Wrapping up the Year

I am wrapping Christmas presents today but I should be packing boxes...lot's of boxes!

We're moving in a few short days, yes days! Crazy, right?

I'm not sure if there is ever a perfect time to move but escrow is closing on our house this week. We found a cozy ranch style home that we love and we can move in on the first day of January. I am a little weepy and sentimental these days looking at old photos of the house and kids ... seriously where does the time go? I am also finding things I thought we lost? Amazing what you can find when you have Spring fever in the wintertime! 

Never a dull moment at the Hammar's...

I had a magazine photo shoot at the house on Monday, our son's birthday is this Thursday, and Christmas Eve is at our house this year!

I am sure I will have a few "I love Lucy" moments as the month closes in. I just put the sugar cookie dough I made in the microwave instead of the refrigerator.  

I wanted to wish our son Kyle a very Happy Birthday! Hope you have an amazing day! 

If I am not blogging as much you will understand why.

Lastly, My family and I are praying for everyone effected by this horrible shooting last week, heart breaking pain for so many.

I shared this scripture on facebook last week it has touched me in the past.

Praying the Lord's arms are wrapped around each person suffering right now.

Thankful

Thankful this evening ...

A family member missing ... but now is found.

My Mom's youngest brother Don was missing after an evening walk tuesday night with his trusty companion dog Buster. Buster returned home but my Uncle did not. After hours of searching in the pitch black wilderness, a rescue team was called in to continue the search.

We now know, my Uncle Don had lost his footing and slipped down an embankment, fell 60 feet, landed in a wild grove of blackberries which in-tangled him right away and he could not move. 

He is resting now in the hospital, being treated for hyperthermia, dehydration, and pretty bad cuts from the fall. 

Our entire family is rejoicing that he was found!

We would appreciate continued prayers for him ... they are running more tests and are in the process of stabilizing him ... he is currently in ICU and will be hospitalized for several days. 

We love you Uncle Don!

Dodger Stadium

 

Harvest Crusades are coming to LA!  

Many of you know my husband works for our church and summer is a very busy time filled with details of the Harvest Crusades.

Volunteers, staff and my husband arrived Wednesday at the Dodger Stadium and began building the stage...working all night until the sun comes up the stadium transformed with all the details of the stage being completed. 

The photo below I took less than two weeks ago at the Angel Stadium ~ Harvest Crusade. My husband and son standing in front of the stage, starbucks in hand, smiling after a goodnight sleep :)
