Ethan and his friends!

Ethan is SO blessed to have great friends who get to come over and play often. Here are some great shots with some of them....

News of an upcoming trip!

So we've decided to go to Germany!!! We're so excited. We received Jacob's tickets (boarding passes) in the mail...so he's all set to go. Ethan tried to pack himself in one of the suitcases as Bear looked on, so he's ready to go...Tim and I just need to find a way there!!!
Seriously, we're so looking forward to getting there and visiting Phil, Beth, and the girls.

Lots of planning to do and lots of praying to do (who travels to a foreign country with two young children by choice?!?!?) It will all be worth it! We're so looking forward to it and so thankful we can go. More to come......

Christmas continued...at Urgent Care?

Yep! Jacob ended up in Urgent Care because he could hardly breathe. It was a bit of a scary time...but again, you can't tell from the pictures.

Thankfully, we got thru that and still enjoyed the rest of our visit. The kids had a blast at Grammy and Grampy's house and had a great time playing with one another and spending time with aunts and uncles. From the picture...you can tell we wore out Grammy! She did finish the puzzle eventually however!

It really was a great time and a special memory of Jacob and Myah's first Christmas. Lydia and Ethan got to spend their first Christmas together...so it was only fitting that the new babies got to do so.

We're so blessed to have both sets of parents close by and to have such wonderful cousins for our kiddos to grow up knowing. We missed Phil and Beth and their girls...but enjoyed all the German Chocolate Grammy brought back from her visit with them!!

Christmas!

This is crazy...but I'm finally adding Christmas pictures. Jacob learned quickly what opening presents was all about and was anxious to see the next thing. We had a great time with the Quinn's on our way to see the Griffith's. The boys had a lot of fun at Grandma and Grandpas and even though Jacob wasn't feeling so well, you couldn't tell from the pictures.
We left the grand-puppies at mom and dads and went on our way to the Griffith's where we met up with Tim's sister and her family.
