Happy December

Wow, I did it! I missed I few days here and there, but for the most part, got the month of November covered. Amazing how it flew by too!

Well, December 1st is here and the festivities start. I hope all of you have a wonderful month filled with friends and laughter and that you take some time to stop and remember the reason and meaning of it all. Which makes me remember the title of my blog....Save Your Fork....remember that something better is coming. After the meal you save your fork so that you can have dessert. There is an eternity after this, and just as November flew by in a flash our lives are going to fly by and we are going to leave this earth to meet our maker. So, Save Your Fork....

Our finite minds cannot begin to imagine what eternity will be like. Just imagine the beautiful scenery on this earth, the amazing sunsets, the most imaginative animals, the white pristine beaches with amazingly clear blue water, the grand canyon at sunrise....so many amazing things here on earth, it is hard to imagine that anything could be better. But that is nothing for a God who spoke it all into existence! Wow! I can't wait for dessert! :-)

Oh, it will be a nice day when I don't have to change or buy diapers anymore. I would be curious to know how much I have spent and will spend on diapers, although I am sure if I found out, I would be sick. So I will just remain ignorant and blissful and be thankful for these land-fillers that make my life easier. (sorry to those of you who are environmentally conscious) Our friends in India couldn't afford to use diapers, so it made me aware of how I take SO many little things for granted.

Dirty Eggs....

This is such a gross thing that is a reality in most of the world except the U.S. Some people wash their eggs before they use them, but in our house, where time is precious....we just leave 'em with skids. :-) Another thing to be thankful for when in the U.S., clean eggs and quality standards.

Not such a great pic, but Caleb got one of me putting up the Christmas tree. I don't think I have ever gotten a Christmas tree up so early. In fact, I think this is only the second year I have actually even put up a tree. But now everyday the boys are asking if Christmas is going to be tomorrow. I now understand the reason for advent calenders. :-)

Our beautiful tree.

We took a walk downtown today to get out of the house. Here is sergeant Caleb and his faithful sidekick Judah. Caleb found these matching shirts in a box of clothes that we got from their cousins in TX. (Thank you!!!)

Who needs a double stroller? This is nothing, you should see Caleb and Judah sit on each other's laps in our umbrella stroller.
