Our Family

We have began some new friendships with our cul-de-sac neighbors so we had them all over for dinner and cookie decorating. It was really fun and nice time to gather and fellowship. I think all the kids had a good time and playing in Evey's playhouse and getting pretty messy.

Last week began beautifully with my sweet husband bringing home these gorgeous roses for me. Evey took some time to smell them. Beautiful...roses are still doing wonderful. (from Sam's for any husbands reading this...great price too)


Then the week tanked...Evey started throwing fits. At least James and I know have a game plan on what to do when the terrible twos start. On Thursday...we were supposed to drive to DC to have an appointment with Evey's new specialist. She fell down the stairs...oh yea...all the way down. She bounced right back up only cried for a few seconds. I checked everything out, no bumps, no breaks, no cuts. Ok we are fine. I get in the car we start down the road, then she throws up. Which is a big no no when talking about possible head injury. Ok, so we whip around go to the emergency room. Evey gets a cat scan and everything is fine, but better to be safe then sorry. So we are fine and she only have one small bruise on her rib cage area.

1. You should now be able to add our blog to Google Reader subscriptions

2. Comments on photos...Why do comments go below the photos on a blog?
We all scroll down the page to read the post. Come to the picture and scroll further down to read about the picture and sometime back up to see the picture. It just makes more sense to me to post the description above the photo so that you read about the picture then you see the picture. I am literally the only one of us that does this. I would love to hear logic on this. Please post your comments.

Saw this and thought it was cute

Jesus Is The Reason

In Bethlehem, God gave to us
The source of Christmas joy;
A star shown on a miracle:
The virgin birth of a boy. He was born both God and man,
A Savior for us all,
The way to get to our heavenly home,
If we just heed His call. So as we shop and spend and wrap
And enjoy the Christmas season,
Let's keep in mind the sacred truth:
Jesus is the reason. By Joanna Fuchs
