Time spent with family

My niece is growing up so fast! I can't believe she will be two in January. Here is a couple of pictures with her aunties....

This morning my mom and I got up early and headed up to Peabody for the CBD sale. I used to love going to these when I was younger because we always found great deals on CDs, books, etc. I hadn't gone in a while because I had worked on Saturdays for a long time. We found some great deals and had an awesome time together too!

My mom got this cute little puppy for the baby.

I got this book of Fairy Tales for him. 

A few devotional type books that either Dan or I have wanted for a while...

... and a bunch of great CDs

 I love having encouraging music playing during the day. I think it helps so much with keeping a good attitude and thinking about positive things. I don't think we realize how much we are affected by the background noise that we constantly have streaming at us. We take in so much more information each day than we realize between the music, tv, radio, computer etc. I hope that for my family that is positive rather than the negative we get almost everywhere else.
