Last night it took me 30 minutes to clean the kitchen enough to BEGIN dinner. Jill and family leave tomorrow and then cleaning will follow. The washing machine hasn't stopped but there are still messes everywhere :)<br /><br />The photo collages of your dear family are just wonderful. So fun seeing each sweet face.

So heartwarming to see your adult children preparing the food...<br /><br />Benjamin looks so cute in that dog hat... and you know what, he really is your look alike!<br /><br />I'm also glad I don't have photo shop on my laptop... cause for me natural is best - just want to post pictures as I take them (except for a little cropping, and light adjustment here and there).<br /><br />The comic strip was a nice ending to your post!<br /><br />Year End and New Year blessings to you, dear blog friend.

That Benjamin never ceases to amaze me, Janette, a fine southern gentleman he is, and did I mention adorable, too?. <br />I have the afternoon off, (did I just say that?) So I am trying to catch-up on visiting here in blogland. We reluctantly took Susan to the airport this morning, she has arrived safely back home.

Real is better than anything faked, lumps, warts, wrinkles and gray hair are just the outside.<br /><br />As I have aged, I have come to terms with the changes in my body, knowing my soul is what really matters. My goal is not to obtain a fountain of physical youth, but to grow in God's grace. Wonderful post. I love your un-photo-shopped photos!Cecilia Marie Pulliamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155201232666678307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-18838293873132033592011-12-28T11:39:52.575-08:002011-12-28T11:39:52.575-08:00Dear Janette - Blessings to you and your beautiful...Dear Janette - Blessings to you and your beautiful family this Christmas week as we move into a very hopeful 2012! You are right - God has done great things this past year for me - my Grace and Humility walk - birthing something amazing! It seems to have all gelled together in the past few weeks and I am so excited. I'll be posting about it in January, but for a sneak peak go to www.constellationacademyhsrn.blogspot.com!!<br /><br />I will finally be able to return to my roots in teaching and learning from a Biblical foundation - targeting home schoolers and their families. The other women I know in whom the Lord has been doing a rushing work this past year have met - with me - at a destination where we - as one - finally saw this big thing God was doing and how He was preparing us. More on this coming up!<br /><br />Looking forward to peppering my walk with your sage insights! It has been a pure delight to know you this year - so much more the Lord has for us all!<br />Joy!<br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-38493712367957348292011-12-28T11:08:52.466-08:002011-12-28T11:08:52.466-08:00No photoshop needed here; the love shining through...No photoshop needed here; the love shining through makes everyone look beautiful....I love the way you did the collages....so neat.....<br /><br />Your comment meant to the world to me...you always seem to know just the right thing to say...blessings to you sweet friend...Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977147960900342156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-20714241920034449972011-12-28T09:48:40.588-08:002011-12-28T09:48:40.588-08:00I see love everywhere, and a beautiful family enjo...I see love everywhere, and a beautiful family enjoying it all!<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of these December days. 2012 is right around the corner and I am ready! :)<br /><br />xohttp://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-727284695231452672011-12-28T09:41:16.855-08:002011-12-28T09:41:16.855-08:00Your photos are a reflection of the love in your h...Your photos are a reflection of the love in your home and how very blessed you are to have such a beautiful family!
