Wow! I Didn't realize...

...it had been that long ago that I posted. I could never catch everything up that has happened, so I'll give you a few highlights. We had a wonderful Christmas, my mother and brother were both able to come up from Florida for Christmas. I know, why would anyone want to leave sunny Florida and travel over 11oo miles North in the winter? The answer is easy, my cute adorable kids make Christmas so much fun. The Lord answered our prayer and while they were here the weather was beautiful, it stayed about freezing and even got into the 50's. This was great since the cold aggravates my moms arthritus. My mom was able to stay about two and half weeks, and my brother stayed ten days. They were both able to see the kids in our Christmas play at church. Our second youngest was one of the little lambs, I'm posting a picture of her in the cute costume my dear friend Cathie helped me make. We made one for all the little lambs at church. She has her hat on a little crooked, but I think it makes her even cuter.

Our Christmas play this year focused on the shepherds at the birth of Christ and tried to portray that Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd. Showing how we are all lost sheep, and he has come "to seek and save to save that which was lost". So many times Jesus is left in the manger as a little babe, but that was just the beginning, he grew, and lived a sinless life and sacrificed himself for to pay for sins. And that is something we try to get across at all our church programs.



Well, what else has happened since my last post? I became an aunt again. One of my dear SIL's had her first child on New Years Day, after 23 hours of hard labor, (baby was 9lbs 8oz) they ended up doing a csection. Mom and baby are recovering well. I haven't been able to see him in about 2 weeks because I've been sick with a nasty cold, and I don't want to share that with the little guy.
My dear husband has been working on getting my stamping/craft room finished. We now have a floor, a ceiling and all the recessed lights are in. We still to add the track lighting. The walls have already primed and I've bought the paint to paint the walls. Now if we just had time to finish. I'm still working on how I want him to build my desk layout. I can't decide if I want to keep my paper in the vertical fililng system I am currently using or if I want to buy some of those racks like they store paper in at the scrapbooking stores. If anyone has suggestions I'd be happy to hear them.
Well, I'd better get going, Hope you all have a Blessed day.
