It's the most wonderful time of the year...


It's hard to believe we're already upon the holiday season. The leaves are starting to change and the air has a crisp feel to it...my favorite time of year. I've already started humming Christmas tunes. Tommy (a.k.a. Mr. Scrooge) makes me wait until after Thanksgiving to turn on the music in the house and car, but the songs are already in my heart (and sometimes in my cd player when Tommy's not around...don't tell him :) I know I may be a little premature, but when the cold weather hits, I just can't help myself!
So much has happened within the last couple of months...we are finally settled in West Virginia, and both Tommy and I are working at the church. Lots of busy craziness, but we are loving every minute of it. Karleigh is "growing like a weed." Already four months old! Hard to believe. Kolton is as silly as ever - I love the constantly talking phase he's into these days. "I do it, Mommy" seems to be his favorite :) My little Mr. Independent. Honestly, I know all you moms out there know what I'm talking about, but it is so much fun just to sit and talk to your children...he has a hilarous sense of humor, and when you start laughing at him, watch out! He goes on and on. Even at two he comes up with the funniest things!


We had his birthday at Chuck E Cheese this year, and he had a blast...Karleigh, not so much. It was too loud and too bright for her taste. Kolton's cousins came and we had a great time.
We were able to dedicate Karleigh to the Lord at church last Sunday night. It was such a special time, as my parents were able to come up for the event. It is a solemn reminder the great responsibility the Lord has placed upon us to raise our children in a godly way! What a precious gift He has given!
Kolton was in his first church program last Sunday. I watched him during practice and was a little nervous how he would react to all those people in the congregation, but he did fine. He just stood beside his little friend Stacey and sucked his thumb most of the time.
I hope all of you have a blessed day!!!
