We just celebrated Soul’s 3rd birthday today. Praise Jesus for giving her and us another year together. In light of recent happenings to those close to us, I’m feeling even more grateful to God for every new day we all get together.

This week’s learned, links, and thanksgivings…

Glow is a funny little babbler. Oh and she LOVES brushing her teeth!

Soul was beaming so big this morning because she knew it was finally her birthday.

True’s definitely a little crafter. That girl is so resourceful in making things.

Totally want to make these baskets.

Inspired by Rachel’s zeal for Christmas decorating and her white Christmas tree. Seriously considering a white tree.

Misha Lulu’s little daughter is in this (The Grabbit) contest commercial. It’s so funny, so please vote for it! My girls keep asking to watch it over and over and over again.

Thankful that after losing my cellphone on February 16th, I finally have one again! YAY!!! Ben upgraded his iphone and I got his old one. Hello smartphone! Now, I can instagram (@rubyellenbratcher) on more than just from my ipad. HA!

Ben and I are addicted to The Walking Dead. We watched season 1, 2, and got caught up with 3 in two weeks. Right after 24, this is my favorite show. It’s so intense!

Thankful for the gloomy weather we have had lately. I love it!

Praise God that I survived taking all 4 girls to get their annual checkups together. It takes work to get them all out of the house, let alone a doctor appointment.

We still haven’t started decorating for Christmas. We better start soon because Christmas will be here before we know it. At least I’m done with Christmas shopping!!!
