Merry Christmas!

Holiday Traditions Festival

Another holiday tradition is the opening of gifts. We do ours a little early since we have a blended family. Jeremy usually spends Christmas with his dad, and Christopher and Anthony will be with their mom. So we opened a couple gifts Thursday night, and the rest were opened Friday morning. We had originally [...]

Mary

I was getting Gabi out of the bathtub tonight, wrapped her in a towel, and then said, “Hey, you look like Mary.” I was referring to Mary, mom to Jesus. Gabi got really excited and said, “Yeah! I’m Mary!” Then she broke out in her rendition of Mary Had a Little Lamb. That wasn’t the [...]

I Love You More

I got this treasure of a book delivered to my front door yesterday afternoon. I immediately opened it, and read it cover to half way through. Why half way? Was it that bad? No, of course not. This was a fantastic children’s book. I read it half way through because that’s how you read this [...]

As you can tell today is Gabi’s 8th birthday, and how appropriate that it is also my 200th post. But first, let me tell you how our Halloween night was.

The Beauty of Autumn & Children

Unfortunately, our trees haven’t changed to the beautiful fall leaves that everyone else’s has, yet. The picture above is our front yard last Autumn. I think it has something to do with the crazy weather we had this past year. Last winter, was much warmer than it usually is. I remember the week before Christmas [...]

Time Travel Tuesday- Halloween Edition

This week we’re traveling back to our most memorable Halloween. Did you dress up and go door to door growing up? What was your favorite costume?
