THE PATS DID IT!!! 16-0, BABY!! What a game. It was an interesting night at our house, with both the Pats/Giants game and the Alamo Bowl (Aggies vs. Penn State) being televised simultaneously. So Matt watched the Aggies on the living room tv, and I watched the Pats in the bedroom. Though in support of… Continue reading Perfection in Pigskin

SC meets JC
The past few Sundays, Cottonwood Creek has been sharing these videos as part of their “A Simple Christmas” series. While I’m not sure exactly how they’re connected to the sermon notes, I do have to say they make great entertainment! And so, I give you, “Miracles”: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LHujSq_suI&feature=related[/youtube] And now, “Jesus vs. Santa”: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1Jk5iwvUsY&feature=related[/youtube] You’ll have… Continue reading SC meets JC

Every Day is a Great Day!
This happy thought comes courtesy of my son, Trey. While I was putting him to bed a couple of nights ago, right after we said prayers, he came up with this: T: “Hey, mom, did you know that every day is a great day?” M: “Really? Why is that?” T: “Okay, Monday I don’t have… Continue reading Every Day is a Great Day!

Thoughts from The Big Guy
We were seen with The Big Guy!! Last Friday was our annual trek to Stonebriar to see the world’s greatest Santa. Real hair, real beard…he’s the Real Deal. And he takes his job seriously. Last year, we brought notes to Santa, but he told us to take them home and leave them out for him… Continue reading Thoughts from The Big Guy
“Cross”-examination: Cottonwood Creek (and a little Grace Bible Church)
I neglected to do a “cross”-examination last week, not because we didn’t go to church (we did, and we have the pictures to prove it!), but rather because the church we attended isn’t really a serious option for us. We didn’t even fill out visitor cards. Since my brother David was in town, we joined… Continue reading “Cross”-examination: Cottonwood Creek (and a little Grace Bible Church)
Little (Gingerbread) House on the Prairie
This was my second official foray into the world of gingerbread house making. Last year, we made an honest attempt that turned out to be nothing short of disaster. My children still remind me of that debaucle regularly. Bless their little hearts. Little do they know what kind of blackmail I am storing up for… Continue reading Little (Gingerbread) House on the Prairie
Sunday Evening QB (a.k.a. Can’t-Wait-for-Monday Morning QB)
It’s been awhile since I did a sports post. I’m suffering withdrawal and today was just too great of a day of football to wait until Monday morning. Besides, the only games that counted were played today anyway. (And to my dear friend Angie: my apologies. You WILL be lost on this post. I am… Continue reading Sunday Evening QB (a.k.a. Can’t-Wait-for-Monday Morning QB)
Not the Queen of Free, but the Princess of “Almost”
If Angie is the Queen of “FREE”, then I am the Princess of “ALMOST.” First, a confession. I am NOT a bad mother. Just because my daughter complained months ago that her Hello, Kitty boots were too small and I made her wear them today and she got blisters within an hour of putting them… Continue reading Not the Queen of Free, but the Princess of “Almost”
