We are Back!

...We have been out of town if you have wondered why there were no new posts or pictures this week. We spent the past week in the Los Angeles area at Disneyland! Had a GREAT time with Dan's family.

Had our family Christmas on Monday, December 21st here at home. Left Tuesday morning to drive to Disneyland. Spent Wednesday, Thursday and Friday there.

Saturday, Dan's family drove back home taking Darren and leaving Dan and I to enjoy a few days to celebrate our 6 year wedding anniversary! It was nice to have a few extra days to relax. We spent our Saturday shopping in the Disneyland area and a nice dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory.

Enjoyed attending church at Lancaster Baptist Church on Sunday. Dan and I enjoyed a brunch in Newport Beach area on Monday morning and then headed home. Arrived home Monday evening. Happy to give our little man hugs again!

Great vacation time and now we are happy to be all snug in our very own home again! Home is a wonderful place.

Here are some misc. pictures of our vacation. Enjoy! We love you all!

Dan and Helen, still very much in love after 6 wonderful years of marriage and looking forward to many more!

Great Play!

Our Christian school held its annual Christmas Extravaganza tonight. We held the dessert auction fundraiser first and made some good money for the school. My Chocolate Chip Cheesecake sold for $80!!

Then the kids put on a great Christmas play. Lots of good talent amongst our kids!

I will post pictures tomorrow from our Teen Christmas Party. We are taking our kids to Panera Bread, going to see Christmas lights with our hot chocolate and candy canes, and then finish off with an hour or so of games in the gym. Love time spent with the kids! Teens are a blast!

Rainy and Chilly...

Rainy and chilly outside. Makes me appreciate the nice, warm, cozy home God has given us! We have some presents under the tree now from Nana and Papaw Shepherd!

Had a fun time singing with my Mom-in-law and Sis-in-law at Victory Baptist Church in Brentwood last night. They had a ladies' Christmas party and asked us to sing. We had a good time together! Dan's sis, Karen and her friend came with us as well. It is wonderful to have fun fellowship with other Christian ladies. And the food...AMAZING! A sweet lady in their church made all the food, home-style southern cooking...Pot Roast (Fall apart tender, I might add!), peas and greens, mashed potatoes and gravy, homemade biscuits and homemade apple butter, homemade hot apple cider and an apple-pear-cranberry crisp! WOW!! It was such a treat. I LOVE to cook everything homemade also, so it made me feel I should go home and cook! Mmmmm!!

Darren was being cute, as usual; so here are a couple cuties of him. Enjoy!

Reading his Winnie the Pooh Books...

Reading one of his Franklin books. Those are his FAVORITES!

Isn't God Good?!

WOW! Great weekend! God is good!

One of our teenagers, who has been involved in our ministries for 7 years and is currently a senior in our Christian school, finally got his mom to attend our church service for the first time 2 weeks ago. Yesterday, she accepted Christ as her Saviour, walked the aisle and got baptized! How exciting! Gives us the reassurance and reminder that we should never stop praying. We never know how long an answer to prayer may take. What a privilege to pray! May we never lose sight of this privilege and daily take advantage of the gift of prayer.

We also had our church-wide adult Christmas party this past Saturday evening. We had a great group of people there and LOTS of food! It was potluck, so we had a very yummy variety of foods and a fun time of games and fellowship. "Church Family" is a wonderful extension of our own family.

Here is a picture of Darren "deep in thought" yesterday. he is just the cutest thing! Enjoy!

SHOPPING!

YAY! Dan and I had a "Christmas shopping date" tonight and we were able to purchase a few goodies for my family!! How fun! We will be putting out little box in the mail on Monday. For my family reading...wish we could see you all, but we are already looking forward to next Christmas!

It is very chilly and rainy here tonight. I am enjoying the sound of the rain outside the window. We are now entering the Bay area rainy season, but I don't mind it since we don't hardly get rain at all the rest of the year. Too bad it isn't a few degrees cooler, we might get SNOW! It snowed in the hills of Santa Clara and Napa, I believe! I am pining for a snow trip! We will be taking our teens next month to Tahoe as usual, so I will get my "snow fix" then.

Darren and I had a fun morning, just some good fun. He will let me take a video of him as long as he gets to watch it on my camera afterwards! I tried to post a couple little clips, but couldn't tonight?! Oh well. Here is one little picture of Darren...alias the villainous Captain Hook! He LOVES to play swords.

Can't wait!

To mail out our Christmas cards! I am hoping to get those in the mail in the next couple of days. Once I mail them, then I will post our new pictures on here. Just hated to post them here before anyone even got the Christmas cards!

We had a "stay around the house" day, which I enjoy! I am a homebody!

Here is a Darren funny for the day...

Dan always takes a nap from about 4:00 - 6:30 pm each afternoon, since he only gets somewhere between 2 hours to 3 1/2 hours of sleep at night. I wake Dan up when supper is almost on the table. I always let Darren go with me to wake him up. That is one of his highlights of the day, snuggling in the bed with Daddy! Today, I had supper almost on the table at 6:30 as usual, but I needed to take something out of the oven. I told Darren it was time to wake Daddy up, but today Mommy would let him do it all by himself! He was excited, so off to the bedroom he went to wake up Daddy.

I heard..."Daddy...Daddy...Time to wake up, Daddy." No movement from the bed.

Once again I heard..."Daddy...Daddy...Time to get up, Daddy. Supper's ready!" Still no movement from the bed, so Darren tried another tactic.

Next I heard..."Babe...Babe...Get up, Babe!"

Oh, how I roared with laughter!! I guess he figured "Babe" was the magic word! Ain't he the cutest thing?!

I will try to remember to take a new picture to post here tomorrow.

Nice family evening!

Nice evening! We ate supper and then headed over to the Patriots last home basketball game. The guys tried hard, but Heritage really has a LOT more players; plus one of our best players was fouled out on a REALLY bad call! Ahhh well, such is life, huh? Guess we will take 3rd place instead of second. He was a pretty good Christian about keeping his mouth shut on the call though, so that's good! Also had a good group of fans to support!










Then it was home for a few rounds of basketball on Darren's hoop and an old goofy cartoon with a snack. Milk and a Franklin book and off to bed for Darren. Dan and I were able to enjoy a nice cozy fire in the fireplace by the Christmas tree! Home is a WONDERFUL place!! Thanks, God, for the founding of the home and the amazing husband and son you have given me!








Darren LOVES to play his guitar and sing along with CDs. He AMAZES me by knowing the words to almost every song on my CDs! Today the Hooker Family's CD "Through the Storm"
was playing. He loves the songs "Glory, Glory (he calls it Cory, Cory!) and "God Give Me Faith" (since that is his cousin's name!). He began strumming along with "God Give Me Faith" and singing so I recorded him. You can't hear him too loud but he was singing almost every word of the chorus! Cutie pie. He melts me when he says "Fweeze, Mommy?!!!" (being interpreted... Please!) It's only about 45 seconds long. Enjoy!

A Sweet Service...

I just finished watching online the "Heavenly Graduation" service for Dr. Don Boyd, my high school principal. It was a very sweet tribute to the life of a truly amazing and exemplary Christian. There were some tears, some laughter over sweet and fond memories, and a time to give God solemn thanks for the time we were privileged to spend under the influence of Mr. Boyd's life. The music, as always at First Baptist, was sweet and appropriate.

I tearfully watched as his family said their last goodbyes to Daddy, Sweetheart, Grandpa and beloved relative. Mrs. Boyd left her husband with a sweet kiss and a long hug. The actions and composure of the family were a wonderful testimony of their trust in God . There was not a spirit of despair; sadness, yes, but an obvious faith and trust in a God whose strength is bigger than our hurts. Even in death, Mr. Boyd's unwavering faith in God was evidenced by the sweet testimony of his family.

I wish I could have been there to stand as an alumni who was privileged to be under the leadership of Mr. Boyd while in my high school years. But, as stated in my last post in tribute, I will strive to say my thanks by serving God with my life and pass on the legacy of Christianity Mr. Boyd handed down to us. he was truly a friend to all he met!

Thanks, Mr. Boyd! I have so many precious memories from my high school years! Your life will not be forgotten. We love you!

Darren and I are home from church tonight staying out of the nurseries since he still has "the yuckies." We are watching church online at North Valley (nvbc.org). Always enjoy hearing and seeing their church services; they are always very upbeat and encouraging. Bro. Trieber is a very uplifting person and I love all the music they include in every service!

Here are a few pictures we took of Darren for fun. He LOVES to get his picture taken, except when I WANT him to!

Enjoy...

Notice the shoes...

Our pretty Christmas tree..

We watched Polar Express (only the parts that didn't scare him!) So he came out of his room with his Santa hat and his "robe" and sat in his "sleigh" He said "Ho, Ho, Mar Chrismess!" He is the cutest!!

A Tribute...

Visit my Youth Pastor's Wife Blog for a tribute to a great man...Dr. Don Boyd, late principal of Hammond Baptist High School, who went to Heaven this past Sunday evening after a battle with cancer. He is an amazing man who will be sorely missed. Just click on the link below...

Sorry...

I haven't been to consistent on posting lately. Dan has had 4 nights off in a row! (if you count his Saturday and Sunday) What a treat! We have been busy taking full advantage of some wonderful family time.

Dan is back to work tonight to a VERY busy and crazy night at UPS, I fear! Volume should be astronomical tonight since they were closed for 2 extra days! Please pray for him this week!

We had a great Sunday. I had another large Sunday school class of 14 girls, I think; and the program is over! God is good! Several of the visitors from the program have been coming back consistently.

One of our faithful young men, who graduated from our teen dept. 2 years ago, has since become a faithful and active adult member of our church. He has been praying hard for some of his family to be saved. He has invited his niece, who is a teenage young lady, to church several times. She came yesterday and I had the privilege of leading her to the Lord during the invitation!! I just LOVE IT when God gives me such opportunities and special soul-winning experiences! It challenges me and stirs me up to be a more zealous witness.

Please be in prayer for our Darren man. I believe he is starting with the nasty stomach flu that his poor cousin Faith started with the day before Thanksgiving. Uuuuggh! I am not looking forward to that! If I end up dealing with a stomach flu I may not be back here for a few days. Anyways, here is a picture of him tonight. He is just a cutie!

A WONDERUL Family Day!

What a fun day!! I LOVE Thanksgiving, but I think the day after Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite days of the year ever since I was little! Dan and I LOVE carrying on the Shepherd family tradition of going to the tree farm to cut down a Christmas tree.

We had a yummy mid-morning breakfast at home and then off to Half Moon Bay to Santa's Tree Farm (our new favorite by the way!). It was a BEAUTIFUL drive! We got our tree, ate at McDonald's and then headed home. After a naptime for Darren, we decorated the tree this evening. What a fun day! I LOVE spending time with my 2 men, Dan and little Darren man!

Enjoy a few pictures...

Dan and Helen...


Daddy and Darren ready to cut down the tree. Darren insisted upon bringing his saw to help Daddy out!...

Mommy and The Darren Man...

With Mrs. Claus. Darren just couldn't quite get brave enough to go see Santa!...

The BEAUTIFUL view on our way back...

Into the Christmas spirit as we unpack all our Christmas decorations...

I am SO Thankful...

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I am so thankful to God for the many blessings he has bestowed upon our family this year. I am far away from my family this holiday season and missing all the Shepherd clan "hubub," but thankful to God for a second Christian family to be a part of! Dan's family is so wonderful!

We ate at Dave and Angie's house (Dan's brother). Mom Callaghan, Angie and I split up the cooking. We had a FEAST with plenty of yummy leftovers. We set some aside for Sunday dinner and split up the rest. We enjoyed time to sit around and chat, watched a few funny videos then headed home. I had the JOY of cleaning up and putting away food when I got home, but it sure is rewarding to be sitting here looking at a CLEAN KITCHEN! Aaaahhhh!

We watched "Pluto's Christmas Tree" an wonderful old Mickey Mouse cartoon, enjoyed a nice cozy fire together and a snack. Then Darren was off to bed. I think "family" and "home" are 2 of my very favorite words!

Tomorrow...one of my FAVORITE days of the year! We are going to cut down our Christmas tree, then come home and pull out all the Christmas decorations! Darren is pumped! So am I! We love carrying on the Shepherd family tradition!

Here is a picture of our cozy fire. We are thankful for all our friends and family and hope your day was special too!!

Update...

We had a great weekend!!! Saturday was normal schedule except we had our quarterly mission's meeting. It was a Christmas theme as we were collecting a love offering to send to our missionaries. We had a good turn-out with 25 or 26 people there. We enjoyed a nice spaghetti dinner, played one short game, collected an offering, prayed for our missionaries and dismissed. I always enjoy getting together with others in our church!

Sunday was the last day of the fall program. We had a big push for visitors and, as is our custom, gave away a free turkey to all bus parents who came and any visiting adults. We had LOTS of visitors! We had 7 visitors in the teen department alone, and about 19 adult visitors! WOW! Great to see God's house packed out on a Sunday morning! I had 17 ladies in my teen class! AWESOME! 5 of these were visitors. Dan had I believe 13 guys in his class as well! Our teens worked SO hard to bring visitors this program. We are SUPER proud of our kids for their hard work and also in going out of their way to be friendly to all the new teens.

Today Darren and I got to go grocery shopping for all our Thanksgiving food supplies. Our cupboards are bursting with holiday goodies waiting to be baked! Can't wait to start baking all my pies and goodies!! Aahhh...I LOVE Thanksgiving and the coming holiday season! What a wonderful thing to have a day dedicated to giving thanks and enjoying the fellowship of family...and food!! We all have SO much to be thankful for!

By the way, if you read my blog and have an extra 30 seconds, please post me a note in the box to the right. I LOVE knowing what people visit my blog and stay up-to-date with our family! It is just as simple as sending a text...type your name...a few words...and your done! (You do not have to enter your email if you do not wish to.) Hope you enjoy reading; I LOVE hearing from you!

A Nice Normal Week...

Sorry I haven't posted much this week. We have a bit of an Internet connection problem, but Dan has showed me how to reset it when it cuts off.

We have had a pretty routine week. Great Wednesday out teen soul-winning! I didn't get to go with the teens this Wednesday because I didn't have a babysitter. There were 17 teens out soul-winning and 16 saved, though! Hooray! I love the zeal our teens have for souls.

Darren has had a rather "2-year-old" week, but we still have lots of fun. Here are a few of his "funnies" from the week. Being a mommy is never ending entertainment!

Daddy leaves for bus route early every Sunday morning, so Darren and I have a special treat for breakfast...we have cinnamon toast instead of toast with honey! A little thing, I know, but we enjoy making the little things fun. I want him to learn in every possible way to look forward to Sundays. I LOVE Sundays!

Anyways, Monday morning rolled around and we had our "regular toast." While we were sitting at the table eating breakfast he said, "Mommy, can we please have "SIN" toast?!" OH, how I LAUGHED over that one!! He thought we were having "SIN" toast on Sundays! How ironic is that??!

Also, while driving in the car this week. We were talking about eating dinner. I asked Darren what he liked to eat. He thought for a moment and said..."Sgabetti!" Which, I believe interpreted would be...spaghetti! Hee Hee!

And the last Darren funny...I love keeping whole nuts in the shell around the holidays. We enjoy cracking and eating them whenever we are sitting down to watch something or just relaxing in the evenings. (Plus I don't eat as many when I have to crack open the shell first!) Tuesday evening Dan, Darren and I were just relaxing after dinner and Darren began asking for some notes? He kept asking and asking..."Mommy, can we have notes? Mommy, can we have notes?" I was quite puzzled till I asked him to show Mommy. He promptly walked to the glass jar filled with hazelnuts and said..."Notes, Mommy!"

Here are a few pictures of our cute man from this week. Enjoy!

Darren "the cool dude" Callaghan.

Darren LOVES to help build a fire...

Thanks, God!!

I just had to pause and thank God for a wonderful Christian home! What a privilege!!

We had such a wonderful happy family night. A warm yummy pot of homemade soup at the kitchen table...the sounds of a "Daddy and Darren" basketball game while I cleaned the kitchen...a few rousing games of "Hungry Hippo"...a few good "oldie" cartoons, 1937 Mickey Mouse and another old Chip and Dale...tucking my sweet Darren man into bed...enjoying a fire in the fireplace and a hot cup of tea with my Babe...The hardest working husband around heading off to work to provide for our family...and now the last bit of our nice fire with the end of an old faithful Hallmark movie and another bit of hot tea!

Ahhhh, why wouldn't ANYONE want to invite God into their homes?! We are so privileged to follow the sweet and happy will of God! What a wonderful, wonderful place to be! During every moment of our lives, good or bad, home with Christ as the center is a sweet haven!

Sunday...

We had a great service with many adult visitors again his week! We have one more week of our program left. We had 2 saved and 1 baptized in the morning service, which is always exciting!

Also, our nursery superintendent asked Pastor a few weeks ago if she could honor Mrs. Callaghan at Thanksgiving time for all she does for our church. She wanted to make it a surprise and mom was surprised, which is amazing! During the morning service she honored Mrs. Callaghan with a few special things, a gift and a short picture slide-show. Then Angie, Karen, Jezzel and I sang "Thank You for Giving to the Lord." Our Nursery superintendent also payed for a nice meal reception for the entire church after the service in the Fellowship Hall! Wow! What a treat! We had a nice time and were glad for the chance to honor a well-deserving Pastor's wife!

Here are those who fit in the Fellowship Hall! Had a good crowd so some were eating elsewhere.



A few pictures...

Mom and Dad Callaghan, nice smile, Dad!





Our nursery superintendent on the left who made this possible!



Mom's beautiful cake!




Everyone "digging-in" to the yummy Filipino food!




Darren sitting in his chair serenading everyone on Anthony's guitar! Notice his bright blue band-aid! He got an "owie" in the nursery and was SO proud of his big blue band-aid!

Saturday...

We had an exciting weekend!

Saturday first...
We had a Pizza and Game night at the church with the teens. We had several that were unable to make it but still had 15, which is a good group! We ate then played some wild and wacky games.

One of the games we played was human Foosball (the players stand lined up just like a Foosball table and cannot move off of their taped line. They have to kick the SOFT kids soccer ball into their goal past the goalie!) Lots of fun! We played some other crazy games too.

The kids had a lot of fun and so did Dan and I! We always enjoy spending time with our teenagers!

Here's a little 30 second human Foosball video...

Here is a "Darren Funny"...

I am was teaching Darren to ask to be excused from the table. I gave him a little jelly belly candy when he remembered to ask. He had finished his lunch and started saying, "Please have some 'scuse, Mommy? Please have some 'scuse?!"

I said, "Good! Yes, you can be excused!" But he kept saying, "Please have some, Mommy? Please have some 'scuse?" He proceeded to explain that he thought this "excused" stuff is something he should get after he ate...like a dessert!

I had a good laugh over that one! Now we have established that it isn't something to eat, it means "get down;" we are making better progress! Hee Hee!

Me and my cute lil' man. This is his new "smile?!" Ha!

Cheesecake Factory! Mmmm....

Tonight Dan and I took four teens, who brought visitors on our big day a few weeks ago, to the Cheesecake Factory in SF for dessert. We had a lot of fun and the cheesecake was AMAZING! Dan got Snickers Chunk cheesecake and I got Red Velvet Cheesecake! (Layers of Red Velvet cake and cheesecake. WOW!) Our winners were a brother and sister and two other young ladies; they all brought visitors with them on Friend Day. Nice night with some great teens and a handsome hubby! ALWAYS love a trip to the City! San Francisco is beautiful at night!

Love my handsome man!

Our contest winners...

With some of my girls!

A Thanksgiving Funny...

Here is a little laugh for you all.

Things NOT to say at the Thanksgiving Table…

- Turn to your mom and say, “See, I told you they wouldn’t

notice that the turkey was past the expiration date!”
- “Did you cook this yourself or did you just thaw it out?”
- “My, aren’t you full yet?”
- “Did we ever figure out which of you stole Grandma’s jewelry?”
- “Why didn’t you try some of Aunt Martha’s pecan surprise jello?”

This isn't Thanksgiving, but it IS funny! If you don't get it, you probably shouldn't apply at a school for the gifted!...

Monday update...

We had a nice relaxing Monday morning since there was no school for teacher's work day. Dan was able to sleep in and we ate a nice breakfast together this morning. What a treat! Here are a couple pictures from today. Nothing spectacular, just our very cute little Darren man and Belle, our little dog.

Darren and Belle...Don't her eyes look evil?!


Darren enjoying his animal crackers...

Daddy and Darren playing with "snakes!"

I also have a GREAT report to post about our Sunday! One of our teen girls has been praying for, I think, about 2 years for her mom to come to church and to be saved. She and her cousins convinced her mom to come with some family yesterday to church for the first time! We were SO excited.

During invitation time I slipped to the back of the auditorium where she was sitting and asked her if I could show her some verses from the Bible to help her in her life. She agreed and sat down with me there in the back (She has been rather hesitant about church and God, etc, so I thought asking her to come to the altar might be a mistake).

I was able to open the Word of God and show her the only way to Heaven. She listened, bowed her head, and sweetly asked the Lord to take her to Heaven. I was moved to tears as we prayed thinking that God would use ME to do such an amazing work in someone's life! WOW! Serving the Lord is an awesome thing to do with your life! The Lord's work is the greatest work in the world! Thank you, God, for working through ME!

We also had a great number of teens there on Sunday morning, about 26, I think!

Darren vs. the iPhone...

How can a two-year-old figure out an iPhone? We have never showed Darren how to work anything on Dan's iPhone, but somehow from just watching Dan he has figured out how to do almost anything! It seems he certainly has an aptitude for picking up the operations of ANYTHING digital?! Whiz kid!

Here is a 30 second video clip we took tonight as Dan let him play with his phone for 5 minutes. He has figured out how to slide to open...select the icon of the weapon game (if you don't know what this is, you can select a weapon, sword, whip, etc. And then swing the iPhone like that weapon and it makes the noise!)...and change from one weapon to another?!! Exceptionally smart child, of course! Enjoy...

Fun Afternoon with the Teens...

Had a great day out Teen Soul-winning today. 17 teens in attendance and 7 people saved! Very good in view of the fact that we have very little time now that daylight savings is over. It is practically dark as soon as we start! We don't like for the kids to stay out too long so we only had about half an hour. I was going to take some more pictures, but I forgot I had my camera till the last group of kids was getting off the bus! Anyways, here are a couple of our kids; we have such a GREAT group...

3 of our guys...Totally PUMPED...or something like that?!...

2 of our young ladies ready to go win some souls! However, they went with Dan and I; and, I am afraid to say, we picked the GRUMPY Street! A bunch of people who thought they didn't need God! Oh well, can't say we didn't try today!
