Time Flies

I can't believe it's been so long since I've blogged! Sorry!

We went to Big Bear last weekend to get our fill of winter. It was SOOOOO fun! We actually rented a teeny, run-down cabin, kicked back on Friday evening, went skiing on Saturday (it was Carlos' first time!!), and we were blessed with snow actually falling while we were there. The kids woke up on Sunday to see snow falling. They raced outside and played in the snow for a couple of hours. Then we packed up and went on a hunt for chains. By the time we left (around 1:00 p.m.), the kids were beginning to realize that snow is not just fun and games, lol! They were complaining about the cold and wind--and, frankly, they were just a bit scared that the car would crash.

Here's just a few pics to share:

This is us (minus the "photographer", lol!) at the ski resort grabbing a bite of breakfast before the L-O-N-G process of buying tickets (that included lessons!), and getting skis, poles, and boots in time for our lesson. We had a blast!


These are some pics of the kids sledding down these tiny hills made by the snow plow outside our cabin on Sunday morning.

And here's what I've done as far as layouts of our mini-vacation:


That's a photo of the cabin we stayed at.

and that background photo is the ski resort we went to (yes, I know, bad grammar, but ... oh well!).

HOW FUN!! I love that we live close enough to winter/snow we can make a quick trip up there when we want a 'real' wintertime! So glad you had snow falling while you were out in it. The pictures really show how much fun you guys did have!!

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

Feb Year In Review Layouts

By
Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big pi...
