girly girl

Selah has finally allowed me to put a hair clip in her hair and she did not rip it out. Yippy!

Cleaning up

Selah likes to sprinkle water from her cup onto various things, but this time more came out than expected. Anyways, she started trying to wipe it up herself. So cute!

Grandpa and Maya

My Grandpa has always given us the impression that he does not particularly like dogs, but I think this video tells a different story. And of all the dogs to cuddle with he picks Maya!

May you have a blessed New Year!

"Hi, Elmo! This is Selah!"

Thank You Mom for making Selah's Christmas stocking!
You did an amazing job!

Selah is coloring her first picture. Normally she
rips the paper or eats the crayon. We've graduated
to actually using the crayons and paper for their
intended purpose.

Selah loves it when her daddy plays guitar. And from
the looks of it she is a budding guitarist herself.
Rock out sweet girl!

Fun in the dirt! Thanks Aunt Jenny and
Uncle Dustin for the cute sweater!

I realized that I have not blogged since Christmas. I doubt anyone actually reads this, but just in case I'll give you an update. We had a wonderful Christmas with our families. Enjoyed good food, fun games, and great company! Now we have entered into a brand new year, and I look forward to what the Lord will bring us this year. I have had a couple people ask me if I had any new year's resolutions. Although the idea of setting goals sounds great I do not like the idea of marking a point each year to form a list of bad habits that we need to change. I believe that every day we should be disciplined, and ready and willing to change ourselves and be changed.

"Understand this: If a homeowner knew exactly when a burglar was coming, he would not permit his house to be broken into. You also must be ready all the time, for the Son of Man will come when least expected." Luke 12:39-40

We do not know when Jesus will return and take the faithful home. Until then, we must keep our eyes on God, and on a daily basis rid ourselves of bad habits. Eventually these things will be a memory, a time when we struggled but in the end were a better person for that struggle.

Merry Christmas!

And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. She gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.
That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. "Don't be afraid!" he said, "I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior-yes, the Messiah, the Lord-has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger."
Suddenly, the angel was joined by vast host of others-the armies of heaven-praising God and saying,

"Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased."

(Luke 2:6-14)

It just keeps coming!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Snow day fun!
