reading books

Reagan will actually get kinda still for a good book. She even tries to flip the pages and like to touch the pictures. In two weeks she will be five months old!

Im so in love with this little girl! Reagan you make life so wonderful for mommy and daddy. You have gotten so strong! You used to cry and scream when you were on your tummy...but not anymore! Now you smile big when you look up at us as if to say --look what I can do! Oh you are a joy!

Amanda is married!

We got to travel across Texas to watch one of my sweetest friends get married! It was so fun catching up with college friends...it never fails, we always have fun together!

Congratulations to A and C....we couldn't be more happy to watch two of our favorite people tie the knot! Here's to many wonderful years to come!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

What a wonderful year 2010 has been to us. The Lord made it possible for us to make two more moves away from Texas, to Florida, and then back to Texas for a second time. He plucked our sweet angel from Heaven and sent her down for us to care for, and He led Eric and I through flight school, and helped him earn his wings! We were able to make trips home to visit family a couple of times, and we made some great new friends in Texas and Florida.

Reagan hit the four month mark and hit many milestones along the way. We are still in awe everytime we look at her sweet face. I have never understood Gods love more than when I look into her deep blue eyes. As much as we are in love with our sweet baby..... how much more is His love for us! May we never forget the power and majesty of the One who knit us together.

This is my prayer for the New Year....less talk and more action. We can say the right things all day long, but unless our actions match our words we are hypocrites!

Lord empower us to be more like You. Kind in spirit, and mighty in power.

We have been truly blessed and we will never forget how special 2010 was for our family.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Naval Aviator

I am so proud of my husband. He received his Wings of Gold and became a Naval Aviator.

We love you honey--we could not ask for a better husband/Daddy/Uncle/brother/brother in law/son in law/son. We support you and pray that the Lord continues to bless your career with the Corps.

OOh rah and Semper Fi.

I'm melting!

Hello December

We got our Christmas tree up! We bought a real tree again and it sure is pretty! I can't believe it's our third Christmas together already.

Also, Grace is terrified of yard decorations. Especially those giant blow up ones that sorta bob and weave in the wind. Grace no likey.

Man blowing up his giant snowglobe: "Your dog is so cute! Honey-- come look at this sweet little dog!"

Grace: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....(ruffled back hair).... grrrrrrrrr wooof grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Me: Walking faster to avoid the above reaction from Grace the attack russell.

Dogs do the darndest things.

(For those of you waiting on pins and needles to find out how this story ends, no, the giant snowglobe did not come and attack us as Grace anticipated.)
