Almost Christmas

I am sitting on the couch, with Kens Laptop on my lap, and are watching a program on the TV about Christmas in Yellowstone park. It is beautiful! It is about a wildlife photographer that is spending the days alone, living with just a backpack and his camera. He built little tarp shelters for the night, and used skis to get around.
But the best part was the amazing pictures. Huge waterfalls with icicles, icy water, wolves, bison stuck in the snow, and foxes. It showed snow blowing over the mountains, and geysers blowing up steam in the sunset on December 21 (same as today). The colours, the snow, the peace, the natural beauty, and so much more.
Every time I see beautiful pictures of nature, I am amazed at the wonderful world that was created. The huge mountains, the small creatures, the big beasts, the rivers. All of it created, made, planned, by a loving God.

Nicole is Learning to Sew

Nicole wanted to learn to use the sewing machine, so she made a small pillow for her doll. Then Mommy cut some squares of fabric, and Nicole sewed them together. She understood the pattern, and knew how to place each piece together to make this design. Mommy helped with the backing and the petal on the floor, but Nicole did most of the work. She pieced and guided all the material. She isn't even afraid of the machine now! Good job girl!

I want to be a Peanut Butter Maker

Kenny proudly announced what he wanted to be when he grew up. A Peanut Butter Maker. He then drew a picture, and Mommy labeled everything!

After drawing his picture, we all decided to eat peanut butter sandwiches for lunch.

Great job Buddy!
