Enjoying our Days

Decided I better get busy and take some more pics of my kiddos...Abby grows a little more everyday. She'll be 5 months old on Thursday. We went to the Dr. today for her check-up. She is doing great...and has a huge head (90th percentile on the growth chart)! She must get that from Paul! Truly she is doing so wonderful, sleeps great, and gets to start eating some real food. I think she is ready and hungry. I'm sure I'll takes some pics tonight of the experience.

Christmas decorating is done...at least all that I'm going to do. Tree up, lights on house, and stockings/decor up. My favorite is the Christmas music. I know I get that from my Nan (grandma). She always loves Christmas music and I do too...especially because it mostly points to the true reason we celebrate this season...Jesus. What are your favorite Christmas songs/cd's? I need a few new ones...any suggestions would be great! Love to all!

Thankful

This time of year I am always a little more contemplative...and lately it seems I find myself attempting to be thankful for all God has given and to live in these present moments...taking them in and being present. Enjoying each moment I have with my sweet baby girl and sweet boy. Already I'm wondering where have the moments/days/weeks gone? Enjoyed my Nan and Mom coming to visit last week. You can see the sweet pic of Abby and my Nan. Joel is just growing...growing in every way.
Thankful today for my family being well and healthy, for music that encourages me, and for the amazing way God chose to save us...Jesus as a baby. I can't help but hold Abby and think about how Jesus came. Really? A baby? We talk about it this time of year but when you stop and think...really let your heart wonder...Jesus came as a precious vulnerable baby and chose to come for us. Truly it is a mystery. Isn't it amazing the way He came.

Hello Friday

Abby is 16 weeks old today and isn't she the cutest! Joel has been sick all week with the flu. He still isn't feeling great but I think he's getting better (I pray). Still Abby remains flu free and I sure hope she doesn't get it. Poor Joel...I hate seeing my children sick. Hope we can enjoy this beautiful weather over the weekend.

Happy Halloween

Weekend fun again

These pics won't open now from the post a few days ago so here are the pics that should have been there...I can't figure out how to fix the others....

Toothless?

Joel had a surprise for me when I picked him up from school yesterday. Another tooth gone....his top front tooth. He pulled it himself at school and got 6 dollars from the tooth fairy. We took these pics this morning...didn't get around to taking them last night. Abby was enjoying playing with her brother this morning before school.

Happy Friday

Dr. Abby...isn't this cute? A gift from Paul's cousin.

Happy Friday from Abby...I think she is looking alot like me in my baby photos....and the last photo is Paul's latest new toy. No comment. Hope we get that tax credit! Abby is 15 weeks old today.
