Today I am starting this blog. Not so sure what this will look like. I really enjoy working on Jona's website, but would like to have a more family oriented site in addition to hers. I hope this will be a great place to put thoughts. We are getting ready for Christmas. The girls are getting so big I cannot believe it. Jona is doing well. We go for a MRI on the 15th of this month and I pray that it will give us some positive results. Updates and such on Jona can be found on her website, www.jonasjourney.com.

I have started doing precept bible studies. Wow...I absolutely have to blog about this because I never would have imaged learning like this. It is different than any other bible study. I am learning so much and am also having to independently think so I really enjoy it. It is very time consuming. I am currently doing two different ones. I am studying Ruth with a friend of mine and Jeff and I together are studying Abraham with some wonderful people that we met through our Sunday School Class (or Connection Group) at church. What a blessing it has been to find these studies. I would like to start this type of study with Jona perhaps in January after I become more confident in it.

I started crocheting yesterday. My friend, Paula, taught me. At first I picked on her saying she was a "Granny" then I jumped into it with her. I guess that makes me a "Granny" too. Jeff loves that I have taken up yet another hobby. I am still working on my scrapbooking. I love that. I need to work on getting Mam-Maw's pictures together for her.

Jeff left today and will be in DC this week. I miss him when he is gone but at least I have a lot of time to catch up on my hobbies. The girls have their crafts they like to do as well after homeschool work is done. It is nice to sit and do crafts by the fire on a cold day.
