Peek…

My beloved camera–my first in a million years–has given up the ghost. No flowers please…I’m trying desperately to be brave. While I work out the ups and downs of replacing it, I’ve decided to entertain you with a little “Chompy road show” from Jillian’s camera…that we’ll call “Hide and Peek.”

First–she hides. You know how that works…

If she can’t see you–then certainly, you can’t see her either. Anyplace is the perfect hiding place…

as long as your eyes stay squinched shut!

Hee hee…

Things To Love…

The covert, aspiring photographer we have at our place.

Reconnecting with my best friend- “Berni” after a few months.

The new love of my life at the Sweet Tooth Fairy. Holy smokes.

The latest pirate girl fashion.

Chompy’s new pals–Caillou and Gilbert.

My first taste of “Hoppin’ John,” a great New Year’s dish of black-eyed peas, rice and ham. Dang fine.

Finishing all the paperwork. Now please, please everyone pray that the new passport gets here in time for the Bald Kid to enter the MTC–or he’ll be set back about 6 weeks!

Beloved batter fingers–any day of the week.

What about you? What do you love today?

Christmas Angels

It’s funny–isn’t it–that these little ones don’t really question…

all the boxes and crates and tins that we carry in from wherever they’ve been hiding since last Christmas.

Do you think they wonder why this time of year we surround ourselves with sparkly stars, gingerbread, pine cones and tiny shepherds?

Or do you think, maybe…

that in their gentle angel hearts…

They already know?

 

 

 

 

{Believing}

 

If you cannot remember believing in God or if you have ceased to believe or if you believe but without real conviction, I invite you to seek a testimony of God now. Do not be afraid of ridicule. The strength and peace that come from knowing God and having the comforting companionship of His Spirit will make your efforts eternally worthwhile.”

– Elder Robert D. Hales
