Making Progress

An Early Christmas Gift

Thanks so much Tim and Kathi for the wonderful Christmas gift. Our kiddos love it! I am sure there will be many happy memories made enjoying your gift!

STRIKE A POSE

Uncle Al comes to town

We had a really great time with Alex, Andy's brother a couple weeks ago. The weather was perfect for an airboat ride with our small group from church...we saw lots of alligators!
Andy and Alex got to see a WVU game while in town. It was a great game and Andy loved having another WVU fan to celebrate the victory with.

And EG and Jack loved their time with Alex. Here's Emma Grace directing the clearing out of a part of our yard for a secret gift coming soon!
What a pleasure to have you with us Uncle Al!

Doodle Jump

Uncle Al introduced our kiddos to Doodle Jump on the IPhone. Sorry to say we will probably never have a cool phone like that, kiddos. But that's just one more thing to enjoy when Uncle Al is around! Our kiddos loved their time with him two weeks ago! More pics of our time to come!

Celebrating Jack

Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother's womb.
I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I'd even lived one day.

Your thoughts—how rare, how beautiful!
God, I'll never comprehend them!
I couldn't even begin to count them—
any more than I could count the sand of the sea.
Oh, let me rise in the morning and live always with you!

Too Cool for School?

Not this little guy. He LOVES school. His best friend at school is a little girl named Elena. They've been in the same class for 2 years now. And his precious teacher, Mrs. Pike is as loving and warm as Jackie boy is, so it's a great match! As much as he loves time with his mom, I am pretty sure this guy would go to school everyday of the week if I let him! He's so social, like his Daddy and I think he comes alive being around other kids. I'm so grateful that our preschool has been such a wonderful fit for both our kids.
