Busy Busy Busy

I can't believe the year is almost over.....geez where is time going?

We didn't put up a tree this year, really didn't even put up any decorations. This is about as good as it gets.

Hopefully, this time next year we will be in our new home. Yes, we are looking to buy a little bit bigger, sometime in the Spring. The hardest part is deciding where....just trying to keep the kids in the same school.

Am I the only one that's feeling a little bah'humbug? Maybe if we had some snow or something...just lots of rain and gray skies.

Should Christians celebrate Christmas??

I went out to lunch with a friend of mine today, who is Jewish. I just love to sit and listen to her tell me about her faith.

Well, while I was eating my salsa n chips, she asked me " So, tell me, why do you celebrate Christmas?" I was like, umm ok, well, uh, for many reasons, one being we've always celebrated it and two, it represents Jesus's birthday. So as we continued our lunch "my wheels were spinning". We talked for a bit more then we had to depart.

So, once I got back home, I started reading some things on the internet and WOW! Why do we celebrate Christmas?? I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

I'm still looking in my Bible for scripture on Christmas or even the celebration of Jesus's birthday. I just know if HE wanted us to keep this holy, he would instruct us to do this. Afterall, certainly HE would share with His 12 disciples..right?

Funny, how watching the History channel this evening, there was a segment on Paganism.....hmmm my "wheels are still spinning on this" Please please share with me your thoughts.

Happy THANKSgiving ya'll.

A morning with Jacob/Video

Most people like to sleep in on the weekends...especially on a Saturday morning--- not our son Jacob. At 6:45(AM-that is) he's waking me up asking if I can take him and his friend to a skate park. What the heck?!? So, as the good mother I am (ha!) We head out.....to Allen.

She'll be coming around the mountain when she comes

YEE HAW~~~

Is anyone still out here???????


The blogging world seems as though it has s l o w e d down. Why is that..maybe cause life seems like it is speeding up..hm?

We're all trying to recover around here----we've all been sick, EXCEPT for me. What can I say? The kids have NEVER missed school like they have this year. In fact, Josh is out for at least another week. He has mono. I never knew mono could effect one like it has him. WOW!

So, not much to post here. Just want to see if my blogger account was still active and to give a shout out to all of you!

I will leave you with some pictures....Josh's "friend" is one of the Dallas Maverick Ball Girl's. And by the way, this job appears to be some HARD work.

Our first Homecoming

With high school comes all the dances too. We've explained to Josh that high school will probably been one of the biggest parts of his life....it's where sooooo many memories will be made. Tonight is the homecoming dance.....he asked a childhood friend and she of course said yes. So, with excitement, they went and had a blast!

Another year added to her life.

Happy Birthday Rebecca~~~

I continue to hold on to the hope, the hope that one day we will be reunited.


Love,

Your BIRTHmom,
