Ladies Banquet

I also was able to participate in the kickoff of the Christmas season at church by singing at the Ladies Banquet on the 1st and 2nd of December. What a great way for me to focus on what is important at this time of year. I was very thankful for the message about 'peace'!! (and still trying to implement some of the ideas!)

Zach's Birthday

I am so behind in blogging......I guess my excuse is the season!! We have all 6 birthdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas all in a 4 month period. Life comes at us fast from November til February. So, my baby turned 4 on the 30th of November. We celebrate by going to dinner at Buca di Beppo and sitting in the kitchen! What fun we had!!

Nate's 1st Soccer Game

Nate is trying his hand (or foot) at indoor soccer this winter!! He had his 1st game last weekend and I thought he was awesome!!! He did an awful lot of flirting as well as playing......

Thanksgiving '08~

We had a GREAT day yesterday!!! I think the pictures speak for themselves!!! It is the first time in a long time that this whole clan has been together and there were many, many laughs!!! I am soooo thankful for my family!!!

For historical purposes....

Two weeks ago, Kay and I made her 2nd softball related injury trip to the ER. Long story short, she took a line drive to the ankle/shin and wasnt able to bear weight at all. Xrays were negative, it took a week to get her back on her feet, and she is completely healed!! PTL!! We are thankful that she drinks about 32 oz of milk a day and her bones are nice and sturdy!!!

"Isnt this great?!?!"

We went away last weekend to Chincoteague to 'close up' the camper. It rained a WHOLE LOT while we were there but honestly, it was one of the best weekends we had all year! Maybe, this was because I was able to read 2 books and drink coffee with my mom...... or, just because we got good quality family time in!! Marsh was able to change my brakes while we were there, we made it to the beach for a picnic lunch and the boys played in a really big puddle...er, lake....in front of our camper. Nate even asked if they could put on their bathing suits!! "Buddy, I didnt even bring suits!!" Thankfully, it was very warm on Saturday and I just figured "why not?? Let them play in the water!!" We are already longing for next season......
