What a gorgeous beach photo. So peaceful!
Jennifer, got the idea here last year. I love doing it; it helps me get through the stone gray of winter: http://www.designspongeonline.com/2009/08/made-with-love-found-terrariums.html
Thanks about the beach photo. I took that when I was in NZ.
Emily, thanks about baby Lake! Yes, I have seen the version with Charlotte Gainsborough, and I liked it. I still love the two disk, BBC version with Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens. I own that and watch it at least once a year. I love it because it tells as much of the book as possible.
I love the thought of giving thanks for children's children...and when I read it I thought it was "in faith" for the future, but now I read comments from more familiar blogger friends and I see it is an "in the flesh" faith made real grandchild!! And I also love summer in a jar...
Blessings!
Congratulations on a new grandbaby! :o) I love terrariums - I am slowly gathering supplies to make one myself. :o) I like the new motto! Thanks for sharing - this was a great list...
I love the post! Congradulations on your upcoming grand child. I love your blog so much. I am thinking of making my own sometime soon. I really want to. I looks like lots of fun! Love, Mary Drennen
It's my new motto too! I would write more, but I'm busy burning. HUGS!!!
Congrats on the new little one. I love those first photos. Makes it all seem real.
So glad you included a bit of alliteration. I've been trying to explain the difference between rhyming and alliteration to two of my children. Still working on it.
Go on. Unscrew the cap of that jar and let a little leak out.
CONGRATULATIONS on the new grandbaby!!
Jodi...congratulations on your grandbaby, it seems the Lord has us walking the same path.
In His grace
hurray! Congrats on the new addition! :)
i also read about these three rules for happiness in a BEAUTIFUL and profound little book by henry drummond called "the greatest thing in the world." if you haven't read it, i highly recommend it!
