31 equals O...L...D!

I came home to a wonderful hubby making grilled brocette shrimp, grilled asparagus, and fried shrimp for my birthday. What a blessed day!! He's a great cook!!
(the frog pic is Landon's Valentine's Day bag from his class -- he missed the festivities because he was sick, but I thought the bag was adorable!)

Blessings

All I have to say is MELT MY HEART! (these are raw photos, but you get the idea)

God is Good!

NOT ONE MOMENT YOU SPEND IN BIBLE STUDY WILL EVER BE WASTED.

"The Word of God is the textbook. Its application to the hot pavement of your life is the practicum. God wants us to recognize the critical priority of deliberate training in godliness. We won't be successful without it. Not one moment you spend in Bible study will ever be wasted. Help me, Lord. I am weak in my natural self (Rom. 6:19)" ~ Beth Moore

Isn't it great how God speaks to us exactly what we need to hear! I was feeling so inadequate as a Christian then God gave me this word in my study today. It takes practice! And we all know we won't get it right the first time, second, third (or ever be perfect)....but we are getting more godly one step at a time.

Thank you Lord for your forgiveness when I fail you and for loving me as I deliberately train by Your Word to be godly.

Happy New Year and a visit from Big Papa and Big Grammy :)

Happy 2010! Boy am I looking forward to a new year :)

Big Papa and Big Grammy (my dad and step mom) drove to town from California in their new truck and 5th wheel trailer. What a journey! We are so glad they came to visit. We were all spoiled rotten -- dinners, massage, and toys for Landon. It was a great time. We will miss them much! xoxo

Ice Skating

It was such a JOY watching Landon ice skate. He absolutely loved it. His smile was from ear to ear the WHOLE time! Aren't these "walker" things hilarious!? He went round and round and each time he would exit the ice like he was going to take a break -- only he would turn back immediately and get back on! I think his brain didn't want to quit, but his body was tired! (I know daddy was tired :))

At bedtime we were talking about the experience. I was telling him what a great job he did. He said, "I didn't do great" -- I said, "why" -- he said, "because I don't want to hold on to "the thing", daddy's hand, your hand, or anyone's hand...I wanted to do it by myself" SO cute! He wanted to skate all by himself with no help -- maybe next year :)

Merry Christmas!!
