I'm back!!

We had a great Christmas and a very nice break from work. It's hard to believe we're already into mid-January!! Emma is growing like a weed, at least developmentally. She's still on the "petite" side! Here are some recent pics!

Jody and I have birthdays coming very soon! To celebrate Jody's bday, we're going to the Dallas Cowboy's playoff game Sunday...Go Cowboys!! Cheer them on Sunday at 3:30!!!

Little Witches

Tonight was trunk or treat at church. We had a great time. Emma was super cute in her witch costume....Mama was a witch, too. Cousins Hannah and Haley and Aunt Amy and Uncle Joel also came!!

Emma is almost 16 mos old now. She LOVES people! She says "hi" to everyone. Her favorite words are: baby, Nana, Mommy, apple, and no". Lots of fun!

Prayers Needed

Jody's cousin, Boothe and her family are dealing with an unbelievable test of faith. Their 2nd daughter, Copeland, was born with Trisomy 18 6 days ago. She was not expected to survive longer than and few hours. Boothe has an inspiring and heart-wrenching blog: http://conorbootheandgirls.blogspot.com/

Eventhough it will probably make you cry, I encourage you to read it. She is honest with her emotions but testifies daily to God's power and wisdom. I am amazed by this mother's faith and encouragement while dealing with such a terrible situation. Again, I encourage you to read it and take in her closeness to the Father.

10 years ago!!

Here are some pics from my 10 year high school reunion. It's hard to believe I'm sooo old!! I had a good time and was able to catch up with friends I had not seen in 10 years.... Some high school social injustice was remedied - one of the hot, football players came up unattractive and chubby!! Anyway, enjoy the pics!

It's been a long time!

Well we've had an exciting summer....traveling ALL over the country. Since I blogged last, I have been to College Station, Pennsylvania, Nashville, and had our 6th anniversary plus a few other fun days. But it's over...I start back to work tomorrow!! Which is both good and bad. I'm ready, but I'll definitely miss the time home with Emma. I think it will be good for her to get back into a routine with Ms. April and playing with Dakota. I'll spend time this week posting pics of our travel and everything....more to come soon!
