And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

So I'm Blogging..

on this Sunday morning after Christmas and it's quiet in the house. I'm watching my baby girl sleep and listening to an awesome message by James MacDonald on the internet about peace (the peace of God, from God, and with God) It's amazing! I do want to be in church with my family this morning, but this is a super second.

We had a great Christmas!! God blessed us so much over the past few weeks since we have been home. The best present we received is a healthy sweet baby girl. I have reflected over the past three weeks we have been home that God's peace has been so abundant in our home and lives. He is so good! Thank God He allowed us the grace to get through the second half of November. It was funny, a couple weeks ago John said "Christmas is next week." My response was, "No it's not!" Then I remember we didn't have a November! Half of it was spent in the hospital and we got home and it was December. This month has been amazing! The Christmas season has been amazing!! To have our family home and celebrate our Savior's birth "at home exclusively" has been wonderful and restful. Thank God for rest! Seriously.

We opened presents with John's folks on Christmas Eve morning. We thought it would be fun to have two mornings of presents. Hey, why not?

John's Mom embroidered Anna's name on a sleeper sack they folks got for her. Very cute!
This was one of our gifts that we gave Livy. She wanted a doll house and a princess castle and hey, it's the best of both worlds. She had a fit when she saw it under the tree Christmas morning.

We got two wonderful presents this years. We got a Wii and Wii Fit!! YAHOO! This postpartum momma soooooo needed that!! I'm pretty pumped about it. Our family has been on it everyday. Who knew working out could be fun.?.? I'm loving the aerobics and tennis. Livy is loving it too. She loves to bowl. It's pretty comical.

Then John got the TV he has wanted for years. The supportive wife in me is so thrilled he has one. Merry Christmas to us.
John is SUPER happy! Dang if I have a techie hubby!
