Finally...!

A family picture where we're all smiling!!!



Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

"Dear God...."

I just wanted to jot this down before I forget it. The cute little day-to-day things that these little ones say are just too precious to forget. I need to be better about it because I know one day they will be having adult conversations with me and I'll miss these toddler-isms.

At night, after we get Jackson in bed we say prayers. He gets to choose whether we say them or he says them. Lately he's been wanting to say prayers himself and here's how about how they go...

Jackson: "Dear God, thank you for our blessings and thank you for Mommy and Daddy and Jackson and Carter and thank you for the food on our table and thank you for letting us have a good day today and thank you for our family in heaven and thank you for letting there not be monsters and dinosaurs in my closet tonight. Amen."

How cute is that? I have had to try really hard not to laugh at the end of his prayers. I hope I remember all of these cute little things once they hit the teenage years :-)

Recent Pictures

OK, since I am so far behind on blogging, I figured I'd try and do this in 2 posts instead of one since so much has been going on. Here's some pics and I'll add the story behind them in another post. They are pictures from Jackson's school Christmas program, making gingerbread houses with their cousins, wrestling with Uncle Michael, and reject Christmas card pics. Be back soon....all we really care about is pictures anyways, right?!
