I also like the verses suggested, but the first verse I thought of {thinking library} was "Thy WORD have I hid in my heart.."

Hi, Stephanie! Thank you for saying hi! :) And I love that verse! What a good verse to encourage us to always hide His Word in our hearts!

Since it is above the bookshelves my suggestion for a scripture is "Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee."

I read you blog but rarely comment. ;)

I love it, Jolene! :) We do have a big wall in our living room with all 13 of our family pictures...hmmmm....now you got me thinkin' !

And, Joleena, (hey...that's neat that you and Jolene commented right next to each other :)...I love those verses! So true and good!!!

Happy Birthday to Nehemiah!! Just after your Mom gets the side bar updated she has to do it again :)! Hope you have a wonderful 5th birthday!
Love your new library :).
Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
(Proverbs 4:5)

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
(Psalms 111:10)
I think food would take priority over violin here too :)!
When you get all your menus made up could you send them to me :).
Miss you all!

Great to see a post from you in my inbox today! Merry Christmas to your family from ours across the ocean.

And here is another verse suggestion... Ps. 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it.

Then, I started thinking about the fact that you have 12 children and thought it would be fun to come up with something about the 12 tribes of Israel, so I did a little search and found this phrase in Acts 26:7 "...our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night..." and thought how cute that would be with each of their pictures included as well! LOL!

Our family verse is Psalm 37;4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Would Proverbs 1 verses 2,3,4,5 something like that work over your shelves? Merry Christmas!

Jaynee, those carolers are soooo adorable! Love the big book shelves too!!! Was so excited to see a post, hope you guys have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Hi, Dianne! :) Christmas Blessings to you! Thank you for the verse suggestion. I do love that verse! :) We "adjust" often...that's just part of being a family and I love it :)

2011-12-16T21:50:56.337-07:00

Thank you for the update! What a change your family had -- adjusting to being back home. You are a blessing of a momma -- recognizing those things that needed attention and making a plan. I think our family could use an adjustment also, and we haven't been away from home! How about Phillipians 4:13 above the library? The book shelves look fantastic. What a perfect timing for your family, with all your 12 blessings old enough with the ability to reshelve books they have read. Christmas blessings to your family. With love, Dianne Phillips (Eugene, OR)

Merry Christmas, Cinnamon! Hope the girls get their letters soon! :) And I think your book shelves on the top near your ceiling are the best!!! :)

So glad you are getting back into a workable routine. Life goes much better that way doesn't it? :-)

What adorable little carolers. I love them!! And your very shiny and creative Christmas theme board. I think it's beautifully done.

I can completely relate about the bookshelves. John built me the bookshelves in our living room to hold most of our books. I was finally able to get the books out of the basement. They'd been there for a couple years :-0

Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family Jaynee!

Merry Christmas to you, too, Dawn! Thank you for always leaving such sweet comments :)

Hi, Tereza :) Good to hear from you! I always have lists of projects to do and I'll just choose some from there while Daniel is gone. Probably things like organizing closets/drawers, cupboards, decorating, paperwork, planning, etc... Every time Daniel has to go away overnight or longer, I try to hit my list :) I do most of it when the children are in bed. Normally, I reserve that time to be with my Honey but when he's not home, I keep busy so I don't miss him. I usually get into bed late too those times...after midnight sometimes, and then the day he gets back, we'll sleep in together a bit the next day and let the children have an easy breakfast and start school late :)

Thank you, Nikki! I love the bookcases too and it's the first time that our family room has had really any furniture to speak of! :)

2011-12-16T18:16:43.358-07:00

You might not think you are very creative but all these little things you do with the kids make such good and warm memories for them!! I can always feel the love in your family through the pictures you post. they will grow up well adjusted and happy for sure!
Your home is looking nice and festive!
what sorts of things will you have on your to do list while they are away?

I love how you seem to enjoy the many mundane tasks of taking care of everythning and everyone!
