New Year's Day

"Hitherto has the Lord helped us."

We had a nice morning of prayer, Bible reading, fellowship, and yummy brunch at the Hartleys. Our family enjoys this tradition!

Singing an acapella Psalm together may have been the highlight for me.

December days

Making turkey brine.

Our belated Thanksgiving dinner.

It totally counts as a date when your husband takes you to a doctor's appointment, right? 😆
Especially when he wears his special hat that used to be his dad's. 😂

Just a random snapshot before church began this morning. These three on my left, my husband on my right, our Pastor speaking God's word in front of me, and church family surrounding me. ❤

Caroline, finishing up her phonics test, "I think I'll give myself an A++. I'm being really nice to myself today."
Me, "It doesn't quite work that way." 🙄
But, she did get a 94 which certainly isn't terrible!

Sidenote - I think she looks so much more like me when she has her hair clipped back like this.

Luke was delighted when the doctor asked him to hop around on one foot at his five year old check up this afternoon. Both the kids regularly see the midwife who delivered them for their check ups, and I love how she is almost as sentimental as me about how fast they are growing up. ❤

Sitting in church with this girl involves a LOT of whispering in my ear. 🙄
As long as it is related to what is coming from the pulpit I'm mostly fine with it. Hey, she's paying attention!
. "Mom, he talked about Shadrrach, Meshach and Abednago!" "Mom, I'm going to draw him a picture of them!" "Mom, I really like that name (Naphtali), I might name my boy that." "Mom, we learned about that in worship!" "Mom, we know this Psalm!".......and more........
Mom frequently says, "Why don't we talk about that later at lunch?" 😆

#thankful for seven and a half years of marriage. The Lord is merciful and kind!

Caroline caught me resting at quiet time.

Caroline wanted a selfie - and I liked the way they turned out 😍.

The kids with their great grandfather on his 85th birthday.

A new picture I added to the shelf in our bedroom. #1samuel119 #remember
