45 minutes left!

It's currently 11:15 p.m. have not seen this time in a while!! We had an INCREDIBLE Christmas Day!! We spent the day at home playing with the kids new toys and we even ALL got a nap in!! I am typing this post on my new MAC. THANKS DAD! It is such a blessing to have a brand new AWESOME computer. our old one is a joke!

We feel so blessed on this day. We are so fortunate to leave near family, who are our best friends. We have one more Christmas celebration tomorrow. We are going to meet mimi and poppy at perkins rowe. we are going to see "the princess and the frog" and then eat pizza and open the last round of presents.

Still have to put together Gabby's 3 story barbie doll house! that may take some time!!

It's Friday! welll...sort of!

Last day of work before Christmas! Gabby is SOO excited this year. Every year becomes more and more magical for her! I just hope I did not blow it this year....she found the wrapped Santa presents I so strategically placed under my bed! I had to quickly come up with a believable story, though I am not so sure she believed me! We will find out on Christmas morning! I would not put it past my little four year old to figure it all out!

it's been a while!

so, apparently i am not too good at this blogging thing....it has only been OVER A YEAR since my last post! funny, it feels like only yesterday. 2009 has absolutely flown by. it has been a crazy, busy, wonderful year!! We are looking forward to celebrating Christmas next week! We continue to feel so blessed and are so thankful to be surrounded by our family. I promise to try and do better with this thing! Not that it matters......it is all on facebook anyway!

I am ready to give thanks already...

HA! That is just my way of saying I am ready for Thanksgiving to be here! This short week is feeling like an eternity! We will be traveling to McComb, MS for Thanksgiving to be with my Granny who is not doing very well. So sad to see her so dramatically decline in less than a years time. She has provided such wonderful Thanksgiving meals for us for so many years, I feel so blessed to be able to provide for her this year. Ashley (my cousin) and I coordinated to get everything we would need for an appropriate feast! Just got to go get the groceries tonight!

The HPC Thanksgiving Outreach at the Baton Rouge Dream Center was great. We delivered meals to 3 families. I only wish we could have handed out more. Next year we will. With this being our first year we really had no idea what to expect.

Gearing up for the holidays!

I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK! This year we are so excited to be delivering meals with our church. We are going Saturday morning and then going to New Orleans (i think) to watch the game with our friends Jourdan and Beth and their new little one, Meg. We are going to bring them some chili! Boy is it nice not to have to worry about dinner with a newborn in the house!

I am also looking forward to the Saturday after Thanksgiving when I and Carter's sisters are having a girls day out! Thanks for watching the kids, babe. I promise you can play golf after :)

Life is about to get more interesting.

Well, it is official. Andrew is crawling! from this moment on life is going to get more hectic...i can tell already. It is welcome, though. One step (crawl) toward independence. No more setting him down and walking away. Time to BABYPROOF!

ELECTION DAY!

Getting up EARLY to vote before work tomorrow. Praying for the election tonight. No matter the outcome, God is in control. He has known who will win before the candidates were even chosen. He will not change and we will not change in Him. GO MCCAIN!
