Happy Birthday, Jesus!

Just wanted to wish everyone a fabulous Christmas! I hope you all feel the love and peace of our precious Savior ,Jesus Christ! Happy Birthday, Jesus! Have you heard that Christmas carol, Happy Birthday, Jesus? I love that song and I have yet to hear it this year.

I just finished a short run before I deliver some baked goodies to special friends. I have to run today considering all the tastes of sugar plums that have touched my lips in the last couple days. My boys are out golfing today. That would be a first for them, golfing on Christmas Eve, that is!
We will go to our church service tonight and then out for dinner. Then off to have a long winters nap before the jolly ole man comes to visit. Boy, part of me is sad that Santa doesn't visit our house anymore but the rest of me is sooooo glad. Christmas Eve is much more relaxing these days.

K reminded us that this is maybe the first Christmas we have spent alone, just the four of us, without other family. We will visit other family later in the week.

I want to share this photo of the boys. We went and saw Polar Express in 3D earlier in the week. It was sooooooooooo fun!!!! I cried, of course!



Oh, and one more note....before I logged on to my blog I noticed a story on msn that a woman swallowed her cell phone???? I hope she's okay! If someone called her would you be able to hear it ring? Never say never!

Merry Christmas!!!!

A lighter heart today!

My heart is much lighter today. I was able to talk to my mom yesterday. She was waiting to go into another surgery. She sounded really well. The surgery went good. We think now all the complications are taken care of and she will be able to go home in a few days. Thank you for your prayers and please continue to pray that no other unforseen events will occur.

Merry Christmas!

Blessed to be Blogging, again

How can I not blog when I have a new Dell Inspiron Notebook (early Christmas present)? It is a must especially when I can write anywhere - in bed under the covers, in the kitchen while I am cooking, in my big chair in the living room while I'm drinking hot mocha chocolate with a huge dallop of whip cream ( one of my favorite things by the way- the whip cream), at Starbucks (I haven't actually done that yet, but I can!) , in the bathroom while I am getting ready for the day and sitting outside on my backporch (although it is a little cold for that today).

So..... I feel led to share how blessed I feel today even though I have a heavy heart.

I feel blessed because (not in any specific order):

I am blogging in my unmade bed in my pajamas at 9:48 am.
I can be home with my boys today even though L is already bored.
I am able to celebrate the birth of Jesus and His love for me!
I have an absolutely incredible ,loving, giving, sweet, romantic, awesome husband!
My oven is working now..... I will share the story later.. and I can start baking goodies.
That I have precious friends that are always there for me when
I need them!
The opportunity to visit with old friends.
That I am somewhat finished with shopping and now I can just enjoy.
That we don't have to be anywhere this week.
That I finally got my Christmas cards finished (and almost mailed)


My heart is heavy because:

My mom is in the hospital this morning. She has been there since Wednesday. She had a new pacemaker put in but the doctors are struggling to regulate her blood pressure and prevent her blood from clotting. She if frustrated because she had been there longer than she thought she would and is anxious to get home. I can't talk to her because there is not phone in her room. I can't visit her because she is in another city. I called my good friend Kim yesterday and asked her to go visit her for me and possibly let me talk to her on her cell phone. I'm not sure if that's going to work but it is worth a try!

Please pray for her! I know God is in control!

Hope you have a blessed day!

Just not in the mood!

Hey Everyone! I feel like I am really neglecting my blog. Don't really know why, but I'm just not in the mood lately! Don't really know what to say.....my mind had just been blank and I really haven't felt like writing anything at all! Maybe because I have been busy, but I don't think that's it really. I am just speechless, which is actually very odd for me.

I miss you all! I will be checking in with all of you to see what is going on in your worlds.... and eventually I will be blog worthy again quite soon!

The one thing that I do want to share with you is something I heard at our church Christmas program:

This Christmas, think of what gift you can give Jesus - He has already given us everything we need!
