He who fears the Lord has a secure fortress and for his children it will be a refuge.

Day 128

December 20, 2018

Naomi had a few friends over after school to make Christmas cookies...


I'm not mad at Leo anymore for destroying my tree lights...

These two solving all the world problems...


Day 127

December 19, 2019

Exam week can be exhausting, even with big sis home...

Even with this background noise...


Day 126

December 18, 2018

Been waiting for Abs to get home to decorate the tree.  Better late than never.  And also, I managed to take almost zero pics...  


But it really did happen...  Tis the season!

Day 125

December 17, 2018

Been counting down to this day!  Abbey gets home today!!

Getting ready with some of her faves...

Buying some snacks...

"for Abbey"...

Happy happy happy!

Day 124

December 16, 2018

Today was called "lets see how many things the animals can do to annoy the heck out of mom..."

This really does get old EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO FIND A SHOE...


And since putting lights on the Christmas tree is my favorite activity on the planet, Leo decided to show through the cord at the base so that none of the lights would come on and I had to buy more AND put them back on the tree! 

No cute animal pics today!

Day 123

December 15, 2018

More traveling around our home with visiting friends.  Love that we are just hours away from one of the 7 Wonders of the World.  A trip to Petra is always amazing and this was Anabelle's first time.  



Never disappoints...




Someone always has to climb to the edge and scare mom to death!





And guess what we discovered?  If you stay too long at the high place of sacrifice and then hike up to the monastery, you may be the last people in the park and have to hike out in the pitch black to the light of your 7 year olds "light up Sketchers" .  Pretty amazing place to be after dark though!


Day 122

December 14, 2018

A day of tourist spots with first time visitors to Jordan.  Love that way have such easy access to all these places!!


 Started the day hiking up to Machaerus- the site of Herod's castle overlooking the Dead Sea where John the Baptist was beheaded. 





Lots of rocks to climb and beautiful views!

Ended the day with sunset over Mt Nebo.  Pretty much perfect!
