The Snackster!
Who remembers this?
I love this small appliance! Yes, it is a throwback to the 80s, but such a great help for quick lunches!!!

They Created a Tree
The girls came up with the idea to create an outdoor Christmas tree using our bamboo poles
and their good 'ole Dad was ready to help.
Way to go!
Prepping for projects
One of our favorite things to do in preparation for Christmas is to select and make some handmade gifts. Looking through these books inspire us to be creative and to think intentionally about the person to whom the gift will be given.
It is a really fun process!
Playing with little friends
Such precious times getting to play with little friends.
When I see that R. loves playing with little ones, I rejoice!
Through our years of being a parent to littles, we had the benefit of friends with children just a little older than ours who were ready and willing to play with our kids. Now, I see mine doing the same thing with the youngers in our church and I rejoice.
I praise the Lord for the many examples of Godly families who have gone before us and who continue to come along side us in this adventure of parenting!
My hope is that we can be such an encouragement to others as they are to us!

A Hearty Breakfast
This morning it was around 40 degrees. Which is unusually cold for South Texas. So, in order to get warm from the inside out, we had a hearty breakfast of grits, sausage, and scrambled eggs...and for me a nice cup of joe! We are good to go!!

Cooking for Company
We love having out of town guests! This weekend, my college roommate and three of her young 'uns are making the trek south to see us. Yay!
I am prepping taco salad fix'ins: browning the ground beef and black beans in the crockpot. Also, I have the wonderful bread machine doing the hard work of prepping the dough for pizzas we will create tomorrow!
As I prep, I realize how blessed I am, not only to have the modern conveniences for prepping all of these things at once, but blessed by the fact that we get to share it in fellowship with those who are do dear to us.
Can't wait for the conversations and fun we will have as we sit down together to feast in fellowship!!
Blessed, indeed! ❤
