To live the Liturgy... "Now when these things begin to take place, look up because your redemption is drawing near." Luke 21:28
"Lord Jesus, may I never lose sight of the signs of your presence in my life and the world around me. Free me from dullness of heart, indifference, and every distraction that would keep me from your presence. May I never tire of seeking you in prayerful anticipation of seeing you face to face when you come again in glory."

Christmas Cookies

Deer Widow's weekend was a great time for use girls to get together with our babies and have some fun! Megan opened her home to all
of us so we could decorate Christmas cookies with the kids, and they enjoyed every minute of it, as did us ladies! This is something I definitely want to do every year with them it was just so much fun.

90 Years

Grandma Davis turn's 90, wow I sure hope I make it to 90!! What a beautiful day to celebrate her birthday.
It was such a pleasure to spend time with family and we are so happy that Karen and Jolie came to celebrate with us.
Eva and Jolie just can't get enough of each other it's so cute, poor little dollies if they lived close together they would be best friends!!

9 months

Can you believe my sweet little baby is 9months already? I can't oh how the time goes so fast, I feel like we just brought her home yesterday! Time has gone so much faster with Amelia than with Eva but I"m sure it's because I'm (We) are so much busier! I was hoping to post this on the 29th but...

I have been so sick and I finally when to the walk in clinic last night and they diagnosised me with a nasty case of Strepthroat!! It has been awful, I have had extremely high fevers and head and neck pain.... along with feeling like i'm swollowing razor blades. I am greatful for the antibiotic because it started work quicker than I thought it would... along with a bunch of other things I'm taking to help me feel better!! I anxoius to be up and running again because being laid up with two little's isn't easy and we have a very busy weekend next week, that we are all looking forward too!

Ballerina

Eva absolutly loves her halloween costume!! she can't get enough of it, i had to hide it in our closet so can't see it or she wants to wear it everyday!! so cute!!

mama cook'n dinner

Eva love's to play in her kitchen and Amelia has quickly joined in her fun, she tells me often that she is cooking dinner.

home

there is something about fall that feels like (home) house, so i guess i am starting to feel at home even with out a home. we haven't had many discussions about homes lately because we are just waiting to see what the Lord has in store for us... next spring we will begin to make more serious plans because by then i'm sure we will be feeling to need to have more room to roam.

so steve has a friend how love's pumpkin pie and i decided i would make him one along with one for our family!! so yummy i can't wait to dig in. nothing more homey than baking, oh how i love this season.
