It's The New Year!

And we're off running!

We spent New Years at my sisters house popping fireworks, we have fun watching the kids light them and then screaming at them to run as soon as there is a spark, this year Jordan and Christian got the award for panicking the most... TJ has pretty much been the one who cracks us up the most until these two... and yes, we can still get TJ he just didn't pop as many because his friend were there and he knew what we were going to do...

It was a nice relaxing evening which is exactly what we wanted.

The momo had been in Houston for the past week with her brother Ruben who was not doing well, he passed away New Years morning, I am so glad she stayed and was able to spend that time with him. Please keep her and the rest of the family in your prayers. We'll be headed to the rosary and Funeral the next few days so stay safe and God Bless everyone!

I wanted to share something and completely forgot about it in my last post. I had to take Momo to return something at Wal-mart the day before Christmas, I waited in the car while she was in there and a man walked out, I could tell by his clothes he was homeless, he was wear a womans coat and it was very cold, he looked scraggly and the heels on the backs of his shoes had been cut out because they were too small for him, in his hand he carried a Wal-mart bag with a box of chocolates... A gift, for someone very special... I felt choked up and didn't know what to do, I wanted to go and ask him where he was going... but I had Noah asleep in the back seat... my heart ached because I couldn't help thinking about where he would spend Christmas and wondered who was so very special that he bought that gift from what he didn't have to give it to them with his whole heart.... and I prayed, that they loved him and showed him love for the gift that he presented them... a true Christmas gift.... and I felt so ashamed of all the worries that I was holding in my heart that seemed so insignificant now...

Be grateful for the blessings you have, look at the good in your life and most importantly...be a blessing to others.
