Celebrating Yeshua

December 25, 2010 in Mommy Musings

I love that on this day we celebrate the birth of a baby. As any mother would tell you–with every ounce of expertise it takes to make such a claim– babies are miracles. In and of itself, the birth of a child is worth celebrating. But December 25th is more [...]

December 24, 2010 in Announcements

Although we failed to send one last year, the tradition of an annual Christmas letter with family news updates is one we would really like to maintain—so here it is: Our 2010 Annual Report. The biggest news we have to announce is the presence of a fourth person in our [...]

Decorating with Candy Canes

December 21, 2010 in Making our House a Home, Mom 2 Mom

The first year my husband and I had a home to decorate, we did. And although the mood and music certainly stirs more joy in me than it does in him, I gotta tell ya…my hubby does have an eye for decorating (and taking pretty pictures)! This was the little [...]

Trouble in Bethlehem

December 19, 2010 in Mommy Musings

My mom gave me this little nativity set a few years ago, intended that it be the one our kids would play with (not the expensive breakable one they will not be allowed to touch). Well, play Josiah has. Somewhere along the way, Joseph lost a hand. This may or [...]

Deck the Halls

December 14, 2010 in Making our House a Home

Josiah’s Slide: Before and After

December 12, 2010 in Made by Mom

For Josiah’s Second Birthday, he got a slide from Daddy (You may remember it from this post). I always intended to share some before and after pictures…and am just now getting around to it. Here is the slide as it appeared when I first saw it at the side of [...]

“Playing Catch-Up”

December 10, 2010 in Mommy Musings

Wednesday I turned in the final final draft of my thesis and also had a 30-minute presentation to give in one of my classes. That evening we hosted a big Christmas party with Rodney’s co-workers, which required a clean house and lots of food preparation. Let’s just say I didn’t [...]
