I took this photo in the beginning of October and just came across it tonight while organizing a back log of photos. I just love the way the light plays across the grass and the shed.            ]]> http://jessica.ipearson.net/2011/12/08/weathered-shed/feed/ 0 http://jessica.ipearson.net/2011/09/01/i-wasnt-born-with-it/ http://jessica.ipearson.net/2011/09/01/i-wasnt-born-with-it/#comments Thu, 01 Sep 2011 05:15:07 +0000 Jessica http://jessica.ipearson.net/?p=727 The first 4 years my hubby and I were married we were in college full-time and it led to bad housekeeping habits.

Most of my years in church have been as a taker. There were seasons of giving back but we are currently in our most consistent [...]]]> http://jessica.ipearson.net/2011/08/31/to-give/feed/ 0 http://jessica.ipearson.net/2011/08/16/have-you-seen-the-show/ http://jessica.ipearson.net/2011/08/16/have-you-seen-the-show/#comments Wed, 17 Aug 2011 03:53:22 +0000 Jessica http://jessica.ipearson.net/?p=707 …Hillbilly Handfishin’ on Animal Planet? You haven’t? Here’s the idea. Go down into a muddy river at night (without a boat) and stick your hands, fingers, feet and toes into holes as bait for catching catfish. If that sounds gross, disgusting and somewhat dangerous, you will probably enjoy watching this version instead.]]> http://jessica.ipearson.net/2011/08/16/have-you-seen-the-show/feed/ 0 http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/12/06/getting-in-touch-with-reality/ http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/12/06/getting-in-touch-with-reality/#comments Mon, 06 Dec 2010 22:40:40 +0000 Jessica http://jessica.ipearson.net/?p=696 On Saturday night while Terry & my father-in-law put up some sheetrock in our dining room I apparently went a little crazy. I went into the basement to look at my yarn stash and decided to start a sweater for my youngest niece for Christmas out of Dream in Color Classy. While I was looking at [...]]]> http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/12/06/getting-in-touch-with-reality/feed/ 2 http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/10/06/a-whole-lot-of-beets/ http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/10/06/a-whole-lot-of-beets/#comments Thu, 07 Oct 2010 03:01:21 +0000 Jessica http://jessica.ipearson.net/?p=681 Beets aren’t a real popular vegetable but my husband & daughter (you know, the one that eats solid food) absolutely love them. We planted them in our garden last year and again this year. Last week was beet week. On Thursday I ran out to the garden during naptime and picked enough beets to fill [...]]]> http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/10/06/a-whole-lot-of-beets/feed/ 0 http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/09/27/my-first-day/ http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/09/27/my-first-day/#comments Tue, 28 Sep 2010 04:07:31 +0000 Jessica http://jessica.ipearson.net/?p=672 Today was my first day on my own at my new job. I know it seems pretty early to be going to work after having a baby just 2 weeks ago but it was time. I have 2 bosses and so far the older one is proving to be a little more demanding than the [...]]]> http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/09/27/my-first-day/feed/ 2 http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/09/23/elsies-birth-story/ http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/09/23/elsies-birth-story/#comments Thu, 23 Sep 2010 07:03:35 +0000 Jessica http://jessica.ipearson.net/?p=645 Our sweet second daughter is 10 days old today. Here is her story. On September 4th I was 36 weeks and we made a trip to the hospital at 1:30am because I was have contractions 2-3 minutes apart. I had progressed from 1cm dilated (at my dr. appt. the day before) to 3cm but my [...]]]> http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/09/23/elsies-birth-story/feed/ 3 http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/08/16/growing-girls/ http://jessica.ipearson.net/2010/08/16/growing-girls/#comments Mon, 16 Aug 2010 18:07:01 +0000 Jessica http://jessica.ipearson.net/?p=606 We have had a very busy summer since my last post. In June: Abigail gave her daddy a very memorable book. Chilled at the pool. Drove a golf cart. In July: Abigail was bitten mercilessly by mosquitoes while watching fireworks. Went to a wedding. Slept in a tent & dressed up like a little lamb.

Then, I found this great site called shutterfly.com where I uploaded my photos and created this great book for Abigail. I filled it with pictures of her aunts, uncles, cousins & grandparents.
