I am really excited because this is Isabela’s first Christmas which made me get to thinking…… what would it have been for Mary? This child was born to her and she knows that this baby is the son of God. Having a baby is an amazing and wonderful blessing but how much more would it be knowing that you child will be saving people’s lives!

Isn’t it crazy how much we worry about decoration’s and all that jazz when the first Christmas took place in a stable. There were no decorations! No fancy food’s. There was stinky animals, hay, and stable.

It makes me have such a respect for Mary. All the pain of going through labor plus being in a stinky place. I feel so blessed with what God has given to us at this Christmas time! My baby is such blessing. I wonder just like Mary most likely did on that night, what will this child do for our wonderful creator!

I pray that God continues to care for everyone in this season no matter where they are!

It so amazing how quickly six months can go by. Bela has been growing so quickly before my eyes. She is sitting up on her own now and she trying to stand up on her. I love being able to be home with her and watching her discover new things in this big world we live in.

Right now I have a little bit of cold so I would like to ask for prayers to get over it. Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts.

Okay, I have to say I love the boss of my job! I love thinking that God is such of great boss to have of my life and he teaches me how to be a great Mommy!
He has given me a whole book full of advice on how to raise my child!.“My Lord has wisdom like that of an angel of God—he knows everything that happens in the land.” 2 Samuel 14:20

My boss is also there whenever I need to talk to him! “come to me all who are weak and heavy and burdened” Mathew 11:28

I just think about people complain or whine about there boss, I can’t do that my Boss is perfect! I just hope that others who read this and remember who there boss is and because I remember who is mine!

Today Bela, Catrina, Mom, a friend from church and I went to the Minnesota Zoo! Bela of coarse posed a lot! I found out today that she really loves watching dolphins!

She also enjoyed climbing (with mommies help) in the land o lakes jungle gym( thank you grandma Karen!)

Overall it was a fun and tiring day for Bela!

This weekend was some friends of ours(from Bethany) wedding. The bride actually asked Rob to cook for the wedding so he was really excited for that! Well when we got there we found out the help that Rob was getting for cooking wasn’t coming until half an hour before the serving time so I was in the kitchen too! It was a lot of work and a lot of chicken! we cooked so much chicken so I’ve decieded not to look at chicken for a month. It all went once we were done!

Then there was the ride home! I never mentioned this but the wedding was in Wisconsin. So going there it was a five hour drive. Coming back…. Eight and half hours!!

These last two day we have recuperating from this long weekend!
