Today I was sitting on the couch in the living room, IM-ing with my sister-in-law and folding Willow's clean clothes. Willow comes out of the bedroom, and when seeing she can't climb up on the couch to cuddle with me (because it is all taken up with little girls clothes), she asks if she can help fold!
"Of course!" says me.
So, she takes each item at a time, and folds it into a bunch. Then she hands it to me and asks, "Can you help me please?" And I re-fold it for her, hand it back, and she places it on the allotted pile.
After doing this a few times, she started to get all frustrated that she couldn't fold them like mommy. So I looked down at her and said, "Don't worry about how good you fold them sweetie, just have fun!" And she did! She helped me fold almost all of them before she had to go down for quiet time.
She is growing into such a wonderful little girl!
In other Willow news...
Her Grammy Tammy bought her a Disney Princess Canopy swimming pool, and 3 purple/pinkish crates that I stacked into book shelves. So, good-bye make-shift book shelves made from boxes! Also, we haven't set up her pool yet because a~the southern Cali sun will cause it to pop, and so will the concrete that surrounds our house. So David and I are trying to come up with how we're going to do this. In the meantime, Willow's incorporated the pool into her toys. It is still in it's box, and so she serves tea on it, cooks dinner on it, and all kinds of stuff! lol... I am seriously contemplating getting her a big empty box as a Christmas present!
Also, David's birthday is on September 28th :) We're having a little shindig on Saturday the 26th. His friend Matt's flying down for it from Rocklin. We just plan to barbecue and hang out, eat cake, and all that good stuff. So, if you are close to us, mark the date to send a card or something!
Until next time... Peace and love be with you all.

Our Life in San Diego
Well, as many know David, Willow, and I all moved down to San Diego January 16, 2009. A month later we found our own apartment after living with in-laws in between. Now we have been in our own little one-bedroom apartment in an area called "City Heights" for six months now :)
Before we moved down here I was very conservative in my Christian walk (not a bad thing), I whole-heartedly planned to Homeschool my daughter, and I was majorly missing going to church. Within the last month, I have become a bit more free with my beliefs, not so conservative anymore. I am still following God and living my life as a servant to our most High King, Jesus. However, I am in a state of seeking Him outside of the Bible. I know the Bible is completely true, and is the infallible word of God, but I also believe that there is truth about God to be found in the world as well, through living life.
David and I decided last week to put Willow in Pre-school. She needs the social interaction, to learn more than she already knows (which thankfully is a lot!), and to have organized time. At home she just plays all day, with the occasional movie thrown in. Her playing is broken up by three square meals, and an hour of quiet time in the afternoon. Also, David and I can use 4 hours a day of quiet time at home, so he can have un-interrupted work time, and so I can have some Willow free time to get the house in order and keep it clean.
Also, we are not going to church right now. We (Willow and I) have been once since January. We are not looking for a church right now either. It is not conducive to our schedules.
Last weekend, David and I got some free time without Willow! It was so nice! Willow went to the Grandparents house for Friday evening, while David and I went to Horton Plaza and did dinner and a movie. We got home around 11:00pm and received a phone call from my distressed mother-in-law. Willow was supposed to spend the night with them, but it wasn't working out (shocker! lol). So Willow came home. However, Sunday afternoon the Grandparents did come and pick her up again. They took her out to lunch and to Balboa Park.
We hope to move back up to Placerville within 6 months time :) I really hope to be up there for my birthday! If David continues making the money he is right now online, then Placerville is very much possible!
I miss all my friends up there, and I send you all of my love! I miss my womens Bible study friends too, and please pray for us for whatever God puts on your heart to pray for! You all are in my prayers :)

Until next time,
