exciting

Last night mom and I went to the "Behold the Lamb of God" Andrew Peterson concert! Brandon Heath, Andy Osenga, and Jill Phillips were all on tour with him also. We got to hear Brandon Heath sing "Give me your eyes" LIVE!!! I was soo happy! I took a video of Brandon Heath, but it really stinks so here's the link to you tube if you would like to watch ithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5AkNqLuVgY. Andrew Peterson is amazing, I really wanted to put one of his videos on my blog but the "free videos" thing on his blog is not working. :( Andy Osenga is very cool too! Here's a link to watch a video he made with his daughters, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyoQtpVNMxs&feature=player_embedded. I hope you like it!

Walk through Bethlehem

This week we went to "walk through Bethlehem" at Brookside church. Elliot really enjoyed going, from the past years we have gone, he has saved up 25 coins (the money used to buy things in the city). So, he was very excited to go and spend his money! Elliot and I both made a bread, and because we were the first group there we did not have to wait in line to make it either. :) Enjoy the pictures, (I'll be adding more later).

The Nutcarcker

Today we went to the one hour version of the nutcracker. It was a lot of fun to see our friends there and be in the beautiful orpheum, and enjoy pizza hut afterward. I don't have any pictures of the performance, because you are not suppose to take any. Bummer. Anyways, if any of you ever have a chance to go see the nutcracker please go, they do a very good job. Have a nice day!

Thanksgiving and Prayer

I have not stopped giving thanks for you

and remembering you in my prayers

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ

the glorious Father may give you the spirit,

of the wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened

in order that you may know the hope that which He has called you,

the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints,

and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

The power is like the working of His mighty strength.

Amen.

- Ephesians 1:15-19

comforting thought....

Today in Cancun, Mexico it's 86 degrees. I'm not sure if this is a very nice fact, but it's just something to think about other than the wet, windy, cold, and cloudy weather here (I didn't put a picture up of the beach because that would just be cruel). Anyways, have a happy day! :)

shoe box party

Everyone with their shoe boxes!

How cute they're matching! :)

My shoebox for a 2-4 year old.

This week was our shoebox party with our home school group! We all get together and bring shoe boxes that we packed for Samaritans purse, and a food dish from a different country. Samaritans purse is a ministry who collects shoe boxes filled with toys and other needed items for children around the world that do not know about the love of Christ for them and they each are given a shoebox as a Christmas gift, good stuff. Thank you Mrs. Rothfuss and Mrs. Vogltanz for planning the shoe box party!

our wreath

Yesterday Elliot hung up our balsam wreath on the house. We all agree that it looks really nice!
Thanks Elliot you rock!
