Literally speaking...


As most of you know, Isaac is a very literal thinker. You say Homework. That means you have to do it at home, you get the picture. So, he had this worksheet to do for school that asked him to decide whether each sentance was a good choice or a bad choice. One of the sentances said "Taking a bath", He immediately responded "Bad choice." I laughed thinking this was because he figured baths takes up to much of his precious time. I asked him whey he thought that would be a bad choice and he responds... Taking means stealing and I would never steal someone's bath. What more can I say, that is classic Isaac.

So girly


Avri is just about the girlest girl I know. She is always wanting to put on make up, fix her hair, pick out her own outfits. It is really cute most days, but on those busy days it can drive you a little crazy. Last night after her bath she said, "Mamma, lets put my hair in a towel like you, won't that be PERFECT?" So, that is what we did. We put up out hair in towels, painted toenails, and had a little spa day of our own. It was really fun and she looked just so cute. We had to use a dishtowl so that it would fit her tiny little head.

Head over heels


So, Isaac's new obsession is learning to stand on his hands. I have no idea where he got this from, but he spends hours propping up on walls and almost breaking his neck to accomplish this new dream. He cracks me up!

Drum rolll please.....




Okay, lots of you have been asking.... so here are some pics. We are still under construction, but it is really starting to look like a kitchen. We are awaiting some molding on the cabinets, some trim, and a backsplash and we will be ready!


I am sooo excited. You cannot fully understand the beauty of a functional kitchen until you have been without it for .... oh, two years?!?!


Tell me what ya think!

I love a parade!





This year Avri and I participated in the Annual Alabaster Christmas Parade with MOMS Club. We had a great time. Avri LOVED throwing candy to all of the kids and singing Christmas carols. Although we ran out of candy half way through, we filled the streets with our beautiful voices by singing christmas songs we only knew half of the words to. My favorite was the 12 days of Christmas, I believe we made it to 5 before we started making up our own words!

God has blessed us with such a wonderful life and I want to share it with you!
