Today has been a busy day-I feel like sleeping...truly...but I have about 2 1/2 dozen homemade meatballs browning in the oven, so press onward I must.
Today at around 5:00am, a friend of mine dropped off her three children for the day as they had to travel to Philidelphia to a hospital. The kids were wonderful, as usual, and were a delight to have over. I am so very impressed with the obvious affection of the siblings toward one another and look forward to seeing such love blossom in my own children as the years progress.
I must say, I think that January is the month for sunrises here! You will probably tire of my sunrise shots, but I can't stop taking them. Because the children were here (they are a bit older), as I noticed the sun's first pink rays I JUMPED up, ran to my coat and on my way out the door I said, "Katie-I am going to take a few pictures-watch Corynn! Megan and Ian-if you want to come-you had better get coming!" With that I jogged to the clearing to snap this photo. They eventually caught up with me and we stood there for a few minutes, taking in the quiet beauty of the morning. What a great start to the day!
Still haven't done the grown up gingerbread houses OR taken down Christmas decorations. But we DID get Mattie's 'new' $300.00 truck! Hurrah for having a vehicle at my disposal! To celebrate, I may go grocery shopping in the middle of the day tomorrow! :-)
I just found your blog - led here because you were "blog of the month"! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI was looking through your posts and you are SO photogenic. Don't let random pictures lead you to believe you aren't. Your post from 12/26(?) is so beautiful.
I am a SAHM of 4 beautiful children - 21- year-old daughter, 18-year-old son, 12-year-old daughter and 8-year-old daughter. We also homeschool. My two oldest are now in college, with my oldest in her first apartment. I have homeschooled for the past 14 years or so.
I love reading your adventures. I will keep visiting your site and praying for you and your family. You have beautiful children and obviously a very loving husband. Keep up the good work and have a happy and blessed New Year.
Thank you Gena-and it is a pleasure to 'meet' you! I look forward to your visits-and hope that when I am in my occasional 'homeschool freak-out' (since I was not brought up that way...), you will be willing to pipe up with some of your expertise-because I will surely need it! :-)
ReplyDeleteHave fun shopping during the day tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca~
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time here too(again, thanks to Peggy's highlight!) I have really enjoyed your posts and the photos are wonderful. I love that sunrise...absolutely breathtaking!
Planning to be back often,
Sommer
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! There can never be too many dawn photos.
ReplyDeleteEspecially since our view of dawn is almost non-existant. Due to terrain and trees and the like. I never see the horizon, as you can. Just the colors, higher up. Which of course, are pretty too. But muted.

We too, are blessed with beautiful sunrises. I find myself filled with a new hope each morning when God blesses me with a new day. Thank you for your beautiful pictures.
