Today, the second Sunday of Advent, we enjoyed a church service with many Christmas songs, the lighting of the second Advent candle, coming to the Lord’s table, and the preaching of the Word. After this, and after taking care of the money for the church and the rest of the paperwork to the PCC, we had a special lunch from Sonic (yum!). The boys then played outside in the bitter cold.
This time I did brave the snow to take pictures of them. I don’t know how they kept playing out there. I was so cold I hurt after about two minutes. They are tough little guys.
Yes, Timothy’s coat is a little long in the arms, but that’s what happens when you have a boy who grows very quickly but is between sizes. The good thing is that he likes his “long coat.”
Before bed this evening, we lit the second Advent candle in our own little service at home. The boys were fascinated by the flames, as was I at their age. They listened (mostly attentively) to the Scripture readings and helped me sing too. I just love how sweet they are.

Brave woman going out in the cold! Glad your boys are enjoying it.
Thanks for the Kindle link. Yea for good free books!
I clicked on the picture of Nathaniel to get it bigger so I could try to see the expression on his face… it came up bigger, but long and totally squished like he was in a house of mirrors…
I can’t seem to replicate the problem with the picture. If you can try it again and let me know if it is still happening, I will try to fix it.
Tried it a couple more times, but I think my laptop screen may be a bit small or something. I’ll send you a screen capture…
Great pictures of the guys – you didn’t have the opportunity to live in a really cold climate when you were little.
Stay warm!
Snow was fun for a while, but I wouldn’t mind living somewhere where snow is more of a novelty. I like hot weather far more than cold.
