Twelve

My favorite twelve photos of 2012 as I did last year with links to their posts.

"You are the light of the world."
Matt 5:14

My little girl, more independent by the day.


The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy, and I will give thanks to him in song.
Psalm 28:7

My little boy, more spunk by the day.

Be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.
Ephesians 6:10

He turned one this year.

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
Romans 1:20

And spring held the new for us, with a baby to be born soon, a move and a new career for the momma.

You created my innermost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb.
Psalm 139:13

Our bellies expanded together, my sisters and me.

For I have derived much joy and comfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you
Philemon 1:7

And my little ones grew their friendships.

My mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, 
and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
Psalm 63:5-7

T seemed to prepare for his big brother role, becoming more and more toddle, less and less babe.

I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall always be on my lips.
Psalm 34:1

And then, our dear son was here. 

Because your steadfast love is better than life, I will praise you.
Psalm 63:3

Our family was full, full with noise, chaos and love.

Your works are wonderful, I know that full well
Psalm 139:14

And then we counted down to the twins who would join the cousin crew.

For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and to help you, plans for a hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11

My little girl was more beautiful by the day, more child, less toddle.

For unto us a Child is born, a son is given and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace...
Isaiah 9:6

Yes, this year was blessed.
