We all received the surprise of our lives yesterday! You remember a few posts ago when I said it would be nice if the newest little Miles would arrive before we left? Well, he came on December 23 . . . but they didn’t tell us then. They just brought him over when they came […]
Last night we went to the Lamb’s home for a delicious southern dish – Frogmore Stew. It has become an annual Miles/Lamb Family tradition . . . which we absolutely love!! They are just such a beautiful family and so sweet! We really enjoyed the meal (it was shrimp, sausage, potatoes, and corn cooked to […]
The girlies did some serious cookie baking and decorating today!! We are making goody baskets to give out when we go carolling tomorrow night I think I will now appreciate homemade, especially “home-decorated,” cookies even more! Caily is sicky. . . pray she’ll feel better soon! She hasn’t slept well in several days. Her Daddy […]
These first 4 pics don’t really go with this post, but I finally caught Colt playing with his toes and watching/talking to his hands . . . it’s so funny to watch them discover new parts of themselves that have always been there I can’t count the number of times I find Colt doing this […]
Well, after spending the weekend with our “Beckley family” (the Hogans – thank you for the wonderful hospitality and fun cookie baking), we arrived here in South Carolina Sunday night around 11:30 pm. It’s been semi-quiet with just David’s parents, our family, and Daniel . . . but that will all change after tonight, and […]
These are pics from Friday of Colt (4 months), Sarah (7 months), and Jacob, Sarah’s brother, (8 years old). Since we are on the topic of Christmas again, I bought a gift certificate to a restaraunt for someone’s Christmas present the other day that had a catchy slogan on the front. However, I don’t think […]
This is my dear friend Heather and her husband Ricky. Heather and I became friends July 4, 2001 (I know because . . . well, we just never forgot it!). Anyways, we lived close growing up and became the best of friends. We didn’t go to school together, but we were inseparable. I remember during […]
I must say that my husband has become quite the deer slayer. . . while I was happy for him, proud of him, and thankful for the meat – I never really considered myself much of a hunter. My dad had taught me how to shoot a .22 (little) rifle back in 9th or 10th […]
Colt has started sitting up this past week! Well, it’s more like “propping” up or the tripod position. But he’s on his way nonetheless! He’s also sleeping from 8:30-8. . . no more feedings, just some passy insertions. He is on a 4 hour schedule too with two 2 hour naps and a short one […]
I have really enjoyed my devotions here recently. David and I just finished reading the book of Job and started in Luke for the month of December. It was refreshing and exciting to read about the birth of Christ with the Christmas season coming up. However, I was in Luke 4 today. This is the […]
