Just spreading a little Christmas cheer from here in California. 🙂
Okay, this is not our house, but it does exist. On the other side of town, in fact.

How Sweet the Sound
The other night I snuggled up with my son to read books before bed. He picked one of his favorites, a Bible story book with cool illustrations of Noah’s Ark and Jonah and the whale.

Merry Christmas!
More on Christmas and Charlie Brown

( I am thankful for every aspect of our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ, but grace…wow. The longer I’m a parent the more God’s grace is so astounding to me.)ContinueContinue reading “Giving Thanks”
Butterfingers for Breakfast
*Originally posted Oct. 28 2010 Eating a fun-size Butterfinger at eight o’clock in the morning is probably not a good idea. But unfortunately, it was too early for that thought to register in my brain. So when my 19 month old son ran over to the five gallon cauldron of candy we filled last nightContinueContinue reading “Butterfingers for Breakfast”
