This is a picture of the kids playing in the snow. They threw snowballs and built a snowman. My grandaughter Torrie and her friend Danny standing by the snowman she calls Frosty. Of Course.  It was a little too cold out to go play in it when it first snowed but we were fortunate enough for it to warm up  a couple of days later.They had a really good time. AND I got some great pictures for scrapbooking.

I hope everyone is planning a great Holiday. Please pray for all of those who do not have much.  I hope everyone is well. Please pray for those who are not. Me and my family have been battling colds, flu, virus’s and sinus infections. This has been a hard couple of months. I have gotten one of those one right after the other for the past has it is crazy do I hope this is the last time I catch something I really do not want to be sick for the Holidays. I have not been doing too many crafts either because if I have not been sick my girlfriend has or we just keep giving it to each other. I hope we can get some crafts done before the Holiday is over. We are working on a really pretty wreath but first we have to get well to finish it, then I can post a picture. The snow was a little much but I think it was really pretty out when it was snowing and then the day after but now it is just plain cold out. LOL! When the snow fell that day it covered my Bar B Q grill in a very odd way.  Here is the grill on my back deck that Tues it snowed. I call him my Snow Trooper. HA HA!!

This will be a hard year for alot of people for Christmas. I know we are having a smaller one than usual but I just want everyone to know that you are in alot of peoples prayers. To all those families who’s loved ones are over seas and those who cannot get to your loved ones because of the lack of money and the economy, hang in there hopefully with enough prayer everyone will be safe and taken care of.  I guess alot of people out there will find the true meaning of Christmas this year as they scramble to give as little material things and as much love as they have in their hearts. To all of you out there Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hang in there god is listening. Stay Safe.  Read more... (145 words, 2 images, estimated 35 secs reading time)

So not sure if we are going to be able to get in the pool yet today. It cannot decide if it wants to rain and storm out. I m trying to get pictures of Torrie in the pool jumping and swimming for my scrapbook album. I have a few but I am trying to get one of her in the air as she jumps off the ladder but you know those darn digital cameras and the delay, WELL! I have some of her on the ladder and some when she splashes in the water but I cannot get her just before the big splash lol! She was very patient with me when I had her jumping in to see if I could capture the moment but just couldn’t make it happen. But I will keep trying and when I capture that moment you will see it for yourself right here LOL! Enjoy your day.  Read more... (158 words, 3 images, estimated 38 secs reading time)

A child’s self esteem is built throughout the course of childhood. Although ultimately the child develops her own perceptions of self and builds her own self esteem, reinforcement from the outside world is crucial in fortifying the child’s self assessment.

Appropriate responses to the child support the child’s opinion of herself, “I think that I did a nice job completing this arts and crafts project.” “Yes, you did a terrific job completing your arts and crafts project. I can tell by the quality of the finished piece that you really put your all into it!”  Read more... (786 words, 2 images, estimated 3:09 mins reading time)
