End of November and Our Ninth Foster

Our ninth foster (and first adult)

Quincy (aka Mr. Tiddles) was the hugest cat we'd ever seen! He was front paw declawed and highly desired. Not even with us for 48 hours and  was scooped up into his loving forever home!

Jesse Tree

Making ornaments for the Jesse Tree ornament swap

Celebrating the start of Christmas with the Marseille Girls

The Jesse tree is the family tree of Jesus. It goes back to the very beginning, to Creation, and traces His family through the Old Testament. It ends when He is born on Christmas day. A Jesse tree is a little like an advent calendar, except that it emphasizes the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. Like any advent countdown, the Jesse tree has one ornament per day. Unlike a calendar, though, the Jesse tree tradition focuses on a Bible story, a character, a devotion each day. 

Over the four weeks we will read about kings and common people, about widows and children and brave fighters, the great and wonderful things that God orchestrated on our behalf, and then we will rejoice in His birth on Christmas Day!

Puke Attack

After Thanksgiving Carter woke up in the middle of the night throwing up. 

The Morgans hit the road and got the heck out of town before the germs spread!

Tough Day

The day after Thanksgiving we decided it was finally time to clean out mom's closets. It had been over three years but none of us could stand the thought of going through all her stuff. Dad had been dating Cathy for a while though and life was moving forward so we finally got the courage to sort through the remainder of the clothes and bring it to charity.

So thankful for these sweet sisters who weather this storm together side by side.
