Hope Continually -- Psalm 71:14

It has been a busy week!  College girls returning home.  Finishing up our second nine weeks of school.  Christmas shopping.  Church and church duties.  Christmas parties.  Lessons.   My main goal was to finish up the nine weeks - finals, papers, and grading!  If you ever have home schooled, you know what a task that can be.  Especially when December has been a busy month.  I am happy to say Sierra completed all her exams, videos and papers by Thursday!  Summer finished all but her book report.  She is finishing up reading Tom Sawyer.  But everything else is completed, graded and ready to be sent in.   Friday, I mailed in Sierra's grades and I also mailed back all the first semester DVD's and the first set of the whole year DVD's.  Another accomplishment.   So, I am a little behind on blogging but that's ok.  All my girles are home now and I want to be present with them. I hope you have a ...

Sunday, December 15 Last night of The Living Nativity!  Eric was able to come and play a part. Summer, Autumn, Sierra, me and Eric Summer as Mary Summer playing Mary in her scene The crew of The Living Nativity 2024! An aerial view of all the cars lined up to drive through. We had 10,001 people drive through the nativity -  2,600 vehicles!  God is good!  It was an amazing experience and I am so blessed to have been a part with our church family!

Saturday, December 14 Silly Nuggie girl. Well, I finally pulled the trigger and purchased the Litter Robot.  It is an expensive purchase but it will pay for itself in the long run.  I won't have to pay someone to check on the cats and do their litter box when we travel.  The girls helped me to set it up.  Now to get the cats used to it! Autumn is 13% done with her degree!  So proud of her! Third night done! The special ornaments that were made and given out to every car who came through The Living Nativity.  So special!

Friday, December 13 A throwback photo of Jackson helping himself.  Ha! Remembering my Grandma today.  It was her birthday.  I miss you dearly, Grandma. Another funny memory. :) Jackson just falling me all over the place. :) Got these stickers and New Testament Journals for girls for Christmas.  I am excited to give them to them. Summer and I passed out 100 invites in our neighborhood. Brad drove Autumn home on his way home for winter break.  It was very kind of him to do so.  So glad she is home! Got the email about Sierra's high school graduation - ahhh!! On our way to the second night of The Living Nativity! These are the best photos I could get of Summer from afar.  She played Mary in the scene where Gabriel appeared to her. Sierra entertaining the cars. Having a great time!
