I wanted to share the following song with all of you. It spoke to me beyond compare. I often worry about being perfect. Are my photos good enough for this blog. Does everyone have to be smiling all the time? This song reminds me to look to Jesus for everything! Thankyou for reading our real life blog. We love sharing it with you! I hope this song speaks to you.

"Sacred" by Caedmon's Call

this house is a good mess
it's the proof of life
no way would I trade jobs
but it don't pay overtime

I'll get to the laundry
I don't know when
I'm saying a prayer tonight
cause tomorrow it starts again

could it be that everything is sacred?
and all this time
everything I've dreamed of
has been right before my eyes

the children are sleeping
but they're running through my mind
the sun makes them happy
and the music makes them unwind

my cup runneth over
and I worry about the stain
teach me to run to you
like they run to me for every little thing

when I forget to drink from you
I can feel the banks harden
Lord, make me like a stream
to feed the garden

wake up, little sleeper
the Lord, God Almighty
made your mama keeper
so rise and shine
rise and shine cause

everything is sacred
and all this time
everything that I've dreamed of
has been right before my eyes.

A Very Happy Birthday!!!

My dear sister Laura suprised me with a wonderful suprise lunch. For those of you who know me well, you know that my favorite restaurant is Pagliaccis in Victoria B.C. I have been missing their food like crazy! Laura made me the most amazing lunch. She started off with an amazing salad, full of chickpeas and veggies. My favorite salad dressing went right along with it, yogurt dill. Hemmingway Short Story was the pasta dish. This was full of rich cream, bacon, tortelini, cheese etc. You get the picture. The bread was delicous as well. My favorite part of the meal was the dessert. Turtle pie in all it's glory was devoured by us all. Laura is so talented in the kitchen as well as many other areas. Thankyou again for your wonderful gifts dear sister!

The Heathers come to visit!

I recently had the pleasure of having two of my greatest friends come for a visit. Heather Brasset and Heather Brown (Nee Newstead)have been my friends since I was 8 years old. Heather Brown brought her little boy Trenton. He is exactly one year younger than Levi. They were both born on Dec.16. I really needed this visit from these wondeful girls who know me soooooo well. Enjoy the pictures.

Trenton loved uncle Lee!
Heather and I LOVE SNOW. It snowed here in Calgary the night before the Heather's had to leave. We all ran out screaming with delight. Heather was smart to put on her parka, where I ran out in my t shirt.
