Lily's Party Slide Show

Lily's Cat and Mouse Birthday Party

Dear sweet Lily Angelica.   I remember the day you were born.  I kept baby Elijah until time to come up to the hospital.   There  you were in your mother's arms .... so pink and pretty ... a beautiful gift from God.  Now you are eleven years old.  And time will fly by faster and faster.   Enjoy every moment of it, Lily.  Before long you will be experiencing the world in a whole new way...the grown up way.  Enjoy your young life every single day!

A Contribution of Gingerbread Houses From Asheville

Aunt Sommer sent me these photos from Ava and Carson making Gingerbread Houses at school -- without gingerbread.    Asheville is where the great Gingerbread House contest is displayed ever year.  It is something to see!

Devin & Hailey Complete Their Gingerbread House

I found another Gingerbread House

When we came to Plano, Sydney had made a gingerbread house also.

And the"Mondo Monkey" stories never end.

Sydney insist on Papa's stories every night. 

But then Blakely has her own story hour.
