Every morning this week Caroline could be found in her room "reading" the Bible. This is the Beginner's Bible Aaron's Aunt Sandra got her for her birthday. We've been reading it before nap time and bedtime every night, prior to saying prayers. She loves it. It warms my heart to see her loving the word, even though it's a children's version including pictures. I know this is just the beginning, a foundation, of the love of God's word we are working to instill in her. Heartwarming for a Mother.
Along with some of the other "younger" ladies from church, I hosted a Holiday Brunch last week for all the ladies from our church. We had a really good turnout and a lot of fun!
So, in preparation for this brunch, we removed Caroline's booster seat from her chair at the kitchen table. I needed all my chairs available, so I just intended to put it back once the brunch was over. However, I didn't get around to it that day and Caroline LOVED sitting at the table, without her chair, at supper that night. She loved it so much, and did such a good job, that we decided she no longer had to sit in it. *sniff* She's growing up so fast! So, Wednesday night, she's sitting in her chair like a big girl, and we're having corn on the cob as part of the meal. I cut some off the cob for Caroline...but she wanted to eat like a big girl.
It's seems so silly and small, but I can't believe she's eating corn off the cob! She loved it and I won't be cutting it off for her anymore. *sniff* It's the little things that make you realize how quickly life is flying by.
I have a new Christmas decoration this year that I'm really excited about!
Isn't it super cute? A friend made it for me as a surprise and I LOVE it!
Happy Christmas!
Awwww, Court! Caroline is so sweet. Where has the two years gone? I can still remember when you had her in the hospital and I called you on the phone and we cried. Seems like we just did that.
ReplyDeleteLook at you hosting a BRUNCH...call you Paula Dean. =) I loved seeing a pic of your Mom. Even though we didn't see them often in BG, I miss them just knowing they are not here (you too of course). Please give them hugs from La!
NO CHAIR AND CORN ON THE COB! Stop making her grow! Logan is still in his chair at home and no corn for him yet. I guess if Caroline is doing it, it's time for Logan to start. sniff
I love your new decoration. Your friend could sell those. ADORABLE!!!
I miss you guys. The first of the year we need to get together. I feel another vacation coming on about then...what do you say?
My love and hugs to AC and Caroline. Happy Holidays! 143

ReplyDeleteLooks like a great turn out for your brunch. I think you have the gift of hospitality!
Merry Christmas!
I love the new decoration!!!! Do I know who made it? It is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I have seen the pics on your wall and they look great up there, lol! Caroline is precious and I really don't know where the time goes either! Love you guys, Merry Chirstmas! You will probably get your card after Christmas, lol! I am still waiting for her announcements to get here so that I can mail out the cards I made at Seehere.com!
LOved Caroline's sweet smile on your card, it makes me smile everytime I look at it on the wall : )
