A Quick Post

I’m still here.  : D  Just laying low.  : )  I’ll post a bunch of photos from Christmas soon!  We had a wonderful Christmas.  : )  And, honestly, I’m kind of sad that it’s over.  ; )  It was SO MUCH FUN to have a two year old at Christmastime.  I have spent the past few days playing with Emma, cleaning up, enjoying the tree (it feels like I put it up three days ago!) and working on a few online projects.   I hope that you all had a wonderful, meaningful Christmas!  I will post again soon and maybe take the Christmas decorations down from my little bloggy.  ; )

May your Christmas be filled with JOY…and the peace that can only come from knowing the One who came as a babe and then dwelt among us to seek and to save the lost.

Our Christmas Card and a Sweet Revelation

chavezcardFTC

Our 2008 Christmas card...  Are you surprised?  ; D  The graphics are by Shabby Miss Jenn Designs.  The card was designed by me.  ; )

A sweet revelation... 

This week, I was strolling through Target with Emma in the cart.  She is my little chatterbox...always chit chatting or singing.  : )  That day at Target, out of the blue, she looked up at me and said, "Mama...I HAVE A MOM AN' DAD!!"  I was a bit surprised at what she had said...I wasn't surprised that she was able to say the words "Mom and Dad"...she has been able to say things like that for more than a year...I was just sweetly surprised with the meaning behind the words!  At first, I wasn't sure if she really understood the meaning behind what she was saying...but in the past couple of days, she keeps saying it here and there and exactly in context!  It blesses my soul to no end to know that my precious little girl KNOWS that she has a true family..."A MOM 'AN DAD"...who love her to the moon and back!

God bless,

Tera
