Violin Recital


I can't believe Jeremiah had his first recital today! He is growing up so fast! It was a very hectic day, but we made it! We went to church this morning, rushed home, ate, and went to the recital. Then we rushed home to get the kids napped! Then we woke them up to go to church again! Poor things! Poor mommy & daddy! But we had a good day! Very exciting for JJ! Enjoy the pics!

    Pretty cool JJ. Poor mama and daddy is right. Sundays are the busiest day of the week for us usually too. Which makes me so sad. It really should be a day of rest. Maybe when the kids are 20, 22, 24, and 26...???

    I agree about Sundays!
    By the way, JJ looks like he was really playing a song, but he was playing one note the whole time! He knows all the notes for Twinkle Twinkle, but he is learning how to put it all together!

My Stress-Free Christmas List

After attempting to take Christmas photos with a dead camera battery, we tried again the next night and got this sweet one, among others! Every Christmas I have to remind myself not to fall into the "Perfect Christmas" trap.  I have to focus on what is truly important and weed out the rest.  Here is my list to remind myself what's important: My Christmas List 1. It's okay to say no.  2. My kids aren't going to suffer if I don't make Christmas candy. 3. My house doesn't need to look like Martha Stewart or Pottery Barn. 4. I don't need to stress out so much about picking out the perfect gift.  It's the thought that counts. (right?) 5. No one is going to hate me if they don't get a Christmas card from me. 6. My super-mom status won't change if I don't make cut-out Christmas cookies. 7. I don't need to attend every Christmas show and activity in town. 8. It's okay to stay home and enjoy quiet evenings with my family. ...
