Christmas Play

The kids were in a Christmas play on Sunday. A very interesting storyline I might say but funny and cute. Here Haley hugs her friend Grace Ribbe. They sang a small duet together. If you can't tell by the pic, they are 50's poodle skirt wearing sheep.
Jackson is a cool sheep..... yes, I know.... not your traditional Christmas story...( which in itself, is full of imagined details that aren't actually factual.... but that's a whole other story.)

So cute.....I laughed so much at them!


Don't let them fool you.... they're no angels!!!!



Don't you just love the face?





Just Another Day

Jacob, trying to stay awake waiting for Grandma to get here.
Tired, but holding out til Grandma arrives.

Trying to get their work done so they can go outside and enjoy the snow. They opted for the living room as their location for working in their workbooks today.


"Take a picture of me!" is what I'm always hearing when they see the camera.



Why not wear your PJ's til you absolutely HAVE to get dressed when we go outside?





Christmas Tree 2008

We always have tons of fun chopping down our Christmas tree. This is by far my favorite yet.
Jordan, happy its his turn next to saw the tree.

This is right up Jacksons alley...


Its so big we put it in the kitchen/dining area in front of the sliding glass doors.



We liked it just the way it was. Except for chopping a little off the top to fit it in, we didn't trim it at all. Just chopped it down and put it up..... Not perfectly shaped, just the way I like it!





Welcome The Newest Resident at HoneyRock

Yah!!! Cohen arrived about 4 weeks early but healthy 0n 11/20. So perfect and small at 4lb 9 oz.
Me, Cohen, Mommy Lauren and Robyn at the hospital about 5 hours after he was born. We were so excited to finally meet him.

What precious, beautiful miracles babies are!!!

Oops !! I Posted These Backwards.....

As most of you know, October and November were quite eventful in our family. From Dell's moms 2 brain surgerys in NC to Haley's bonfire burn accident, we are finally ready for only fun excitement! I apologize for posting these backwards. I posted these from most recent to oldest by accident and I don't know how to undo... sorry...
This is Haley about 2 weeks out. She's even better now. The last dead skin has fallen off and there's only a slight discoloration now which, over time and with proper moisturizing and protection from the sun, we have been assured will fade.
About 1 1/2 weeks out. Her hands were severely burned although its hard to tell in the pics. They caused her the most pain and actually she couldn't comfortably hold her pencil to do her schoolwork for 2 weeks so we just did alot of reading. Her hands are quite sensitive to the cold.




About a week out.



The night of before going to the hospital. She was in alot of pain and they were told(I was still in NC) she had 2nd degree burns. We are so thankful it wasn't worse than what it was. The Lord is good and we are reminded of His love and faithfulness through these times.





MLB Here I Come...

Jackson LOVES baseball.... well.... all sports .... and he's pretty good too. Here are some pics of him in action mode.


Well... actually, I think Dell got him to pose for these.... this was the first day I was gone to NC and he took them to the field.
