New Year's Eve

Today I am wishing you this sort of celebration...

Pages scanned from a sweet little falling-apart children's book taken from my bookshelf.

Here's to a Grand New Year... see you on the other side.

How My Kids Felt About Christmas Morning

Need a closer look?







One celebration down, two more to go...

Christmas Day

Good Christmas morning to you All... I don't know about your house, but its about to get crazy around here. Stockings, stuffed crepes, bacon and coffee, lots of presents, then lots of playing and just being together.

May your day be Merry and Bright... and full of Love.

Christmas Eve

As I sit here, in the stillness of a Christmas Eve afternoon, there are things both heavy and light on my heart. The song "Winter Snow", written by Audrey Assad is on repeat via iTunes, fueling my contemplation. A soothing, encouraging, reminder of the Peace brought to earth that day so long ago.

Could’ve come like a mighty storm
with all the strength of a hurricane
You could’ve come like a forest fire
with the power of heaven in your flame

But you came like a winter snow
quiet and soft and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
to the earth below

Could’ve swept in like a tidal wave
or an ocean to ravish our hearts
You could have come through like a roaring flood
to wipe away the things we’ve scarred

But you came like a winter snow
quiet and soft and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
to the earth below

No, your voice wasn’t in a bush burning
No, your voice wasn’t in a rushing wind
It was still, it was small, it was hidden

But you came like a winter snow
quiet and soft and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
to the earth below
