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!

Relaxing and Reading

Little House books are hard to put down.

Getting the Job Done

Thankful for the man our eldest is becoming. 

He has such a servant's heart.

Wide-Open

Sometimes the wide-open sunsets here in the Valley just take my breath away.

Homemade Pizza's a Comin'

Prepared crust for tomorrow's pizza making! 

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!!
