Graying even." I was thinking, paired with the glasses, "very smart, like someone who belongs on a college campus--which is I guess where you are." (Between you and me Shorel, Kurt is just jealous...we all know he couldn't grow anything on his face.) :) Sometimes late at night Kurt & I crack ourselves up. Anyway, good to check in on you guys. You are loved and prayed for. ~~~Kurt & Heather Shorel & Sandra,

Ruby eats everything in sight and it is difficult to find toys that will be fun and safe, that I want to give her! And in proportion to the gifts I know Abby is getting/has received, Ruby seems to hardly get any, plus, Ruby's first birthday was in the mix and we were actually flying home ON her first birthday, so I had a lot of guilt! I keep reminding myself that she is a baby, and doesn't care about anything but being near us, and that at this early age, these celebrations are really for us, the adults. But it doesn't completely help me feel better. I feel your pain! I wish I could do something for you and little Selah. We are keeping you in our prayers! God bless your family!

Even though we are seemingly only a few states away, we are not able to see our family either due to finances. We just cannot swing it! So I had my Christmas funk too! I know this is a past post, but still I want you to know I am praying as you move into the new year and have your vacay in Thailand, I pray you will be refreshed and strengthened!!

I live in wv with no target nearby but my mom found the cranky and Flynn save the day track master set at target for 17 (normally 60). Just thought I'd share the good bargain from one train momma to another :) Maybe someone in the states near a target can get one for you and save it... Did you ever find cranky for him?
