Baby, It's Cold Outside

It was actually in the 50s today! Dakota wore her hat and gloves to school today, because it was "hat and gloves" day. We really aren't that Floridian! (Although we do act like it is SO cold!) It was nice to feel colder weather. Thanksgiving Day was in the 80s!

Dakota thought it was so neat to wear her hat and gloves. This is purely her own pose that she thought of for the camera. She is such a character. she is defnitely a Tallman in that regards.

Psalm 74:16-18
" The day is yours, and yours also the night;
you established the sun and moon.
It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth;
you made both summer and winter. "

Wonder

I caught the kids under the Christms tree last night looking up at all the lights. Colton has done this every year as long as I can remember. He goes under the tree and lays looking up at all the lights. He loves to do that. I envy that "full of wonder" attitude that he has. I feel that I have become callused to the small, magical things that occur each day. When does the wonder leave? How does becoming an adult lose all that is wonderful. Children have no money or ability to provide for themselves, yet they possess all that we envy. We as adults have money, capabilites to provide for ourselves and we still haven't what we really need.

I pray this Christmas season I take time to wonder and take in all the wonderful moments that exist each day.

Exodus 15:11
"Who among the gods is like you, O LORD ?
Who is like you—
majestic in holiness,
awesome in glory,
working wonders? "
