I trust that you all had a nice time with your families and friends over the last couple weeks for Christmas and then New Years. We had a good time with our familiy and enjoyed the children as they opened presents. But most importantly, we talked about the importance of Christmas and it's true meaning - Christ and how He came to live and then to die 33 years later for our sins. The kids are learning it bit by bit. Emma was Mary for the Awana Christmas Concert and she takes that role to heart. We watched many reinactments of Mary with baby Jesus. Eva got stuck playing Joseph or a shepherd. She's a good sport ;) Emma is very passionate about being the girl role. But another Christmas season has come and gone. We will never get it back. Time just keeps marching on and the kids just keep growing. Every day is a gift and we can never replay it or relive it. Isn't that weird? It was also Benjamin's first Christmas. That's always a neat moment. Last Christmas he was cozy in my belly making me cozy and hot! And now he's here enjoying the boxes and wrapping paper. We got him a Winnipeg Blue Bombers toque for Christmas. We're starting him young! ;) News Years was spent watching the A team, during which I fell asleep at 10:30 pm. I rang in New Years just right - in a coma :) I love just being home on that night and enjoying the quiet. Right now the snow is falling and the sky is glowing pink. I just LOVE that. I would enjoy a temporary lockdown due to lots of snow too. Call me crazy, but I love when life is forced to slow right down. Enjoy the stillness when you can, the quietness when you can and always enjoy watching your kids, no matter how crazy you feel at times. They are a gift. <3
About Me
- Laura
- I enjoy spending time with my husband. He's my best friend. I love watching my kids. My girls Emma and Eva are learning, growing and changing every day. Our little boy Benjamin is a joy and has made Bobby happy to not be the only male in the house! I like to soak up every bit of their littleness, but I'm telling you they are getting so big! They are cute. My stepdaughter Eternity has lived here since 2008 and it's a blessing to have her here. A teenager in the house really adds an interesting dynamic. Seriously, she's a good kid. We live on a busier street and we are doing a lot of work in our backyard to make it prettier. I should say Bobby is doing most of the work. I'm usually holding a baby or caring for one of the kids or keeping them out of harms way as Bobby works with manly, heavy tools. Life is busy, but I don't want to miss the special moments that come along every day.
