These photos are one of the reasons I’ve wanted to get a DSLR camera. I enjoy taking videos, but for me, there is something so intriguing about a still photo. A good quality still photo. Okay, okay, even a bad photo holds a special “something” that a video doesn’t. I haven’t had much time to play …
Last week, while my in-laws were here, we enjoyed a few family game nights. Games are a fun way to spend time with your loved ones. It’s also a great opportunity to teach good sportsmanship and how to get along with others. During a game of Phase 10 (which I’m terrible at, by the way), …
My in-laws came all the way from Ohio to see us this last week. Today, they had to go home. I was able to block out the the packing and the loading of the vehicle. I sat on my bed with my fingers in my ears and my eyes squeezed shut. Okay, not really, but …
I put together this collage of some of our family’s big moments from this last year. It really made me sad to see how much the kids have changed in just one year…and the years are not slowing down any! It’s yet another reminder to slow down and enjoy life. Most of the events pictured …
This year was a very special Christmas. Terry and I were able to get each of our children a gift they were not expecting. And I love surprising my children! Here are some snapshots of our special memories. I realize this post will mostly be of interest to our family, so if you’re not related, …
Since 2009, my family and I have carried on a little Christmas Eve tradition. We go to our local Waffle House for supper! It was the only place open to eat that first year we did it, and we liked it so much that we continued it in the years since (unless we have company). …
We’ve all heard it a hundred times – some even more than a hundred. “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…” Well, those of us in the south have dreamed that dream for many years only to be heartbroken on Christmas morning. Some of us even gave up the dream a long time ago. But, for …
May the Christmas spirit remain in your heart each and everyday; and the peace that passeth all understanding fill your mind in the coming year. Thank you for reading here this year. I look forward to seeing what God will do in 2013! With love,
My daughter, Leslie, enjoys pretending. She likes playing with Barbie dolls and Littlest Pet Shop animals. She likes building with blocks, too. Last Friday, my seven year old girl built some Bible stories with our blocks. The first one she made was the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and the golden tower. Babylon is …
My family and I enjoyed a visit with my mom, brother and sister and their families in my hometown this Thanksgiving. I was also able to see my uncles and aunts and a few cousins over the week. I must admit that, while I did count my blessings on Thanksgiving Day, I didn’t feel as …
