Garrett's Birthday..
Garrett turned 9 on Dec. 29th and it has been our tradition to go to ChuckeCheese. This year we went in the morning. I had a coupon for tokens and we skipped the pizza (ick). We ate somewhere else for a much better price. We were the only ones there for most of the time. It was the best experience I've ever had at a CEC..it really isn't my favorite place. I think Garrett is outgrowing it, so this may be the last year.

What will 2013 bring?
We have had a bundle of snow so far...more then all of last winter! I can't say January is my favorite month (or Feb or Mar), but I know winter will eventually end! I still can't get away from my Texas roots. The Sun is my friend.
I am looking forward to continuing to home school all of the kids. I take it a day at a time and try to enjoy each day. My goal is that they (first) Love God with all of their hearts, mind and soul and love their neighbors and secondly, that I can build a great relationship with my children. No small goals..but one day at a time.
My kids will all get a year older! This year I'll see them turn 21, 20, 18, 16, 12, 10, 7, 5 & 2. I pray that they will all mature and grow in the Lord each day.
I am also looking forward to having a bigger garden this year. We have someone hired to come out in the spring and till up a spot and I am excited about that. We may also add to our chickens and perhaps throw in a few ducks to the mix. I also hope to train the llamas to be a circus act. Really that is a joke as they are wild and practically untouchable.
I continue to purge and organize..this is an ongoing thing. If I could just avoid buying more books. Having a Nook helps but I still love to buy kids books.
I want to stay active in a Bible Study with other believers. I am currently studying Romans with several friends and loving it.
I plan to be content and enjoy each day of 2013. My hope is in the Lord alone. Troubling times may increase in our world but I am confident in Him. We may experience trials and difficult times, but He is always faithful and will never leave us.
Happy 2013!!!!
