Snow???

I find it very interesting that last night's weather forecast said there would be no snow on Christmas yet tonight they say there is a chance. I think the weather people do this on purpose just to get everyones hopes up for a white Christmas because every year at this time they say there is a chance of snow!!!

We are having a good time in Nashville although the kids have both had colds. Sage's started before we left with a fever and now Sonya has had her run with the fever yesterday. My prayer is that they are completely better before Christmas! I can't wait to experience Christmas day with my girls and see what fun they are going to have. They are at some great ages right now and I think this is a great year to be spending it with my parents. In the last few years Christmas in Nashville has seemed really low key since my grandparents have been gone and we don't have as big a family Christmas anymore. I love big family get-togethers. This year, although I still miss them, I feel that new life has been added to our family celebration now that we have Sonya and Sage. I see the shift in the circle of life as I am now in my parents shoes and they get to be the grandparents. The joy has returned as I embrace this change.

An update on the firefighter.....Even though he scored well, Daniel didn't make the cut after the written test so now we get to see what the Lord has planned for us next! I'm not looking forward to tax season again so please join me in praying before and through that season of our life.

As I end this post my thoughts go to our Tuesday Ladies Bible Class and Peggy Nelson, the lady who always does announcements, always begins with "Isn't it great to be a Christian!!"

Yes, it is!!!

Hair

So, I grew up in Nashville and have had the same hair stylist since my junior year of high school. I have lived in Texas now for 5 years, but I have never had my hair cut in Texas.....I always wait until I visit Nashville.

Anyone else have a story like this????

Life

What a lovely piece of pottery! Sonya probably painted this one pot five times, but she had fun doing it and I enjoyed watching her.
She is potty trained!!!! Yippee!!!
My big girl!! She is so much fun to watch and be around. She is weaned from nursing now and did really great, although I can tell she needs a little more snuggle time than usual.
Sisters! I love watching my girls!
Cousin Annalise came over for the evening while her mom and sister went out for a girls night. All 3 had great fun! It's funny to watch Sage when Sonya is playing with a friend. She wants to be right there with them...

I can't believe it's December!! I also can't believe that I have most of my Christmas shopping done. I'm the girl who is usually scrambling the week before! I don't have any decorations up though...
Please keep Daniel in your prayers this week...he is taking the written exam for firefighters on Thursday. He feels that the Lord has put it on his heart to be a firefighter and has applied with the city of Fort Worth. If he passes the exam then he will take the physical test and go on from there....With this job he could spend more time at home and also do something more fulfilling than what he's doing now. This also means a lot of changes for our family, but we trust in the Lord with His plans and provision.
I have just started some babysitting. I am keeping a girl from down the street once or twice a week who is a year older than Sonya. Yesterday was our first day and it went pretty smoothly. It will be nice to have the little bit of extra cash to add to the kitty :)
That's life for now! It's really starting to get busy...lots of holiday functions to attend to over the next few weeks....should be fun!!
