My Baby is 2!
Everyone says that children grow up fast... and with my third, it has gone faster and faster. Almost the blink of an eye. It seems impossible that it was two years ago that Eli was born. He has been and continues to be a precious gift wrapped up in a huge amount of energy! I love this little guy so much... my third baby that I really didn't think we would ever have. God is so very good!
For his 2nd birthday, we gave him a new set of ear tubes. Almost to the minute, two years later, the same Dr. that delivered him was giving him new tubes. Everything went very well and he just about back to normal now. We celebrated his birthday on Saturday with good friends and family. He loved his dinosaur cake. I'll be posting pictures soon. He was surrounded by most of his favorite people and he got to skype the next day with those who couldn't be with us. All of my children are blessed with many people who love them deeply, again, God is so very good!
Some of my favorite things about Eli lately... when he wants to be held he says, "Eli hold Mommy." He likes is "nuggle" time. He loves Christmas carols and likes to sing along. He is amazing at putting things together. I think he has some pretty good dance moves. He is happy. He gives slobbery kisses. He is 90% potty trained during the daytime. He adores his big sister and big brother. He has beautiful hair, just like his Daddy. He runs everywhere he goes. He likes to put his "Papa Ken" cowboy boots one all by himself. These are just to name a few.

Coffee with Wonder Woman
Tonight I am sipping coffee from my Wonder Woman mug... given to me by my wonderful Mom and Dad. I love this mug. It makes me smile. Sometime I wish I was Wonder Woman, but I'm not. I find that when I try to be, when I try to succeed in my own strength, I fail miserably. I was never meant to do it on my own. Instead, the joy of the Lord is my strength. He lifts me and carries me and gives my His strength. When I am resting in him, that is when something wonderful and amazing happens. Why can't I remember this all the time???

Here Comes Santa Claus
Waiting for Santa to arrive.
And here he comes... Palouse style!
It was very exciting to see Santa on an Appaloosa!
Eli kept calling the horse a donkey, silly boy!
Hannah was the only one who wanted to sit on Santa's lap... this is the first year she has wanted to.
Aaron surprised us this morning and took us to the Appaloosa Horse Museum for a fun morning with Santa! The kids loved it. They made cards, sat on saddles, sat on Shadow (Santa's horse), decorated horse shaped sugar cookies and ate yummy treats. It was a good morning on the Palouse!
