My adventures as a mom, a theologian's wife, and an ex-pat across the pond
Lizzie is definitely her own girl, but looking at her and enjoying her sweetness is like having Rebekah all over again! These are all of Rebekah and are almost to the day Lizzie’s current age (8weeks, just under 2 months). What do you think? Do you see a resemblance?
It’s so funny having grown up in the south, in the “Bible Belt,” and not being able to talk about Jesus at Christmas. Yet, here in Scotland, where not that many are professing believers, Rebekah and Luke’s public school teaches Jesus’ birth as the basis of Christmas. Both kids have come home talking about Jesus, His birth, the wise men, and singing Christ-centered carols. Crazy, right? I am delighted to say the least!
These are a handful of the 99 or so pics Josh took at Rebekah’s school program, the Wriggly Nativity. She got to be a sheep and loved preparing for the program the last few weeks.
Phyllis paired these cuties- so fun!
Josh is also amused by our girls’ ginormous baby eyes…{fun side note, Lizzie has those “mad toes,” as my brother dubbed them, too!}
My mom, the kids, and I headed out to see the Christmas lights get turned on in city centre- there are rows of them strung between the two sides of the street and tonight was the night they lit them up, complete with a fairly bizarre parade {including snow plows and random dancing figures, both religious and not at all}. Sweet Lizzie girl was such a trooper- she rode in my sling and drained a bottle while we were walking! She is such a good baby!
The pictures are really dark and not great from poor lighting, etc, but here they are:
My sister-in-law, Becky, asked me to get a picture of our 3 kids together. This is the best I could do…as well as a few others from today. :)
