Cousin Visit

Elita came over to join our little party for an afternoon last weekend.
It was nice to finally watch Diane's girl for a change -a she's so good about watching my two...
Both Erik and Katelyn loves watching over her.
Hope they all have a blast growing up together - being close - like good cousins are supposed to be. :)
I sure had fun growing up with mine.

Cute x 3

Our three treasures.

Life Lately

We're working on the laundry room right now...which is quite exciting. :) So that means a few evenings of painting, after James' work building shelves, and drywall/mudding, etc.
 My man working away.
Laura didn't feel like being left out of the fun. 
 Can't wait to finish it up - clean it, and everything.
On Sunday we had an older couple from our church over for lunch. (one of my freezer meals :)
Mr. Avey playing with Erik. 
 Mrs. Avey loving Laura.
She's an amazing woman - as she looks after her husband with great patience.
 The gang.
 Mr. and Mrs. Avey.
Thankful for pictures of some of the older people from our church.
Making candy cane cookies with the kiddos yesterday - always a busy time as you manage the flour and eager hands ready to devour the dough. :) Those cookies always remind me of the "C" family from our Alberta church. :) Good memories - past and present.
We don't have a lot of Christmas baking to do this year - because all the ladies at Whitebird (where James works) included me in their Christmas baking exchange (thanks Diane!) right after Laura was born. I didn't even have to do any exchanging - just enjoying...super thankful for that right now!
God always provides and blesses...

More love

 
Steph and her girls stopped by to bring us supper (we had over a week of wonderful supper meals, provided by the ladies in our church) and we got in a visit and some cuddles. :)
 Stephanie
 Kayla
Marissa :) I just didn't get a picture of Mia holding Laura.
Thankful for friends.

Slow Down...

Amazing to think that this little girl has already been with us for three weeks!
Slow down little girl!!
Mommy is trying to soak you in. So I'm holding you lots, even as I type, breathing in your clean-baby-scented-hair, and kissing your sweet head...
Trying to savour  the moments...

O Christmas Tree

 
Our Christmas Tree.
