Winter 2009-2010

I can't believe its almost Spring. It has been an amazing first few months of 2010. There has been many blessings, both Caleb and Matthew are growing into healthy boys. There has also been challenges, my grandaddy Bill has come very close to leaving us this year but God gave him more time with us until he takes him home. I have learned so much in these past few months with friends of the family passing way. Mary Hayes one of the family's once close friend passed away at 59, way to young to leave this earth. Through all these hard lessons I've learned that our life is so unexplained, the stepping stones we have in life encourages us to grow in faith and to cherish everything we are given.

On a less serious note, I'm finishing up the last year of college, thank you God! Matthew is doing fantastic in First grade and is in the art club (my little artists).. Caleb is growing at record speed and has put enought weight on to support two boys his age:) Josh has just transferred to a new position and really enjoys it. The new shift is tough but nothing we can't get through.
We started going to a new chruch, Celeration church. I like it! Its more different than any of the churches we have gone too, very neat. I hope to see my brother this week so he can go with us. I plan on posting more pics. I'm going to set a goal to post atleast once a week at night while Josh is gone. Until next time...

P.S. My friend printed a book of her posts, I def envy that and will try and do the same...thanks Jamie for the idea, your so savy!

Christmas 2009

Here are a few pictures from our Christmas 2009. We had an early Christmas dinner with my brother Chris then went to Christmas Eve service. We had a great Christmas with lots of fun gifts and friends.

Funny Story of Matthew after school today

Caleb is happy we are going to pick up Matty. Anyhow below is the adventure of picking up Matty and going home today. Funny episode at that.
On our way in the house Matty picked up the mail. He started hitting his leg, he had red ants all over his legs, shoes and shirt. Those ants were super fast. Any way, I told him to strip down, so right there in our driveway laid his clothes, Matty ran in with only his underware on, it was very funny.

Halloween 2009

Our Halloween day started on a Saturday. First we watched the Florida vs. Georgia game with Chris. Florida Gator's won of course and then we were on our way with our neighbors to trick or treat! We were pooped afterwards so we went to bed.

Video of Caleb at 3 months.

One of the most precious moments of having my Caleb is seeing him smile. Its a rarity but melts my heart every time.

Videos of the boys

Some videos of Caleb and Matty. Caleb was just born so he is about 3 weeks and Matty is 6! August 2009

Anderson Visit and Meet Caleb.

Mom, Dad, Jon, Amanda, Court and Michelle came to visit Chris and us in September. We ate lunch with Matthew at school, stayed a night at the beach and bbq'd with Chris at his house. We enjoyed just being a family:) Here are some pics of their visit.
