Pride & Prejudice

Opening tomorrow in theatres!!!

View trailers here

Of course, with MIL here, I can't go see it. Even without her here, I couldn't go see it (no babysitter), but the sooner it's in theatres, the sooner I can rent it on PayPerView. :) WhooHoo!!

Thank you for sharing the links to the P & P trailer. It looks pretty good. The music was very nice....I think I will wait for the DVD tho ....

I wonder which style of dress is closer to Jane Austen's vision? The girls look less well off in the new version, don't they?

I don't think the dresses in the 1940 version were accurate at all... the gauzy droopy sleeves... though some of the necklines were okay. I haven't seen the 1958 UK version. The 1980 PBS one made me think of a dressy "Little House on the Prairie" rather than the Regency period... but I guess the Regency period is rather broadly defined.

Of course, a blip of a preview doesn't give me a close enough look, either, to be all too critical. ;o)

Why we allow God to plan our family size.

( Allow? Allow God? Who am I to allow God? ) “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5, 6 Sometimes people ask me what scripture we base our family size on. I think they expect me to quote verses like "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” - Psalm 127:3-5 Or to quote all the "Be fruitful and multiply" verses. Or they expect me to recant how, throughout the Bible, God considers children a blessing to be desired (in the stories of Abraham & Sarah... of Isaac & Rebecca... of Rachel & Leah... of Hannah) But for us it was not only what we found in scripture, but in looking at God'

The Bennets

Taking a cue from Zelie I've decided to rename my kids after the five daughters in one of my favorite literary works "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. Henceforth my five daughters shall be known as Jane, Elizabeth "Lizzy", Mary, Catherine "Kitty", and Lydia. It will be a bit confusing for me at first, as our Elisabeth will not be Elizabeth. ;o) But it will be fun. I've always had a hard time giving my youngest three clever names, and now this will solve the problem. I will change their names in the side bar later.
