Ordinary Days...


 We had a fun and busy weekend.  We cleaned up after our decorating day on Friday, we hosted several families on Sunday afternoon into the evening.  All four girls went to stay at our friends house, with their daughters, while the parents went on a short anniversary trip and their sons were on a hunting trip with their granddad.  

Yesterday, I went to breakfast with my men (that live at home), did a bit of shopping, and then came home to make some Christmas gifts.  

Today, my younger girls are home with their friends, and Lindsay and Emily are at work.  There is baking going on, friendship being shared, and lots of happy smiles.


I also did a bit of knitting...


And a bit of gift wrapping...

 
 Nothing earth shattering going on here, just the beauty of ordinary days...

  6. Ordinary days are what give us the rest and strength we need to get through the extraordinary days!

    I felt the need to spend some time in blogland. I think I've been gone too long.

  8. Ahhhhh, I love ordinary days...the stuff of life. I love Mondays, and rainy days, and stay-at-home days. Sometimes I think that I can hear God's voice more clearly during the quiet of ordinary days.
