Toddler Table

Ansley currently has a fascination with little tables and chairs. While on our way to GA recently, we stopped at the Georgia Welcome Center, and she went right in, sat down at this little Cabbage Patch Kids table and started coloring like she owned the place! I LOVE this picture...to me she actually looks like a CPK!

Jon and I are wanting to get her a little table where she can sit to color and do crafts. I would love suggestions on where to find table/chair sets that aren't too pricey. Does anyone know where I might find one that is a dark espresso color so it would match her nursery?

2027

Fast forward to the year 2027...I don't know if my mind (or heart) can go there just yet. It's a year I've thought about momentarily but honestly over the next 17 years it will be a year I will plan towards, set goals in light of, save money for, and I am sure sometimes wish would come sooner or later (depending on how the day is going)! It's the year our baby girl, Ansley, will graduate from high school and begin to live life on her own. What will the world be like in 2027? I've always heard the saying that from the time a child is born, each day following their birth is a day that you are preparing them and moving them one step closer to the day they will leave you. It's a bittersweet truth. I don't know what made me all of a sudden think to calculate what year my daughter will graduate but it makes each day between now and May 2027 seem a little more important. Although the days sometimes pass slowly, I am already realizing that the years pass by all too quickly. Lord, help me cherish life, train well, love deeply, forgive much and pray without ceasing.
