Looking back over the year has been memorable... 

Our family has had many blessings and many wonderful things happen.

We have also had some difficult things happen.  Let's be honest, life is hard.

The one true thing that keeps us grounded and focused is Christ steadfast love for his people.

I have tried to keep Him at the center of my life and to keep loving and serving my family and people that He puts around me.

Happy New Year and 

Many Blessings!

I can't believe I am almost done with another 365. 

This time of year I always wonder if I am going to do it again.

Anyone else planning on doing the 365 again???

It does make me shoot more.  Not sure if I am improving or not.  It can be fun.

What are your thoughts?

Blessings,

Kim

Merry Christmas!

It has been so busy…

Trying to keep up with my photos but it has been hard.

Also trying to keep my joy during this busy season.

If I can just keep my focus on my Jesus.

Jesus.  

Just keep focused.

We have had a fast few weeks….

My parents came down for Thanksgiving…

It was so nice to have them close.  I love living here but I truly miss being close to my family.
My daddy is getting old…  and I hate not being close.
I try to get out there as much as I can and it is a quick flight but it is not the same.

The first two pics are from our beach trip the day after Thanksgiving.
The next three are from our antique shopping day and the last four are from the park by our house and our backyard.
We have had some rainy weather.  It has been a treat for us since California has been in a drought.

On to my blessings..
I am still counting…

931. Time with my daddy…
932. Whirlwind week…
933. School changes coming up…
934. Christmas cards done…
935. And mailed out…
936. Five Christmas parties last weekend!
937. Wow!
938. Teen activities..
939. Not one present purchased and I am not worried…
940. Finishing Genesis and continuing with Psalms…

Blessings,
Kim
