From A to Z

I so enjoy watching our oldest child and youngest child interact with eachother.  They REALLY enjoy being together! It brings me such joy to see especially since I was very worried when we found out we were pregnant with Zaria that the bigger boys would be like, "Oh man, another baby".... or feel weird that they were older and there was gonna be a little baby again.  There has never been one time that that sentiment was expressed in our home. On the contrary, just the other day Adam said to me, "Mom I wish I could freeze time and have Zaria stay little just like she is now..."  The funny thing is, in my journal just the day before I wrote that same sentence, in fact the title of my journal entry was "Freezing Time".

On the other hand it has also been so exciting to watch our oldest son grow from boy to young man.  He is so helpful to me and such a neat kid.  He is such an outdoorsman and I love listening to him talk about hunting or fishing or bbgun shooting. 

I believe it is truly important to savor each and every moment that you have with your family because no matter how much you wish you could, you cannot "Freeze Time".

Luke 2:15-20 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. (KJV)

MERRY

CHRISTMAS!

Wall Art

When I got home from work Sunday, I was pretty tired and my little girls had a wonderful gift for me to put a smile on my face...

It a beautiful collage of all different pictures, some Christmas, some animals, some family. It is so cute all taped and glued together that I just had to hang it on the wall.

Christmas Break

Here we are on a nice long Christmas break! The kids get 2 full weeks this year.  We went to the cabin for a night to enjoy some sledding and snowboarding up north (where they actually have a little snow).  It was also nice to have a change of scenery; we haven't been up there in quite a while!

Don't worry, use as many wipes as you want Z-dog they're cheap - right???
