Friday we stayed home and one of the fun things we did was….make cookies! My Sammy was SO excited he could barely stop jumping long enough to be my helper!
We made Gingersnaps – one of my alltime favorite and really great anytime, but especially around the holidays! My Mom and I use to bake these [...]

Sunday church
Since our new pastor has come in August 0f 2007, I don’t believe I’ve ever thought “is he on his last point yet?” – until today, that is. Today was different. Their was only childcare through 3 years old, so that meant Sammy was with me – and I didn’t remember that until this morning, [...]

Go Tell It on the Mountain
My Sammy rarely sings. I don’t know what happened after the age of 2 when he would sweetly sing “Jesus Loves Me” and “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” During the holidays I like to break into “Go Tell It on A Mountain.” Yesterday I finally got Sammy to sing along with me. And then came his [...]

Captured by God’s Love
Last Sunday my Sammy came home with this precious necklace (for me) that says “I Love Jesus.” It was meaningful to me not only because he gave it to me, but because of what it said and that he gave it to me. It is my heart’s desire that my love for Jesus comes through [...]

Happy Day
Yesterday I stayed home except for a quick run to Brookshires (the little store, as Sammy calls it) for dinner. I had to redeem myself with some wonderful spaghetti that my entire family loves! My left overs weren’t so great the night before, but it was food.
We have been out of the house every morning this [...]

Blog-gumit
Well, I worked for an hour on a post this morning with photos and everything. I had no idea I had started a new page instead of a new post. And I have no idea how to get it from a page to a post! So if you can find it on the side, it’s [...]

My helper
My boys are great helpers. Of course, since Sammy is 4, he has some chores that he helps me with and does a great job and normally with a great attitude. I had stopped having him do his chores (for what reason, I’m not sure!) but picked this up again over the weekend while doing [...]
