Wandering through life one season at a time
For those of you in the Dallas area, head on out to Canton this weekend and visit The Attic Door Photography. Some good friends of ours are responsible for the beautiful personalized signs you will see at this booth.
Wouldn’t a teen’s name or college initials be a great graduation present? Or how about these gorgeous inspirational photos for Mother’s Day!
You will find The Attic Door Photography in Trade Center II, space #35, every First Monday Canton Weekend.
Wow, I guess I took an unintentional bloggy break! December was super busy around here, but very peaceful. The kids in our church put on their 3rd annual Christmas Story nativity play. They always do such a good job! This year Dancerella was Mary, Little Prince was a shepherd, Sassyfrass was an angel and Sweetpea filled in for Baby Jesus. (A big Thank You to Donna & Kelli for the beautiful pics.) [My adorable nephew is Joseph, and the other two in the 2nd shepherd pic are Javamama’s cuties.]
My sister and her gang came up for the week after Christmas, and my uncle, aunt & cousin popped in for the weekend. Our house was full of love and laughter!
Our year ended on a bittersweet note as my good friend Javamama and her family packed up and moved away. God called them to serve Him and they gladly, though tearfully, obeyed. We had an emotional last Sunday of blessings and goodbyes. Thank you God for Facebook (I’m not kidding!).
Expresso, Javamama, Superman, T-Rex and Butterfly:
WE LOVE YOU AND WE MISS YOU!!
I am looking forward to this new year as I make new plans and try new things. I want to be the wife and mother that God has designed me to be, not the poor imitation that I’ve tried to create.
MAY YOU AND YOURS HAVE A BLESSED NEW YEAR!

My friend Kelli was blogging long before I was, and she was always talking about her bloggy friends. I wondered how in the world you make friends through the internet! Now I realize that you do it the same way you do IRL (In Real Life): you find people with similar interests & just start chatting :o)
Sweet & funny Rhen sent me this award.
I want to pass it along to:
My new internets pals Julie, SouthernGirlMusings, & Carrie (she’s on Rhen’s list so she gets it twice!). I don’t know these ladies very well (yet), but I enjoy their blogs & their sweet comments. I’m also sending it along to my IRL friends Jill, Kelli, Melanie, Tiersa, Shellie & Emme. Now maybe Tiersa & Emme will post something ;o)
I would also give this award to my sister Angela IF SHE WOULD EVER START A BLOG! She is creative, talented, and constantly showing me pics of her projects. Wouldn’t you like to be able to see them too?
The always sweet & thoughtful Julie at According to His Power has honored me with two awards. I’m always so surprised to receive these awards, and thankful that my little bloggy world is helpful to others.
Mathetes is the Greek word for disciple. The Mathetes Award was created by management by God and I would like to pass it on to the following people:
Carrie at chocolate the other white meat – I have a feeling that Carrie & I are very different (LOL), but she has a heart for Christ and that makes us sisters. She has thoughtful posts like this and this.
MotherJoy at Thoughtful Motherhood – She is so transparent and honest. I know her thoughts help more people than she can imagine.
Melanie at Mommy Wiggy – Melanie is a dear friend of mine. She has been given the gift of hospitality and she continually blesses those around her.
Shellie at The Carriker’s Craziness – Shellie is an old friend and we just recently re-connected. There is always something encouraging on her site.
The Community Blog Award celebrates people who reach out and makes the blogger community a better one.
I want to pass this along to Just Call Me Jamin! Her blog is a treasure chest of ideas for teaching your kiddos, whether you homeschool or not!
Wait for the LORD;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the LORD!
Psalm 27:14
