Jesse Tree

I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately. Been working on Christmas gifts and just doing things with Maddie. We started our Jesse Tree the end of last month and Maddie is still liking it. There are times I have to remind her to sit still and then she will listen.

She loves hanging up the new picture everyday! I posted about this last year, and here's the link if anyone is interested. I hope you are all doing well and getting things in line for Christmas. But remember... it's not about the gifts... well it is but it is about the one and only true Gift! The Gift that God gave us! His Son!!

Busy at home

 

Haven’t really posted much lately.  I have been busy in our home, just trying to put the family first instead of putting the computer first! 

Maddie has been having a great time making new things and just having fun playing and coloring… with momma!

Here’s a few pictures of what we have been doing lately.

Making some crust for some yummy Peanut Butter pie. This time with Graham crackers for the crust, she had a blast bashing them!  (cell pics.. not the best)

Making butter…  she had a blast shaking it…

and screaming as she was shaking it..

and we went to the Wildlife Expo they had several weeks ago.. she had a blast!

 

and something I want to print up and have for us to do together!  ABC Printable Scripture Cards

  We have been having a blast, and I am actually enjoying not being on the computer as much!  The guilt of not responding to everything on FB, posting everyday, reading blogs everyday is slowly going away as well.  Those that have families understand.. there are seasons for everything and right now my season is just relaxing.. not worrying so much about stuff and being a slave to my computer and blogs! 

Hope you have all been doing well!!

You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
(Deuteronomy 11:19 ESV)

There’s nothing like family and friends

This weekend was a pretty busy one.  We went to my mom’s Birthday dinner in Enid and had a great time.  They were celebrating mom’s birthday and one of her friends birthday’s together.  The food was alright but the company was great.  It was nice to get together with the family.  My Aunt came down from Kansas for the night too!  Maddie had a great time visiting with her uncle, great aunt and great grandparents and of course the grammies and friends! 
Unfortunately the food made my mom, aunt and hubby sick during the night.  Shane didn’t get to come to church with us and right before leaving a friend of mine invited us to come and eat lunch, after church, with her family!  We had a blast!  Maddie loves being around all those kids and enjoys playing with the other Maddy.  The have such a good time together when they aren’t fighting like sisters! lol  My friend Kathy has 2 brothers and a sister and each of them have 2 kids so that makes for a lot of noisy fun!  Maddie just loves her ‘Uncle’ Mike and playing with him too. 

Nothing like a great day at church and then some wonderful ‘family’ time!  Thanks so much to the family that has adopted us as one of their own!!

“The love of a family is life's greatest blessing”

“The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense.” Proverbs 27:9

“Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:9–12

 

When we consider the blessings of God—the gifts that add beauty and joy to our lives, that enable us to keep going through stretches of boredom and even suffering – friendship is very near the top."
