Yes in case you wondered, we are still here! Seems like life is busy, busy! Every spare minute I have is spent baking. Now this week I have to make 4 pumpkin pies and three batches of cranberry salad for the school Christmas banquet/Christmas Play Thursday night, on top of baking my cookies.
All the while, Treyton is dealing with another ear infection that just won't go away. He has been on antibiotic for a week now. He could not have amoxicillin since he just had it, so this stuff must not work as good? Plus he just got two more teeth. So goes the life of Motherhood! (:
We have been having colder than normal weather, in the 20's through the day! (: Oh, well, it should not last too long!
The last week, the girls have done a couple little extra projects for fun as you will see below. (:
Our librarian told us about making a gum-drop tree. I thought it would be a cute and unique thing to do. (:

They thought it was interesting!
Jenny and Rissa had fun making reindeer antlers at the library story time.
The girls helped unwrap candy for my cookies, I tried to make sure that the candy was put into the bucket,not their mouths (too much anyway, it is Christmas right? ) (:
They enjoyed putting the candy into the cookies.
One Sunday night we tried our hands at home-made soft pretzels, they were pretty good!
"Mommy's Little Heart-Breaker"
This past Sunday I stayed home since Treyton was sick. Rissa stayed too, so while Trey slept, I took the opportunity to have quality time with JUST Rissa! We read books, colored a picture and did a little swinging out in the cold.
Peek-a-boo!
A pretty South Carolina sunset!
I recently was talking to a friend who said that sometimes we Christians are more like the children of Israel than we would like to admit! We are not easily satisfied; we complain when it is hot, but complain when it is cold too, maybe our house is too small, but if it were bigger we would not like how much more cleaning we have to do, or our vehicle is rusty and has tires that fall apart cause they are too worn, (yes we had another flat, but all are now new!), but we don't have payments to complain about each month, our kids are always getting sick, but we complain when they are FULL of too much energy. It is so easy to think that things can always be better than how it is at the present! I was challenged recently with a story/song I heard on the radio recently, that makes my complaints look small, and made me feel guilty for not being more thankful for how God has blessed me and my family! Especially at this time of year where family togetherness is thought about even more than usual.
