Merry Christmas 2009!

What a wonderful Christmas! As most of you know we just moved (ahhh!) Seemed like we would not be able to be "settled" in time for Christmas let alone get a tree...but we did it! And we had a blast! The boys were so into the reason for the season this year...praise God! We took them shopping again (at the dollar store) to get each family member a gift and they wrap them themselves in goodie bags...it is Always our first gifts to open and our favorite!!! they get so excited to pass them out and see each person reactions...some examples for this year are...a fly swatter for my mom ...a rat trap for papa...and a baby doll for daddy ("because he loves babies"). You should have seen his face when he opened it and looked at me like I was telling him something..it was so funny! ..I was NOT telling him "something".

My mom gets the boys matching Christmas PJ's each year!

Our tree...we had to get a real tree because we couldn't find our fake in ALL the moving boxes!

Happy New Year!

When did you get so big? Just looking at my boys this weekend and wondering where time has gone....I looked at my char char and and started to think about him starting K!!! His sweet spirit and love of life and being outside he never fails to surprise me with his knowledge and his love for God! And my Collie 3!! can't believe how funny he is..I need to start posting pictures of his daily outfit choices...this would have NEVER worked in B-Ham! Guess he was always a Florida boy because seasons and "matching" make no difference to him! Rain boots and shorts are his favorite...he never fails to make me smile and laugh and want to just pick him up and kiss his face (which he hates). And my sweet "baby chase" what a gift....looking into the blue blue eyes you would never know he is ours..but when you see him WALK..yes I said walk...into the room dancing to his own lil song you KNOW he is! He is such a great lil man with a sweet and silly smile always happy and loves his big brothers! How can he already be one? Thank you God for these boys...I am truly blessed! (can you slow done on the growing though?...please!)

Matt gets a weekly email for dads and was telling me about a email that suggested filling a container (one for each child) with the number of marbles matching the number of weeks until your child is 18 ...this takes some math but i think is worth it....every Monday before work take out one marble and you will be amazed how quickly the marbles disappear...wow visual reminder to spend TIME! We only have them under our roof for so long let's cherish it!

the "dad" email is from www.fathers.com ...Matt loves it if you want to pass it on.
