Art?

Grandma, hope you like the "pictures" I drew for you on my walls. Don't worry, mom told me I should only draw on paper - maybe next time. Love, Abel

SNOW!!!

Abel has been waiting for snow all day and it's finally here!!!! One good thing about living in Durham is that you get MORE snow :-) We already have at least a 1/2 inch accumulation and it is still coming down heavily.

Being a boy

Abel had a great day at the park today. Unexpectedly his cousins
Lilly, Hannah, and Martha were there so it was a "maximum fun day," as
Sonya put it. It was fun seeing them playing around together. My
favorite part was when Abel and Hannah were running down a hill and
Abel did a face plant in the dirt, getting some in his mouth. He
looked up at Hannah concerned, but she just said, "it's ok, just spit
it out of your mouth," as she helped him up.

For DaDa

DaDa, heard you were having a rough day. Hope this picture makes you smile.

Vin Rouge

We went out tonight to a French restaurant with my sisters and their
spouses. It was really fun.

Still loving Christmas

I love my family.

Merry Christmas

I love my family.

Christmas Cookies

William, Martha, and Julia had us over today to messy their kitchen and have some fun making Christmas cookies. The boys did a great job. Abel most enjoyed dumping all the sprinkles out and William enjoyed cutting, and re-cutting the cookie dough. We had a great time - thanks Moore family :-)

Awesome

This is awesome on so many levels. This should make his uncle Curtis
proud.

Charlotte's Stats

Charlotte went to the doctor today for her 6 month check up (she is 7 months). She continues to be over the 100th percentile for weight (21 lb 5 oz) and length (29 in). Her head is in the 75th percentile. Charlotte did great at the appointment and only cried a little after her shots. The doctor said she looked great , and that she was the average size of a one year old :-) We did get a prescription ointment to hopefully help with her dry skin issues, but other than that she is perfect. We are so thankful for our sweet girl. Charlotte smiles and laughs easily and is great at falling asleep quickly. We love her sooo much and praise the Lord for the blessing of sweet Charlotte Elizabeth.

The Family

Sweet Charlotte

We had a great time at Pullen Park this Sat. for William's birthday. More pics to come soon (i hope) but this is a favorite of me and that sweet thang' :-)

Charlotte - Six Months!

Charlotte turned 6 months yesterday so we thought it was time to eat some big girl food. She is so sweet, cute and snugly. She is a pretty good sleeper and a great eater and didn't mind the mush for the first time. Charlotte has beautiful bright eyes like her big bro Abel. She is a blessing to our family and we are thankful for every minute with her. Hope you enjoy some new pics. :-)

Rahhrrr!

Too cute.

One Year Ago

Unbelieveable

Woodchucks

Buddies

William brought Abel a sweet pair of overhalls to borrow so that they could be the same. We tried a little photo shoot, but William wasn't that interested and Abel just wanted to run around.

Either way we have some handsome boys!

CHARLOTTE

Our pretty little thang at 5 months :-)

Seafood Buffet

That is Tommy greeting us at our dinner location last night. It was
both the most expensive (thank you Billy) and best seafood buffet I've
ever had. I ate more seafood than I ever had before, yet at the end of
the meal I was not stuffed. Tommy claimed he was the world's largest
crab, but I was doubtful (he looked likea sailor).
