Celebrating the New Year...

Last night, we had a wonderful time of food, fellowship and games with each other to help ring in the New Year.

So much has happened this past year. Much of it I'd like to forget. Sooo hopefully 2012 will be a better year.

We had a quick dinner of chicken,brown rice with tomato's, and peas. Along with some biscuits. Then we cleaned up from dinner. Big Daddy and I ran some errands, went and picked up some "snack" stuff from the store.

After showers and tubbies, we all got in our jammies and had a blast at Wii bowling tournaments, and carnival games! Around 10 pm we lost Big Daddy and Anna to sleepyland. Big Daddy did wake when I took Anna from his arms and put her to bed.

We made some shrimp, pigs in a blanket, pizza and mozzarella sticks for snacks and rang in the New Year by toasting together with some grape sparkling cider.

Midnight came, kisses all around, rang our dinner bell and off to sleep!

At breakfast I made overnight french toast, with sausage patties and tangerines.

We spent the day at my Aunt's farm out in the a most beautiful unseasonably warm January day.

Great way to spend the first day of the New Year!

From Our Home To Yours....

Cool Temps = Warm Meals

  One of my favorite things to do on a cold crisp day is cooking and baking. Something about the smell of onions, carrots, and celery sauteing up brings a sense of home. And remind me powerfully of my grandmother. The memories of being in her home and feeling her love are all tied to food, where she spent the bulk of her time. Preparing nourishing meals for her family.  When we take the time to prepare meals, we show love to our family. Tonight, I made a Potatoe, Bacon, Cheddar, and Good Ol' Fashion Chicken Noodle.

Hubby was in an accident....

Proverbs 31 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. The blaring ring of the phone woke me on Tuesday morning... 7:15am... I knew as soon as I looked at the clock, something was wrong. No one calls here that early.. I quickly peel a child out of my arms and trying to not wake her, before the phone does. She had a restless night. "hello" in a whisper.. as I was still in my bedroom. Walking out of my room, I hear my darling hubbys nervous voice, "I was in an accident" Me, "Are you ok"... Him, "yes" Me" do you need me to come?" Him, "no, I'll call you" He explained what happened. His company truck was pretty messed up, and the air bags went off. He said he had some airbag burn, felt ok, just stressed. Next call I got was from him in the police car, the officer was kind enough to drop him off at work. The convers

Trusting God..to not nag!

Proverbs 21:  19 Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife This was me, for a few months now. You see after we left our old church my husband was hurt, I mean hurt beyond any hurt. And luckily we were welcomed in by friends of ours at another church that really helped us heal. These people were awesome, and supportive. However that church is a full 50 + miles from our home. And the drive was getting to my darling hubby. But *I* said, we have to go.. we MUST be in church, little quips and little things said here and there, and what would my lovely husband do, he would go to appease me. Don't get me wrong, my hubby loves church and loves the people, but it was stressing to him. Hubby works an hour away during the week, and travels then. Then Saturday comes and we're rush to do this, that, and the other thing.. Fixing the house, outside commitments, helping friends, more driving, more mess in our own home sometimes.  Which we would then have to c
