Merry Christmas

This is one of our many attempts to get a family Christmas Card picture....notice Thomas is trying to squirm his way out.

We hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. I truly love this time of season and love the reminders we have been getting through our sermon series at church of what a special and meaningful time this truly is. Without the birth of Christ....where would we all be? I am so thankful for that night, the love, and the hope that came with His birth.
This morning I was reminded of the power of the Holy Spirit...not only at His birth..but still today. One of His many names we call on is -Emanuel-
God with us. Praise God that He is with us!

So...

John's dad finally got back home tonight and we were able to share our newest blessing with them. We met my parents last night and told them.So......

God has blessed us in a wonderful way
Caroline Elizabeth will be here in May!

A sweet little girl to love
Given to us from above.


Honestly, I am still in shock but so excited I can hardly contain myself. We are just so thankful for HIS blessings.

Baby Cross

We were blessed this morning with a healthy baby report. The sonogram looked great. We are still waiting to tell some close family members and then I will post. Thanks for praying for our family during this exciting time.

Just some fun pics

Just some pics of Thomas I wanted to share. Tomorrow is the big day. We get to see our baby for the first time via sonogram. We just pray everything is developed and healthy. The good news is ..that God already has what we need picked out...girl or boy?

And don't worry, we will post the news.

Latest Project

I don't have a picture of what our old front yard looked liked...but picture this..lots of BIG shrubs and then some little ones....so we, well John mostly, took on the front yard this week. He dug up HUGE hollies and bushes that had been in the ground for 30 years. I know it is hard to really see, but we think in a few years it will be pretty.
Thanks big John for working hard all this week and for Chad's advise on what to plant.

Just In Case You Haven't Heard.....

So I stole this from LT's blog. I need to get the pictures taken of Thomas and his cousin at the game from my sister in law. They had such a good time together. They had no idea how important the game was...however, Thomas would clap when everyone cheered. Go DAWGS. We are very proud of our team and our coach! Hopefully this is the beginning of something beautiful for Thomas and he will carry on the tradition of cheering for the DAWGS!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. We hope your day spent with family and lots of reminders of all of God's blessings.




Oh and Go DAWGS....we are headed to the Egg Bowl tomorrow and are so excited. We have been busy teaching Thomas the fight song, how to shake his pom-pom, and lot of other MSU cheers...pics to come.
