Home for the Holidays
Home was especially inviting this year. It seemed this upcoming Christmas season crept in the back door and was almost overlooked until it was sitting on my lap! I hit the ground running when I realized "What? Only 14 days left!" Not much had been done. So from that moment on it was all hussle and bussle. Needless to say, being home on December 25th was a welcomed day! The kids slept in until 8:30 (phew!). We started with John opening up the Bible and reading the Christmas story and thanking the Lord for sending His son to be the Savior of the world. Jeffrey and Joel passed out the presents. It was a grand time. John helped me with all the food before his Dad and Marian arrived. We spent the day relaxing and chatting while the kids enjoyed the day with their new treasures. Grandpa put on his "Santa" suit...which is really red pj's with the drop drawer in the back. The kids got a good laugh as he passed out their gift of $50 each for a family ski trip. We are all so excited. Grandma Bailey got the boys a computer, which of course was quite a thrill, now lets just pray it is used for school and not just games. We are a blessed family and thank God everyday for his generosity and goodness to us.
We've come a long way baby! John and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary this past February. It's been a while since it was just the two of us and we have a long way to go. On the days that we don't say "What were we thinking?" we are praising God for our crazy family of 5 boys...and lets not forget the 6th boy that lives with us and has wormed his way into our hearts and lives (I'll save that story for another day).I am so blessed to have the Lord in my life. He shows Himself faithful to me everyday. I am married to a Pastor and wouldn't change a thing...I have everything I need plus 113 more things!
I am the Mother of 5 wonderful, adventurous, smart and talented boys a mother could ask for.
My journey in raising our Beagle has been another story!
Sit back and enjoy "All Things Bentley"!
