A Doggie Christmas

Christopher was very disturbed that we did not have any Christmas gifts for our dogs, particularly Lexi. (I was not at all concerned about this issue.) At any rate, he left Sophie's needs to me, but decided to take Lexi's gift needs into his own hands. He made her a peanut butter doggie treat Christmas cake, and she was delighted with his thoughtfulness.

Modern Miracles

Sarabeth and Christopher fight with each other for most of their waking moments, much to my chagrin. Recently, however, I caught them in a moment of sibling peace and unity. As they cuddled together, Sarabeth was reading "Grimm's Fairy Tales" to her younger brother... made my day.

Emergency Preparedness

For some reason, Christopher is very worried about tornadoes. A few weeks ago, our area was under a tornado watch, and Christopher made sure we all knew that he had arranged a safe and well-supplied shelter for our family in the basement under the steps... water, flashlights, blankets, binoculars(?), several Bibles, Sarabeth's hat box containing her favorite hat, and Christopher's shoes and his Jesus doll. We're all set.
