Welcome 2011!

I can't believe so much has happened. We have celebrated Christmas, my Mom's birthday, Finn's birthday, Nemi's birthday, and the SNOW- more snow than I have ever seen in Mississippi. We built snowmen and had snowball fights. Precious memories.

Our holidays this year were wonderful, and different. We awoke to a white Christmas! The first in my memory.  It was a wonderful surprise.
Matt, Leigh and Cameron came to Tupelo on Christmas day, and we had a great time seeing them and learning of the newest addition to the family-

baby Morgan
due in August!
Unfortunately our time with them was short as Cameron woke up with a stomach bug the next day and Mom woke up with terrible bronchitis. Needless to say Matt, Leigh and Cameron packed up and moved on back to GA pretty early on Sunday, but our time was fun while it lasted.

We celebrated with Tim and Anna the day after Christmas, their trip to Tupelo Christmas morning having been cancelled due to the SNOW.  After that came January and yet more SNOW!
January also brought basketball season. Sarah Ryann is playing on the 3rd-6th grade girls team for TCPS, and is having a BALL, quite literally.

I knew that this was going to be a great experience when I heard the Coach ask the girls as they came off the court during half-time of the first game,
"Are you having fun?"

A resounding "YES" was the answer, and is still the answer for each of them.
GO EAGLES!


Then came the January birthdays- Finn on the 12th, Jacq Fortner on the 30th and Norman on the 31st.  We didn't get to celebrate, yet, with Jacq, but we sure did celebrate with Finn and Nemi!

BRING IT ON 2011- IT'S GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR!

Christmas, Christmas Time is Here....

It's Christmas Time! This Season has been filled with so much fun- Gingerbread cookie making, and decorating, Christmas tree ornament making, Christmas tree decorating, Advent calendar surprises, SNOW!,  Lawndale children's Christmas program, Jesus' Birthday celebration at TCPS, daily decrees from Mac that he want "Sanda Caws" to bring him presents, and so many more things. I am so thankful for all of my family and the special joy that each of them brings to my life. I am also thankful for the birth of Jesus and the redemption that He alone can bring. As these last few days before Christmas come to a close I am looking forward to spending some much needed time with my precious family. All the gifts are wrapped, the house is cleaned, and the cooking is finished... time to play! I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.
