IT'S A..........

                                                                BOY!!!!!!!
Today we were thrilled to find out we have a HEALTHY little BOY on the way...of course nobody is probably quite as thrilled as Ryan.  He literally started pumping his fists in the air when the Doctor said BOY!  Taylor is excited and was saying "It's a boy..a boy a boy" as we walked out of the hospital.  As Ryan told his parents, it's time to get out those bats, balls and mitts...

Can you say Trooper!?

My Grandpa the Trooper...just 4 days after open heart surgery and at the age of 89 Grandpa is starting the long road to recovery with a smile on his face.  What an inspiration to all of us.

Sister and Grandpa you are in my prayers today, tomorrow and always...

This is my amazing little sis, serving the Lord in Egypt.  Yes, those are real pyramids behind her and that is a real Egyptian camel.  I miss her everyday but I am so proud of her and the work she is doing. 

Grandpa just had open heart surgery yesterday at the age of 89 and we are all praying that his recovery will go well.  It's been a slow start so far but we are just so thankful the Lord saw him through a successful surgery. 

The stockings were hung...

Tis the season....and I love it! 

  



CK this one is for you...now you will know where I am when I am chatting with you! :)

Thankful.

Once again this year we had so much to be thankful for at Thanksgiving!  We were thrilled to host Thanksgiving for the Dearinger family at our house in The Big and had a great time just enjoying time together.  We ended up having a VERY white Thanksgiving and we were incredibly thankful that the traveling both to and from our house ended safely.  Taylor loved having all of the family together and was quite excited to have an early Christmas with her Uncle Bryan and Aunt Courtney.  Ryan was thankful he got all the Christmas lights up outside before the snow came and I was just thrilled to get my Christmas decor up inside!  Tay had her first visit of the year with Santa and enjoyed her first sledding excursion! I must mention that Ryan was VERY thankful that the UTES won the Holy War...and so am I because he is a beast to be around when they don't!  Thanks to everyone for making the long and somewhat scary trip over here...we loved having you in The Big and can't wait to see you again!
