Merry Christmas 2007

I can't believe that it has been almost 3 months since my last post. My gosh, the time flies! I just want to wish everyone Merry Christmas. May Christ's love shine on all of you.

Where does the time go??

I can't believe it's August already? Where did July go?? I know where June went. I vended at 3 different quilt shows and lost a family member.

I did get some pictures taken over the past few months. Like I need another hobby, but I love taking pictures. They are a great inspiration in colors.

These were taken in the past week. We've had below average temperatures and lots of rain. It's still green here and it's August! That is unheard of in Central West Texas. It's usually brown by the end of May. Thank you Lord for the fantastic weather and green grass. The colors in the clouds and the rays of light were breath taking!

2 weeks ago we took the kids to the Ft. Worth Science Museum. They had a big Star Wars exhibit which all the kids and hubby just loved. They had all the movie props. Bryce isn't one much for taking pictures, but I finally got him in one. I sure miss Briana and Blake. They will be home in a few weeks. Bryce came home early to work on Driver's Ed.

Then the little boys got to dig for dinosaur bones *wink*. They loved that. Here are Marshall and Morgan digging up bones.

His Mercies are New Every Morning

Thank you Lord for reminders of your glory.

Time Flies

my goodness. I can't believe it's been over a month since I posted. I've seen some great quilts in that time, went on a great retreat, and have tons of inspiration. Problem is not enough time to do everything I want. Boy, I really wish I could put myself into warp speed and not tire out. My mom and I are getting ready to be vendors at the Abilene Quilt Show in 2 weeks. We have SO much to do in that amount of time but I want to take time and smell the roses too. Speaking of roses, look at the size of these roses at my mother's house.

Life flies by and people are gone before you know it. Always let the ones you care about and love know how much they mean to you. We recently lost a good friend. He was only 38 years old and left a young family who dearly loved him. This man lived life to the fullest and loved the Lord with all his heart. 2 hours before he passed, I happened to be going to town. A storm had moved through and there was the largest fullest rainbow that I have ever seen in my life. That is saying alot since I have lived in Hawaii and saw rainbows almost daily. As soon as I saw it, the Lord's words popped into my head: "I will never leave you or foresake you." Thank you Lord for sending us beautiful reminders of your love.

What a difference a week makes

After the beginning of last week being SO beautiful, it ended up in a deep freeze. Monday was in the 80s. We got new bunnies and the boys just love them.

BUT by Saturday, our high was 28!! SNOW for EASTER! We got between 2-3" but the gound was so warm it didn't stck. It sure was piled on the cars thou =) Patch was having a blast out in the snow.

This picture was taken the day before Easter just south of Abilene by some hunters. Isn't this an amazing picture??

Spring is HERE!

We've had rain here in West Texas. It's been great and made everything so green! Enjoying it while we can before everything turns brown in summer. We took off after church yesterday to go bluebonnet hunting. We took some great pictures of the kids. The flowers smell just wonderful!!!!!
