It's no secret

I love the moon. I love all the phases. The brightness, the craters, the lines. Everything about the moon is refreshing. Renewing. Energetic. Enlightening.

Candle

So I was watching some of the updates and things about the Sandy Hook tragedy, and it was almost over, when my 7 year old son came into the room. They were listing off the names and had a candle in the background. My son turned to me and asked if we could light a candle for all the children lost and their moms and dads. I said yes, of course and did it right away.

So to all the little lives that were lost far too soon, and for all the parents and families that had to endure this Christmas Day and many more days like this to come, here is our candle for them.

Angel

This is the Christmas Angel that sits on top of our tree. My husband got it for me on our first Christmas together and I have loved it ever since. I really don't like some of the Angel's out there. They either look too creepy, or too baby-like. I just really like this one's face and the softness of the purples of her clothes. Anyhow..Merry Christmas to everyone!

I Love Georgia

I love Georgia. Where ever in the state you travel, you are sure to get a different view every time you look out the window. From city, to country sides, to pastures, to mountains, it's all a great view if you only open your eyes!

And So This Is Christmas..

"A very merry Christmas.
And a happy New Year.
Let's hope it's a good one.
Without any fear.
And so this is Christmas.
For weak and for strong.

For rich and the poor ones.
The world is so wrong.
And so happy Christmas.
For black and for white.
For yellow and red ones.
Let's stop all the fight.
A very merry Christmas.
And a happy New Year.
Let's hope it's a good one.
Without any fear."

-John Lennon

Our 2012 Christmas Tree. I love how my boys' always decorate the bottom. It reminds me that they are still little and I should always enjoy the little things and not be so worried about being "perfect" in anyone else's eyes but in my husband's and son's!

One last Fall picture

I love the Christmas is near, but I know that Fall is still in the air, and so are all the colors. This tree is in our front yard, and I just love the red that's on it! I'm a lover of reds, and browns and tans, any darker color really.

I loved taking some Fall pictures the last month, but I am ready to take some pretty Christmas ones.

The trees the lights and decorations, the smiles on my boys' face and the excitement in their voices and eyes, listening to them talk about their Christmas list and Santa...that's what Christmas is to me!

So enjoy one last Fall picture from Georgia!

Nothing new

Rarely, anything new happens to me. I'm a stay at home mom, with health issues, so I rarely get out and do things I would really love to do without pain interrupting it. So I'm pulling this from the vault. This is my youngest son's hands and feet when he was, I'd say, almost a year old. He'll be 6 March 2013, so wow..time really does fly!
