Christmas 2008

Our family Christmas picture was taken by Will's wonderful mom last week. She takes the best pics. It is so hard to get everyone to look at the camera and smile at the same time! Especially with a baby! So this is the one that we ended up chosing for our card.....finally. I like to do everything last minute you know. Including my shopping! Ugghh. I am getting that done on Wed. Wish me luck!

Live Nativity

Our church is having a live nativity this year and I am so excited! I have been going there since I was born and I don't ever remember us having one! So this year we decided to do it. Will and I are going to be Mary and Joseph.(no speaking or singing for us!!haha) We are Baptist so OF COURSE we are eating afterwards! Please join us as we celebrate our Savior's birth! It is at Bethany Baptist Church in Bishopville. Our beautiful old church is pretty far out in the country, so if you need directions just let me know! And be sure to stay for yummy barbeque afterwards! SATURDAY DECEMBER 20TH AT 6:00PM. Merry Christmas!

Elliott is 3 months old!

I can't believe how fast our little girl is growing!! She is smiling and laughing so much. At her last checkup she weighed almost 13 pounds! She has been sleeping through the night for a few weeks now and that is just awesome. (I probably just jinxed myself bigtime) I remember being so nervous about having another baby. Will I be able to love her just as much as Connor? Can I handle another one? Will I remember what to do? As soon as I held her, all of the feelings flooded back from the first delivery. That instant love and joy. And at that moment, my heart made plenty of room for her too. Having 2 kids is definitely different, but so wonderful! I am so thankful that God chose us to be parents of these two beautiful angels. We could not ask for more! Here are some updated pics of my little monkeys.

Halloween

I have been without a computer and it is about to kill me!! I am so used to checking out the blogs everyday!! I have been using Will's work computer when it is available. I am finally posting some halloween pics!My Optimus Prime! Maddie, Jack, and Connor Our sweet little pumpkin

Field Trip!!

Connor's K-4 class at Robert E. Lee went on their first field trip of the year today!! We went to the pumpkin patch in Mcbee and had a blast!! They got to hear a couple of stories about pumpkins and how they grow and then off for the hayride to pick out their very own pumpkins. It was pretty chilly, but we really had fun. Then of course we had to purchase some goodies from inside!! Connor and Lacie

Fall fun at Prestwood

We had such a great time at the Prestwood country club wiener roast!! They also had a hayride that Connor loved! Elliott came along too, but headed back home with YaYa during the hayride. It got a little too cool for her and I think she had enough by that time!!

camping trip

We took a little weekend camping trip to the mountains a few weekends ago. Elliott stayed with my mom, but next year she will definitely go!! We wanted to take Connor to Ghost Town in Maggie Valley. We had so much fun and it made me remember going there when I was little!! We stayed in my grandparents pop-up camper, which Connor loved!! Sure beats a tent! The weather was perfect and the leaves were just starting to change colors.
