Hmmmm, well, we have touched on "the talk" lately. I think it is definitely time to do the Passport to Purity soon with him. Also with Jordan. Even though she knows a bit more about the talk, she needs some of the issues defined more. I'm excited about Focus of the Family's "Passport to Purity". More on that later...
So, I answer Josh very honestly. Lately they have been talking about purity, and how they are impressed that the Jonas Brothers wear purity rings. As a mother, I'm so thrilled when they pick up on these things and when they are passionate about what is right in the eyes of God.
On a separate note: This weekend we were Space Saving! We went through a lot of clothes that were sentimental...such as baby things that I kept for Jordan and Josh to someday used for their children. The most sentimental ones. If you haven't tried these bags, I highly recommend them! I bought mine at a grocery store called Aldi's. I'm sure they could be found online.
Before shrinking some baby clothes:
After shrinking! (isn't my little model so handsome! lol)
After shrinking several items, I decided to finally story my wedding dress. Jordan was so excited about my dress and said she wanted to wear it when she is married. Of course, she had to try it on. It was so sweet seeing her dress up with my wedding dress. Then she found the veil, and what is left of my bouquet. On the back was my something borrowed. David's Aunt actually gave this to me, and wants me to keep it for Jordan to carry when she is married.
The Hankerchief was my something borrow...but ended up being given to me. It belonged to David's Grandmother. His Aunt carried in a Bible when she was married in the 70's. Then in the 90's it was given to me to carry. Now it will go to Jordan when she is married. =)

I don't know how I ever fit into this dress! ha!!

I love those Space Savers bags... I didn't even think to use them for the mass amounts of baby clothes that we've stored... great idea.... my mom uses the Space Savors when she travels to and from her homes:) It really saves on space and my Dad was able to get his favorite pillow and comforter as well was clothes back home one time:)
Totally correct about purity and "the talk"! I really think it's important for parents to be comfrotable discussing thos eissues with their kids. And hopefullly by making it an open conversation our kids will return to us with more questions... keepiong it a dialogue:)
Miss you guys!!!
Those shrinking bags are SO cool! I've never seen those before, but we could definitely use some more space around here. :) And Jordan looks gorgeous in your dress! How special!
And I am SUPER interested in this Passport to Purity thing you mentioned...you're gonna blog about it more, right? ;)
Hi Andrea,
The bags are totally awesome! And yes, I am going to blog more about Passport to Purity. =) I'll blog a little more about it, and in the near future do more of a review type blog to let everyone know how it goes.
Blessings, jenn
Space saver bags look wonderful! :-)
Glad you are talking to your kids about it.. I think to many times parents dont... and thats when they discover it on their own.
Have you seen the duggars method to dating? I LOVE IT!!!! and we plan to do the same. :-)
So those bags actually work...Really good to know as I start to think of my spring cleaning. Jordan looks beautiful in your dress.
Jenn,
Awesome! I remember those purity talks with first, our daughter, then our son.
Blessings to you as you speak wisdom and truth to them.

Kalle, Thanks for the compliment for Jordan. She felt like a princess in it!
