2 Newbies

We got 2 new things in the Haskell household this past week--both of which excited me beyond words. The 1st item is called the Crib Tent II. I highly recommend it if you have a small child that likes to climb. I decided on the tent because I'm really not ready to let Caroline wander around her room or possibly the upstairs while we all sleep. She really got mad about it at first. It completely surrounds the inside and top of the crib so she isn't able to throw things out, pull things in, stick any of her limbs through the slats, or crawl out. It took about an hour to assemble and attach, but it was WELL worth it!
The 2nd item is for me---a new electric violin!! I have been wanting one for a very long time. Since I have been blessed with the opportunity to play with PCF's worship team, I have found that having an electric violin will come in handy more now than ever. There is a cool story behind it: I began asking God about a month ago for the money to get this. I knew that there was not going to be a way to do it unless He provided for it. One night, God promised me that I would get the money in the mail. I didn't know how or when, but I kept praying it through. Finally, about a week ago, I received a random check in the mail for the exact amount that I needed to purchase the violin. I was thrilled to pieces! It just goes to show that if you have faith and ask, He is faithful to provide. I can't wait until it's my team's turn to play in church again. I'm totally itching to try it out! (Yes, it's a mint green color, and I am totally in love with it!)
