I'll Be Home for Christmas....

No pictures, no frill, no fluff -- just a heartfelt post declaring my intentions for Christmas! I'll Be Home for Christmas! I have only two days left to work before my full break begins and I plan on being HOME for the whole vacation. What a joy that will be to be in my beautiful home, with my wonderful family all here and enjoying the blessings we have been given. Of course, Dad and I will be going out and obtaining signatures for the incorporation, which the committee is trying to have completed by January 7th in order for it to be filed by January 14th. But that is home -- Woodland -- our beautiful little town where the cottonwoods grow plentifully along the rushing river and the cows moo contentedly in the meadows. Woodland -- where the barbed wired fences may be tied together in a few places with baling twine or propped up with tree branches, but where Zeke and Bella can chase the magpies, foxes and deer if they feel like it. Woodland -- where my parents live in their warm, little home, still in love with each other and supporting each other through their challenges. I love this place!
The Christmas Concert turned out exceptionally inspirational! Once again, blessed by the pure love of our dear Redeemer and a very loving Father, the choir, the strings, the soloists, the narrator, the sound, the decor -- the whole event was absolutely heavenly! We were able to truly experience a real "Christ"mas from the heart....and soul. It was wonderful!
I'll see you all this weekend. Do be so careful coming "home" to us and we are eagerly watching and waiting for you!

The Best Christmas Present Ever.....

!
Dad says it is time for our little babies to start eating real food and time for us to find them a new home. I objected, of course! He, however, did not let me get away with that. They now come out of the garage and snoop around. They act like they are ferocious watch dogs and bark at you! Giselle loves them and wants one, but I don't think that's what Santa had in mind!

Poor Bella--when they do come out of the garage, if she is anywhere in sight, they run to her and try to nurse. You can see how loving and patient she still is, but you can also see in her eyes that she is getting tired of the whole scene.

We loaded up the two little girls and took them to Billie Jo's to have their picture "professionally" taken, so Giselle could make up some advertisements and we could see if we can begin giving them away.

Mia immediately came and picked them right up and loved them. I don't think Ellie ever got close enough to hold one!

Giselle was never one to turn down a puppy and she played "eskimo kisses" with one of the little girls.
Tess finally came and got a hold of one. These little puppies are darling and each one of them needs a very good home. Help us out and see what you can do! "Ruf - Ruf!"
