Sweet Childhood

Do you ever find yourself feeling extra sentimental? I've had one of those weeks this week -

 I loved watching Kate feed her baby.

   I loved our fun morning of crafts & baby dolls.

I love watching David play with the Taggy blanket that Michael played with too.

 I love this sweet face & his toothless baby grins.

 I loved finding Michael's Santa Dog, Birdie & Bear all tucked in for the day on his bed when I got home from taking him to school. 

 I love the small Christmas tree in Michael & Kate's bathroom. It had a few ornaments on it and as they have brought home Christmas crafts from church & school, I have added them to the tree. 

I love our sweet boy - 5 years old in 7 weeks! Now that's just crazy!!

David is 7 Months Old! 12-11-11

Seven Months?!? How can it be?!? He is doing a funny thing this week - sucking on his bottom lip. I think it must have something to do with his two bottom teeth getting ready to come in. David had fun this afternoon being the conductor on the "train." Kate & Michael took turns conducting, working on the engine and being passengers. Of course Minnie, Bear & many others joined the train as well. And at one point Michael made a rule that you had to be wearing a hat to ride the train. Too funny. They LOVED this - it was fun watching them play pretend :)

Cousin Henry!

Hey everyone! Michael here! I am SO excited to tell you that Kate, David & I have a cousin!! Our first one! His name is Henry & he was born on Nov. 27th. He lives far away but we really hope to meet him soon! Isn't he cute?! We love you Matt, Manda & Henry! 

David's Baby Dedication

Yesterday was David's baby dedication at church. 

 Thank you Papa Karrol for driving up to be here with us! 

Pastor Ben prayed for our sweet children to know the Lord, love Him with all their hearts & to serve Him all their days. The verse we had read for David is 1 John 3:1 - How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! We chose this verse because David means "beloved, greatly loved." We love you David & we thank God for putting you in our family!!

My how time flies - it was yesterday that we were dedicating Michael & Kate. 

Michael's Christmas Program

 Michael had his Pre-K Christmas program on Thursday night. The kids did great! The best part was watching all the kids wave to their parents from stage - so cute :)
