1st Christmas and Birthday

We have had LOTS of fun this past week driving and having many celebrations. We had 2 Christmases AND 2 Birthday parties. You can't beat that. Caleb couldn't wait to open a present so he could hurry on to the next one. Peyton couldn't wait for Caleb to drop the ribbon and paper so she could play with it. Fun was had by all. We haven't gone for our check-up yet, so I don't know her measurement yet but I think we will still be in the small range. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year!

1st family photo

This is our first attempt at a family photo. It went pretty well, because of our sweet friend Brenda who is very patient and flexible! It was 45 degrees and VERY windy! FUN!

Hope everyone has a fun , safe and tasty Thanksgiving!

Home photo shoot

These are my favorites!

9 months

We had to show our ACU pride for her 9 month picture. Peyton was 18 lbs and 26 1/2 in. I can still squeeze her into some 3 month clothes! We got some yucky news with this check-up. Peyton has hip dysplagia. We are going to see an ortho specialist at Children's in Dallas on the 30th this month to see what we will do next. I don't like our options. I hope and pray that we get great news and we don't have to do anything!

I love those beautiful eyes!

Hunker Down

Well, We survived the eye of the storm and no TV!! Caleb decided that he knew how to hunker down during the storm. We actually had a pretty fun time playing to candlelight.
We jumped, wrestled and snuggled in our pile of soft stuff. Right now this is ALOT more fun than a tent. It is too tempting to just pull the tent down as it is being put up.

I love this picture! I can just see a future teenager in that same position and we will probably still have that chair too! Thanks Mike and Coleenie!

Here is our sweet girl who is 8 1/2 mo old and has perfected crawling in 2 days. She took her first crawling steps on Wed and crawled to Caleb across the living room today. I am glad everything is still crawler proof. We had to lower the crib last night. I am glad we did because I found her standing up after her nap today. It is going by too fast!

First day of school

What a big boy!! Monday was Caleb's first day of school(mothers day out). He goes two days a week from 9:00-2:30. So far, he is not ready to leave when we come to pick him up. I guess that is a good thing. I can't believe how fast it flies by.

Thank you God for the blessing of children and the time that we get to spend with them. Please help me to not take this precious time for granted.

Fun Together!

I love this picture. We always have to have close togetherness. I love it! Here are a few fun in the yard pictures. Caleb likes to be sure that Peyton is having as much fun as she can stand. She takes it pretty well.
