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

Christmas In Full Swing!

Over the past few days I have been busy making candy, wrapping gifts, and doing the other things to get ready for Christmas. Then while I was working on everything, in a quiet house (Anna was napping, and Livy was playing in her room..Trust me it wouldn't be quiet if it wasn't nap time.), and listening to Christmas music I felt God in his gentle way reminded me, "Lora, take time for me today. Be sure to focus on what this season is really about. Christ!" Busy, busy, busy! Everyone is so busy and the stores are so full. It's crazy really. We are really driving it home with Livy that Christmas is all about Jesus.


In other fun happenings around the house, Anna is loving the wrapped gifts under the tree. She scoots her way over to the tree and picks up the small presents. She thinks they are on the floor and under the tree for her benefit. She's a hoot! I caught her in the act the other day.

She also enjoys playing with wrapping paper too. (Do you notice her in the mess? Hey, people just try'n to keep it real! I don't worry about the mess until the end of the day.) Glad she felt like playing because she has had a cough, runny nose, and some fever. Praying she gets well for Christmas. She is feeling better everyday. No more fever or runny nose, but trying to get over that darn cough. Thank you Lord! I really everyone well for Christmas


Livy is super excited about Christmas! And of course with is as always is Buzz Lightyear. She loves that doll! She has a strong obsession with Toy Story. I love that kid!
