Winter Concert

Ava and her kindergarten class sang two songs today in their winter concert. They were great!

Putting Up the Tree

In our hearts this year and our family next year. "And whatever you ask for in prayer, having faith and [really] believing, you will receive." Matthew 21:22

A Child is Waiting

Her name is ChunJu

We will call her Noelle.
"Did I not tell you and promise you that if you would believe and rely on Me, you would see the glory of God?" John 11:40

Santa Gymnast

While my littliest one sleeps, my big girl is bouncing around the house--this includes cartwheels and splits and flips over the couch.

Christmas Card Photo Session

I'm not revealing the shot I chose for the cards--you'll have to wait to get that in the mail--but here are a few takes (and mistakes :O):

After a 150 shots, they were ready to carry me off the beach.

The Count Down Begins. . .

Someone is ready for Christmas:)

Thanksgiving

My daughters shared from their thankful box.

Here, Ava is saying she is thankful for her teeth, but you can tell it cost her. What she really wants, and keeps talking about, is for her teeth to fall out like her big sis's. Maddie's latest fell out a few days ago and I had one little spitfire on my hands. She wants an exact date for when her first tooth will fall out. My best questimate: May 7th (she'll be 5 1/2 then).

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I am so blessed, and I thank you Lord, for my family, my health and the abundance you have placed in my life. I am covered in Your favor and everyday is another opportunity for me to watch You move in my life in miraculous ways. It is humbling but also carries with it a zing of excitement--I can't wait to see what You're going to do next! I love You, Lord, King of my heart.
