Just watching big brother

Meeting the Big Red Guy!

Jett was very excited to finally meet Santa Claus for the first time. It was all business when he introduced himself and said Merry Christmas. He told Santa that he wanted Big Doc, (the character from the Cars movie) and Elmo. He thought it was pretty great sitting on the Big Red Guys lap, until we went to leave and he still had not received his presents that he asked for! He figured that as soon as he told Santa what he wanted, that Santa would hand those toys right over. Unfortunately, he has to wait a few more days for the big day to arrive! We heard all about his distress over no presents while shopping, all the way out to the car, and home. Oh what fun this season brings, for whom, I am not sure!!!

Sawyer really liked that beard. He is always such a good baby. We never heard a peep out of him. He wasn't scared at all to sit on Santa's lap. And this little clip is when we were toy shopping. Jett just loved ALL the toys! He didnt, however, like leaving all those toys at the toy shop!

Merry Christmas! And to all, a Happy Shopping Experience!

I'm thinking of a White Christmas

The first snowstorm of the year! And the snow is sticking. We were beginning to wonder if we would have a white Christmas. The moment Jett woke up he geared up to play in the snow. The excitement of the first snowfall is contagious!

Our Sweet little Surprise

It was October 27th, just like any other day. I decided to go for a little jog. When I was not to far from home I was astonished to find I was out of breath and very dizzy. Thinking that this was very out of the ordinary, the first thought that went through my head was 'oh my goodness, I am pregnant!' Fighting that outrageous thought out of my head, I went straight home and took a pregnancy test! Yes, I Annalise, Mother of a 3 year old and a 9 month old found myself, once again, 6 weeks pregnant! Sheer panic was my first emotion. This could not be happening! Immediately calling Rhett, he also got the shock of his life. Being the calm, cool, and collected one, he assured me that this was meant to be. Now seeing this little life inside of me growing, I do believe that this is meant to be. We are blessed to have another sweet spirit coming to us straight from heaven on June 17th 2009. This baby will always be

Our Sweet Little Surprise!

For Thy Goodness

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

The big hunt!

The feast, yes we are not all sitting down at the same time, quite impossible with Rhett's family!

The great Christmas Tree hunt.

The Salsa Cook off! And the winner is . . . . Seleste!

Count your blessings instead of your crosses;

Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Count on God instead of yourself.
