Happy 25th Lema!

I read so many blogs and love the pictures and details in them, which makes me want to do better at adding to my own. Life seems to take you away and time dissapears. I will show the results of the picture frame soon.

Things have been kind of hard for us lately, especially with the holidays approaching. Citizenship papers need to be filed by January, which is bad timing for the Christmas season.Who new they would cost so much? Then again, I am having lots and lots of fun exploring my creative side and making homemade gifts. (pictures to come soon.)

We would also love to add to our family, mostly so Miles will have someone to play with, but that subject is hard too. After two miscarriages, it's a very emotional subject. Still we know that what the Lord wants to happen will happen.

On to happier things, I am so glad it's December tomorrow! Christmas is my favorite holiday by far! Music, baking, gifts, decorations, I love it all! I wish the Christmas spirit would last all year.

Here's an early resolution to keep up with our blog, and live life to the fullest!

Something old to something new

One of my favorite things to do is to buy old items from the thrift store and "spruce" them up a bit to make them my own. I never see things as they are, but how I can fix them up to become new and up to date. Here is a small shelf with cross stitch in it, but I see it as a photo frame and key holder. It was $1.50, scratched, and needed a fresh coat of stain. Stay tuned to see what I can come up with! (Petend the hooks aren't there. I added them before taking my "before" photo.)

Back from a great trip

Here we are, on the beach in Samoa on miles' birthday. I love this picture with everyone smiling, the rain just beginning to fall and not a care in the world. I would highly recommend a far away vacation to everyone!

A post! Hooray for posting a post!

This is my first official post, by myself without any help. So far, so good!

Saturdays are the best. I get so much done when Lema is home. I miss him during the week, even though we see him every afternoon after work. There's just nothing better than spending a day together as a family. Wouldn't it be nice to stay home and still get paid for it? How would it be.......

I just can't get enough of Miles and his cute cheeks and toothy smile. Hard to believe he is almost one.

It's late, but I have to say this blogging thing may become addicting. :)
