Project 365- My Week in Pictures

 

     

 

 

Well, it’s that time again in Louisiana for King Cakes!!  Yes, its Mardi Gras.  If you’re not familiar with the King Cake, its a New Orleans tradition that dates back to the eighteenth century.  It’s a type of cinnamon sugar French pastry, covered with vanilla icing, and topped with green, purple and yellow sugar crystals.  They also come filled with cream cheese, or raspberry, or my favorite, apple.  Yummy!

.

Had an awesome night of fellowship with my wonderful friend Cyndy and her husband Jim.  We were celebrating our annual Christmas dinner a little late this year.   It’s always a joy getting together with this special couple. 

After 29 years of friendship, we’re still going strong.  Thank God for good friends!

 

 

I gave this ornament as a Christmas present for my son Jordan.  He hung it up today and put it on his dresser.  This is the kind of Christmas gift that never has to be put up till next year.   Also, one of our favorite scriptures.

 

 

We had the most beautiful winter sunset on Thursday evening.  I went out just to enjoy and marvel at the handiwork of God.

 

 

Cole got on the carrousel at the mall and it was hard getting him off.  He kept wanting to go round and round.  I can’t get enough of this little boy.  He is just as sweet as the come.

 

 

Caught Kayla looking at herself in the shoe department.  She’s was practicing her smile for Grammy.  What a doll.

Our weekly photo challenge this week is “Smile”.  I could not resist this precious smile from my granddaughter Karli. 

I took this during the summer one weekend.

Healing is in your hands!

 

 

 

I recently heard this amazing song and wanted to share it with you today.

No matter where you are or what you may be going through, God is with you.  This promise brings so much comfort.  He is forever faithful and our lives are in His hands.

I pray this song will touch and minister to you right where you are today.

Project 365-My week in pictures

 

My husband took vacation for the last week of the year.  We started our day having devotions together.   It was so much fun having him home with me.

 

Went with my husband to a pre-surgery doctor’s appointment.  I’m glad I brought my camera with me.  I loved this poinsettia in the foyer of the building. 

 

My husband had hernia repair surgery.  I took this shot of him with my son not long after he was out of recovery and awake from the anesthesia.  He did amazing.  Not one single compliant.  Who said men are bad patients? 

 

 

Took the grands to play a game of mini golf.  They absolutely loved it.  I had such a great day with my little golfers.

 

 

Had the girls over for a few days since they were out of school.  We were on our way to have our nails done.  We brought the new year in later that night with lots of sparklers and roman candles.

 

 

We spent New Years’ Day at my husband’s sisters house.  All the cousins were together.  We had lots of good food, mountains of desert,  and we enjoyed getting caught up with all of the family we don’t get to see very often.   I’m still stuffed!

 

 

I love watching Cole play.  It’s been a long time since we’ve seen trucks and cars around our home.   He is all boy for sure. 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by! For more Project Life go here.

Mosaic Monday

 

 

I thought I’d join this neat meme called Mosaic Monday.  Hope you all enjoyed your holidays and are ready for this new year!

I took my grandchildren to play a game of mini golf the other day.  I loved Cole’s enthusiasm  as he played for the first time.  He has the cutest personality.

Please join us over at the Little Red House for more beautiful mosaics.

Giving it my best shot!

 

This week challenge at I ♥ Faces the theme is the Absolute Best Face Photo.  We were asked to share our very favorite face photo from 2010.

I choose this photo of my precious little granddaughter Karli.  We were out in the back yard  one afternoon when I took this shot. 

Normally she is very animated and active, but I caught her in this moment of looking serious. 

I love how engaging her beautiful eyes are in this picture.

The Gymnasium of the Soul!

 

 

 

Exercise daily in God—no spiritual flabbiness, please! Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever. You can count on this. Take it to heart. This is why we've thrown ourselves into this venture so totally. We're banking on the living God, Savior of all men and women, especially believers.   (I Tim. 4:7 The Message)

 

As we approach the New Year everyone is in the mood to make some resolutions.  What better time then now to decide that your highest priority will be to seek after Him with a greater zeal and determination then ever before!
