Van Car
One of the things we do every Sunday in the course of worshipping God is sing the Doxology:
How come? Because in the process of acquiring what Adeline calls a "van car," we received a very concrete reminder that all blessings really do flow from God and that he deserves our praise and thanks for them. We were able to trade our faithful little Corolla for a van of approximately the same vintage, in one trip, a year sooner than we ever thought, without a payment, for much less money than expected, without any kid meltdowns during the two-hour negotiating/paperwork process. Amazing.
(And yes, we rewarded our big girl, not to mention ourselves, with a donut--another blessing from the same source.)
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;One of the things that scares me to think about is the prospect that these will simply be words we repeat rather than truths we actually believe--dead religion rather than true faith. Hopefully, yesterday will be one of the ways God inoculates us against such a disease.
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

The Farm Show 2013
Donuts, chocolate ("Adeline can Daddy have a sip of that milkshake?" "Nope."), cousins, pigs, and the bus. Sophia slept through it all and Adeline enjoyed it enough for the both of them.

Benchers
Adeline likes to go on adventures (pronounced "benchers") on Saturdays with Daddy. Last Saturday we went to the bakery and got a snowman cookie. Today we went to Lowe's for Mommy and then picked up a purple cookie at the bakery.

Pretty dresses and Santa hats
In other words, our best attempt at photos of both girls together...
 | |
| Adeline, could you give Sophia a kiss? Sure Mommy, I'll hold on to her neck while I do. I don't like this Mommy! |
 |
| Mommy, I told you I don't like this. Its only slightly better if you stick a pacifier in my mouth. Adeline, can you smile? Ok, Mommy, this is the best you'll get. |
 |
| A break outside. |
 |
| Hullo cars! |
 |
| I STILL don't like this Mommy! |
 |
| New outfit, much better. |
 |
| If my daddy knew what you were doing Mommy... |
