Missing my Uncle Wawee

Here I am eating some of his good ole sausage. Thinking about him today. He's been gone a little over a year, yet we haven't forgotten about him. 

Yay!!

I have been meaning to put this back on my phone to record our lives!!

Busy Day

Let's get today started.  It's somewhat busy, but what keeps me wanting to stay home is the cold, rainy weather and a snuggly little girl who is a little under the weather.  Who wouldn't want to stay snuggled in bed with Miss S?? 

However, dentist appts for both kiddos await us, along with a lunch date at my parents' house, and then on to giving my uncle a pedicure and manicure.  Then church tonight!

Wowzers!!!

Our kids are growing up so fast.  They're about to be 6 & 8 years old.  Makes me sad, but makes me happy too.  I'm so proud of each of them and what a year 2016 was.

Highlights:
*Sadie asked Jesus into her heart and was baptized in Sammie's pool at her senior apartments by my dad (Poppy).
*Zachary finished1st grade and learned to read.  This was my biggest fear of homeschooling - teaching my kids to read.  I have never taught anyone to read, so it scared me.  However, he's now reading around a 3rd grade level and he's in 2nd grade. 
*Sadie started kindergarten and is really enjoying school a lot.  She is doing good with learning all her sounds, we teach phonics, not just memorization.
*Caleb was granted by the court to live in Texas with his dad - HUGE accomplishment!!!
*Les and I purchased land in East Texas and hope to build a little cottage/cabin in the future.  Maybe retire out there someday, who knows!  God does ;)
*We camped a lot last year; which was awesome.  Nothing like waking up out in God's creation, our CREATOR of all this beautiful eye candy.  LOL
*God healed my mom from cancer - AMEN!!!!!!!!!
*Zachary had his first grand mal seizure over the summer; which put me into a crying spree, but I really like his neurologist and I trust in the Great Physician.

So much more, but I'll keep those memories for myself and my family.  <3

Make today a great day in the Lord!!  To God be the Glory!
