We are upon the Holiday Season! Seems we stay busy with our weekly schedule and try to use the weekends to spend some much needed quality time as a family and extra rest and relaxtion. There are some days and some weeks that are very challenging and I have trouble keeping up with all I have to do, continue to have strength to fight the depression that wants to destroy me, and doing my best to be a good mom and wife. I make sure I do my best to make time to pray and rely on God through it all. I am thankful for my family and enjoy making memories with them.
Gabby just brought home her first report card. She ended up getting 9 A's and 1 B plus. We are very proud of her. She got a music award in school and we made a certificate for her for her grades from us. It is definitely a challenge to continue to help her develop good habits and be supportivie at home. Our goal this marking period is to focus on slowing down and taking pride in her work. She is a very smart girl!
This week we started decorating and getting ready for the Christmas season. We were able to start the weekend by stopping by and visiting Santa. Martin the Elf came back as well to watch them and report back to Santa every night. It will be exciting to see them come down stairs each morning and try to find where his new place is.
Julio put lights out and we put a Nativity seen up in front of the house that my dad made. I'm very proud of his work :) He does such great work and has such a talent!
Finally, we went and picked out our tree and decorated it. It was fun to watch the kids decorate it and look at all the ornaments that have such fond memories attached.
I am struggling a lot right now, but I'm thankful for all God has blessed me with. I'm thankful for Gabby and Tyler, even though some days they drive me nuts! :) I'm thankful I have a wonderful husband and a great marriage. I trust in God that he will bring me through and has good things in store for me. I will continue to pray and try and be still as I wait.
