Posted by Anna "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." ~ Isaiah 9:6 ~ Christmas Morning Gathered to read the Christmas Story After breakfast, we all gathered around in the living to read the "Christmas Story". But Papa took it farther than just reading the story... He brought into light some historical records of the surrounding political situations that were taking place; what the whole country of Rome and Israel, as well as a few other nearby countries were going through; and then what the people themselves were facing at that time, which brought us right into the account of Joseph and Mary at the time adjacent to Jesus' birth. It made the account reading come to life in a different way, a way that is not quite so foreign to our day in time...

By Anna The day started with a bang as Charity celebrated her 13th birthday on Thanksgiving day this year! We are so thankful for her and the bright addition she is to our family! She is quite rapidly emerging into womanhood and is developing beautifully in the kitchen! She is a great hostess and  has the knack for finding good deals in shopping which is a big blessing for this family! Gardening has become a favorite and she dreams of someday living on a farm :)  We Love You, Charity! A Trip to Texas On Thanksgiving day we were able to travel down to Texas to visit Mama's sister and her family. Her parents and her brother with his family all congregated there as well. The crew peering out of their respective riding vessels :) Why two?? Well, "In this house lives our big family...there's always room for one more!" But now that seatbelt laws have been in place for 25+ years, a vehicle has it's limits. Therefore we take two since we all can't...
