*~*Snow, snow all around*~*

During the last week we have seen a good
foot and a half of snow, with more expected
over the weekend...Today, was actually warm
enough to play in it a bit while
waiting for the Santa Train.

*~*It's Beginning to LOOK a lot like Christmas*~*

Kathleen went to see Santa today...
She asked him for a Barbie's and a Barbie House.
She also wants a horse
with a dollie to ride it...

*~* YEHhhha*~*

Kathleen went to her first
horse riding lesson...
She was in heaven there...
The horse she rode was named Josie and
just as sweet and gentle as could
be...
Kathleen even rode all
by herself as fast as a trot...she loved
that.
Needless to say, Kathleen
wants to go back again
to ride another horse.
It was really special to
watch her in her element...

*~*A Tisket a tasket...a Witch's finger in a Basket...*~*

Kathleen and I made some fun and edible witch's fingers as a Halloween project... She had the best time popping off the fingernails and filling the socket with blood... They turned out goolishly gory...

My little one turns three officially on the 13th of October.
We celebrated her Birthday today with
family and friends...
Bounce houses, Barbie Jeep, Cupcakes...
and lots of fun and laughter...
Kathleen decided the menu...Spaghetti sauce,
meatballs, ceasar salad, french bread
and
princess cupcakes...
I made the cupcakes myself and thought
they turned out adorable and totally
tasty..
Here are some pics from the party...

*~*Your Hands*~*

I have unanswered prayers
I have trouble I wish wasn't there
And I have asked a thousand ways
That You would take my pain away
That You would take my pain away

I am trying to understand
How to walk this weary land
Make straight the paths that crookedly lie
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine
Oh Lord, before these feet of mine

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

When You walked upon the Earth
You healed the broken, lost, and hurt
I know You hate to see me cry
One day You will set all things right
Yea, one day You will set all things right

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave Your hands

Your hands
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still
Your hands that shape the world
Are holding me, they hold me still

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave You when...

When my world is shaking
Heaven stands
When my heart is breaking
I never leave...
I never leave Your hands

*~* Striking a Pose *~*

We went to the Starbucks at the Summit and
Kathleen couldn't help posing with
this little boy statue. We had a great time
hanging out and doing some "girlie"
stuff...

*~*There are*~*

some people who come into your life and break you apart...some help you discover...and some help you to heal....and once in a very rare instance you find that one special person who can do all of those things.

*~* I Can't Run...*~*

"October"

I can't run anymore,
I fall before you,
Here I am,
I have nothing left,
Though I've tried to forget,
You're all that I am,
Take me home,
I'm through fighting it,
Broken,
Lifeless,
I give up,
You're my only strength,
Without you,
I can't go on,
Anymore,
Ever again.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.

I can't run anymore,
I give myself to you,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry,
In all my bitterness,
I ignored,
All that's real and true,
All I need is you,
When night falls on me,
I'll not close my eyes,
I'm too alive,
And you're too strong,
I can't lie anymore,
I fall down before you,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.

Constantly ignoring,
The pain consuming me,
But this time it's cut too deep,
I'll never stray again.

My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love,
My only hope,
(All the times I've tried)
My only peace,
(To walk away from you)
My only joy,
My only strength,
(I fall into your abounding grace)
My only power,
My only life,
(And love is where I am)
My only love.
