Our dog Tobias

Well... it is 1:45 a.m. Haven't slept yet tonight. My stomach hurts from coughing. I'm not that bad during the day but at night when I lay my head on that pillow it starts! Papa is sleeping so good tonight I don't want to keep him awake. I avoided taking Nyquil again because I didn't want to be groggy.... finally gave in 20 minutes ago.... so if this starts to not make sense... you either won't notice or it is the medicine. lol At least my tree is pretty at night!
I don't have lots to say. Not much going on.... cleaned in my room and stuff today. I can talk about my baby boy! Toby cracks me up. He is the best company during the day. Here is a picture of him looking out the window for papa. Notice he is stepping on the clock/radio. Papa had to fix the time. haha!
I think this cold weather is getting to him. When he goes out he has figured out a quick way in... get my attention! So he will lay at the door so his toe nails hit the metal of the doorway and I hear it. He is pretty smart! But I think he is bored lately. Here he is tearing up his Santa (again). Papa keeps sewing it but it is almost beyond hope.
Now he's taken up watching the news! Not sure why.... I think he would prefer a cooking show or the Dog Whisperer.... but nope!

Today Jordan plays her instrument in the mall.... Christmas songs! I need to sleep to be ready to go! It should be good. It was last year. We actually have a pretty restful weekend coming up. I am looking forward to it!

Our church was on the news yesterday! You can see the inside and outside of our church and our friends Pastor Paul, Kristina and Bri talk to the reporter!

Our friend, Cindy Lou in Georgia just got word her son may be on his way to Afghanistan. Please keep him i your prayers.... but I think mama is going to need it the most.

Well.... starting to type with my eyes closed. So, I best go!

I did want to share this song with you... our kids sang it at church and did an amazing job!

It only takes a spark to get a fire going.
And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing.
That's how it is with God's love,
Once you've experienced it,
You spread His love to everyone;
You want to pass it on.

What a wondrous time is spring, when all the trees are budding;
The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming.
That's how it is with God's love;
Once you've experienced it,
You want to sing, "It's fresh like spring",
You want to pass it on.

I wish for you my friend, this happiness that I've found.
You can depend on Him, it matters not where you're bound.
I'll shout it from the mountain top,
I want the world to know;
The Lord of love has come to me,
I want to pass it on.

I hope you enjoy your weekend.... here is my memory picture of me and oldest brother Rick when I was 2. He didn't want to give me too much room, did he. lol!
