Merry Christmas!!

Last night, we went across town to a house that has computerized lights that literally dance to the music. Pretty impressive. It's about a $50,000 lighting job (not counting the massive stereo system that cranks Christmas music full tilt). Keep in mind, this is someone's house. Not a store or mall. People come from all over the place to see it, and there are hundreds of people standing in the streets in amazement. The adults are just as blown away as the kids (see look on Tim's face). With everything from trains and smoke machines to bubble machines and over 100,000 lights, the whole place goes to the beat of the music using a custom programmed computerized controlled system. In short, this place knocks your socks off. We stood there and watched for 20 minutes (at one house) and I still wanted to stick around when we had to leave!! Needless to say, Sophia was most impressed (and perhaps a little overwhelmed). Here's a video that shows a run through of all the photos we took...

So from the Drumm family to you, here's wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. May the Lord bless you and your family with a wonderful time this year as you celebrate the birth and coming of our Messiah. Don't forget - the baby in the manger was born to die so that we could live. ...and he'll be coming back again to finish what began in Bethlehem.

catching up

So this is my attempt to catching up on our blog and the fact that Alaythia is almost 4 months old.  We are so blessed, she is such a happy child.  And yes those are blue eyes, they are really amazing.

Saying good bye

Well as most of you know Jason and I got rid of my car last April.  We are trying to honor the Lord with our finances and felt that was a wise sacrifice so I could stay home with our girls.  Then the Lord was gracious to allow me to use my sister Lucey's car for the last 9 months.  Lucey is so thoughtful, while she was out of the country she said I could use her Honda Element.  She drove all the way from California so I could use it.  It has really been a blessing too.  Especially with two little girls it has been perfect.  Well at the end of this month she will be coming home and will need her car again.  I am so very thankful for being able to use this car for the last 9 months.  Thanks Lucey! You are such a sweet thoughtful sister and Aunt and we cant wait to see you!

 Meanwhile please be praying that the Lord will work in mighty ways.  That He will provide a car for us somehow and that He would be glorified through that but, more importantly that He would make my heart glad in Him and not in having a vehicle.  Oh how I want Him to be glorified in my life, car or no car!  

One Word: "Awesome"

Notice the graphical icon for Wednesday on the Conroe, Texas Forecast.
That's right. Snow baby!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.......and I like it.

A little bit of cuteness

We were snuggling on a cold morning on the couch.  She is so sweet!
