Nothing Ventured - Nothing Gained

Today was a lovely day.
We started off the morning attending church and enjoying the sermon about salvation - such a precious gift.
When we got home we realized we only had an hour left before we had to leave to attend our nieces birthday party.  To be honest we were dreading it a bit - I mean who wants to drive an hour for an hour long party and then have an hour long drive home on a Sunday before starting the work week?
The roads were a bit slick still but we tried to "ignore" that.
We went and had a FABULOUS time!  We were so glad we went.  We had a great time socializing with family and sharing in the celebration of our nieces birthday...she's 10 already...I can't believe it!
Definitely a time of gain!

December 2nd

Wow - I can't believe it is December 2nd already!  Has time really gone by this quickly?
Eloise stood up on her own last night - she was eating goldfish and just staring at me as though she was saying, "Yeah what of it?!?!" It was cute!
