11. my girls saying sweet things to me out of the blue (like, “you’re my favorite mom.”)

12. “Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.”  Psa. 27:14

13. “But certainly God has heard; He has given heed to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer nor His lovingkindness from me.”  Psa. 66:19-20

is everyone ready for Christmas?  what are your plans?

love all the sweet little words from your girls you have posted on FB lately. you know, cut-outs are the one cookie we haven't made yet this year, and while we have sweets coming out our ears i just HAVE to make them...for the tradition and memories! :) that scarf is gorgeous (as are you!). merry, merry Christmas friend...got your Christmas card the other day...such a gorgeous family! maybe once the baby arrives i will send out birth announcements in lieu of Christmas cards...i just can't get it together to get them out this year!
