“Mom, why don’t we have our Christmas things up?” “JDaniel, we are going to wait a few weeks until after Thanksgiving.”“The stores have theirs up!”I am not sure why Christmas things go up as soon as the Halloween displays come down. I love to celebrate Thanksgiving and then get ready for Christmas, but I found Christmas sneaking in earlier and Continue Reading

He has only just discovered that his pants have pockets so, he feels the need to keep them filled. Thankfully some of his treasures fall out of his pocket during the day.

Evening Meal Thanks Giving

By

I should probably pray with JDaniel before breakfast and lunch, but I haven’t started doing that with him yet. We do give pray before dinner. He has been reciting the same prayer every night for almost 9 months. It is very simple prayer. He just says, “Thank you, Jesus for our food.” Sometimes it is said with a mouth full of food. I really try to Continue Reading
