It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Well, we are very, very, very excited about Christmas!  The kiddos picked out our Christmas tree and then got to pick out a little one for their room.  They got out a lot of their toys to help decorate for Christmas.   This is such a special time of year and it so fun to see how wonderfully magical it is for children.  We unfortunately missed our church Christmas Pageant because the kiddos were sick.  We are looking forward to a wonderful and Joyous Christmas. It is fun to watch Joshua and Millie grow up even though I want to freeze time.  They are two special little Angels!  I will do my best to post lots of pictures.  

way too long.....

Well, it is has been way too long since our last post.  I am truly going to try and do better.  We will see how that goes.  These little munchkins are growing up so fast.  It is hard to believe all that they are learning.  Thanksgiving was great.  We are very THANKFUL we were able to see so much of our family.  Millie had her Thanksgiving program which was precious.  Lots of singing and so cute to see her interact with her friends at school.  Enjoy!

Our latest Adventures

Onc afternoon we were able to go to Oak Mtn. State park and go hiking.  It was Millie's all about me week at school so she got to bring along Emily the Pig.  We also were able to go see a former player play college volleyball and ....you guessed Emily got to come and we had a surprise visit from Big Al.

BACK TO SCHOOL

I am fully aware that we are 4 weeks into the school year and I am just posting first day pictures.  So here they are. I cannot believe our kiddos are growing up so fast.. just as I have seen our nieces and nephews have right before my eyes.
