Loved "Cleaning is my passion" 😊😂❤ It's great to see you laugh together. ❤

[@cheche2181]

I kept chuckling at this too. I think ‘cleaning is my passion’ should be used when Bert is telling a little white lie 😆😆😆😆

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

I said that from day one. I've always said Livie looks like Jessica. God works all that out. Isn't it so neat!

[@erinowens]

You should always do Q&As late at night. You get so goofy and funny 😂

[@parisitaly6012]

That picture of you Jessica… oh my word, My jaw dropped for about 5 minutes! Livy looks like YOU!!! WOW!! That is amazing! ❤ 👏 😊

[@ChiefsGirlSince1989]

not every extended family accepts an adopted child. Olivia is truly loved. I've been watching since 2019 too The older kids can do their own laundry..

[@donnacarlo1877]

What a wonderful example to your children you are. I love your random acts of kindness during the christmas season. Your christmas cards that are non-pictured, you can take the fronts and fold them in half, then crochet around the edges. These make beautiful bookmarks! Merry Christmas!

[@seventhdayissabbath8747]

It was meant to be!! Olivia looks and fits right in with your family.. God is good and knows where these little ones need to end up in situations like hers...

[@VanessaPage-ic2bd]

You and your family could never be boring. I love the Q&A videos.

[@seanshaw5164]

Feeling your joooy! I’m dealing with NOT only a rotator cuff injury, but also a blown left knee at 61. I also served eighteen years in the army..but that WAS a lifetime ago…

[@SalLeeHolland]

Sending my thoughts and healing prayers that you get better soon. I had that too, and it takes a long time, just make sure you do your PT.

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Sean, my husband is dealing with pain as well. Back, neck, knees, and shoulders 20 years AF. I keep telling him when all is said, and done (surgeries) I'm going to call him my bionic man.

[@seanshaw5164]

@@sandyoklahomatransient8557 my wife just calls me her knucklehead..siiigh, that’s what I get for jumping out of PERFECTLY GOOD aircraft for a living…

[@catherineb5066]

May I say ouch ouch! I ripped my rotator cuff kayaking long story..Sending prayers for your shoulder and knee..tip ice will be your best friend after surgery..and Happy Holidays❤🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄

[@KatherineWalden]

I totally understand what you’re going through with that arm injury. Sleeping's such a struggle! Luckily, I found this awesome physiotherapist on KZbin from Arizona who shared some really good tips on how to position pillows.

[@sorij3560]

We all love Olivia❤ Merry Christmas to the Somers Family!

[@seandayma]

I hope you recover quickly, Bert.

[@gaileestriegel7102]

This was so fun. Totally enjoyed your sharing. God Bless. Merry Christmas.

[@lindapearson8137]

My mom said she would disown me if we adopted from another country! Well, the Lord gave me a vision of my Korean daughter, so God comes first! It took a little while for the acceptance, the first couple years! They lived two states away so didn’t see them often! My mom sewed dresses for my girls ! Turned out my Korean daughter and mom had much in common then our biological kids as they took after my husband’s side of the family, so that worked out great! She made my folks great-grandparents and that was super cool! Now her number two son made me a great-grandmother!

[@rebeccahulon888]

We adopted our daughter 40 years ago. She now has two children. The only problem is we’re on the east coast and she’s on the west coast.

[@diannewelt155]

You are NEVER boring!

[@liswhetstone8958]

That Q & A was great! Thanks

[@danashick1732]

I like the foot tapping on the plane. To me it is saying “let’s get going. Let the adventure begin.”

[@jaketwain114]

😂🤣 you two are hilarious!! It is great to see you so down to earth and vulnerable. Thank you Jessica for turning the camera around. 😊 you are just a genuine loving fun Christian family! I love it! 💖 had me giggling with you! Yep "cleaning is my passion" Jessica you will have to make a t-shirt in your line as a joke shirt with a funny meme or picture. 🤣😂 it will sell! We can realte totally!. May the Lord continue to bless you according to his riches and glory. 💖 I have also been here since 2019 or 2020 ish. thank you for lifting my day!! Big hugs from Oklahoma again.. 🤣😂💖

[@DG20556]

Enjoyed the Q and A! Seems like catching up with friends.

[@priscillaatencio6410]

Bert, roll a towel and a rice bag ( warm in micro for a minute, if it hot wrap in a small towel), put under arm and put rice bag on roll towel near sholder, it works!

[@joannegiordano9409]

Bert and Jessica, you two have me laughing so much. Love the banter between you! I’m sure the post office loved the pizza and gift cards. Who wouldn’t when something is done out of kindness? I love these type vlogs.

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Happy Wednesday and vlogmas day 18, SOMERS. I hope you’re having a good day. Only 1 week away from Christmas. It’s crazy how time flies. Christmas is next Wednesday and 2025 begins two weeks from today. I hope you SOMERS have a happy holidays. Keep them Christmas activities coming. Continue on your road on getting the gold play button

[@HeavenlyMe11]

Love the Q&A please do them more often ❤

[@Crewzn4]

My son had special instructions on how to do his laundry, that is when I showed him how to use the washing machine. It was a great learning experience for both my son and younger daughter.

[@susiessoapstuff1459]

I taught both kids how to do laundry, clean house, mow the grass, etc. There is no men's work or women's work. There is just stuff to be done. And if you live there, you get to help do it.

[@susandickson1644]

I am sixty something and my Dad would read Luke 2 every Christmas Eve. I miss this so much enjoy this time with those kiddos

[@conniepayton2765]

I have been watching from 2019. Love your family and videos!! ❤

[@heatherburden4281]

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas from Houston. Bless you for the joy yous bring to so manyof us.

[@lindseyTNMama]

I love the Q&A videos so much joy and laughs. I have been with yall since 2018 and the Somers are definitely family. The thing that stood out for me is Bert’s comment on when Livey calls him Dad. I got the chills, as a mom I felt that to my core. Livey loves you and it almost feels like she is choosing you/accepting you as her parents vs being blood and that being a given. Ahh that is just so incredible, I love yall Merry Christmas ❤

[@mariannabarbowski121]

Thanks for sharing with us! Love hearing about Olivia - you all were meant for each other 💕 love watching all the kids grow up !

[@kathylane5934]

Love your family. You have helped us through tough times. You are real, better than K. We love you so much. Thank you for sharing

Been watching since 2018, & I love the Q & As. When God is the one who orchestrates things, it's no wonder that Olivia looks like you did at her age. Awesome!

[@SalLeeHolland]

Merry Christmas, and thank you for all you do for people. I know you use the KZbin money to do it, but many don't, so God bless you for giving people something. You never know how much you may have made their day that someone cares about them. They could be having a very bad time, and this will touch them so much more and gives them hope for better days. I do like the Q&A's even though I have been here for years. Love from, Western, N.Y.

[@conniesmith3922]

You two are hilarious! Yabba dabba do! 😂😂😂 really enjoyed the q and a today. Olivia definitely fits in with your loving family, so happy you all became a family.❤❤❤ Merry Christmas to all!

[@jamierayburn69]

I have been watching you all for years, I just had to open a different email so I have a new user name. I have watched your ups and downs and how prayer and faith has seen you through. I just found out a couple days ago that I have Mutiple Sclerosis. It has taken the wind right out of me. It took doctor years to figure out what was happening to me and by some twist of faith, my new doctor who cared enough to get to know me figured things out and ran the right tests. I want to Thank You for Vlogmas this year, I needed this, something to look forward to. I love you Q&A. I haven't ever ordered your Alaskan Aparrel it is way above my price bracket but I just love looking at everything and the orginal ideas you have come up with, it's got to feel good to get that talent out to the world. Thanks again

[@juneturner7964]

I LOVE your Q&As

My daughter's shoulder got messed up as well. Nothing actually happened to it. But, the fluid in her shoulder was inflamed. She had to take an antiinflammatory for one month and prescription for a week. My sister in law works for the post office. She said on an extremely busy day they would get 20 pallets of packages. One day they got over 130 pallets in a day around Thanksgiving. I would absolutely love to move to Alaska! We live in Texas currently. When I was doing my research to move there. I was looking into specific doctor's my daughters need and any therapies they need.

[@markylindyscrib2120]

God bless you guys and your whole family. You are a blessing to me. The last two and a half years, we have been dealing with my with my husband 's prostate cancer. We didn't find out he had it until he was paralyzed. There have been ups and downs he has feeling now and can move his legs but not in wheel chair yet. Hw lifts weights from bed and is very disciplined. Now it seems I may have uterine cancer. The doctor said it was treatable, but I am a little scared because I am his care provider. I love hearing about your life and Alaska.qq
