From our front porch looking in...

Evie may have OCD...seriously, she lined all of these fish up in the giftshop at ICE!
Beckett just wanted to eat Rudolph's nose!

Evie trying to slide down the ICE slide...poor thing...it took forever--not quite slippery enough!

The 2 bambinos in their Christmas pajamas!

YUMMY! Carrots...or sweet potatoes...or something orange!

It has been quite a week, month and year for us! We are feeling tired, but so blessed!!!! We have been through some trials, but know that God has given us so many blessings that we don't deserve. These trials have molded our character and strengthened our love for Christ and for one another! Our faith is stretched through these hard times!

I am feeling better today for the first time since the surgery. Still a little tender, but off pain meds. Zach just got into Orlando tonight to join back up with the kids and me. We will stay here for the weekend then are back on the road to Gainesville Sunday. We are certainly looking forward to getting back to "life as usual"--whatever that is!

Beckett will be 10 months old this weekend---WOW! He took a few steps last week, but knows he can crawl faster than he can walk, so he chooses that route. He says, "MA", not sure if he means "mama" or "more"! He still only has 8 teeth. I know, that's still a lot, but no new ones in over a month!

Evie is as lively as ever!!!! She says the funniest things! I need to start videoing them more so I can capture all of those priceless moments! She has been sleeping on my daybed at Mia's house. She is really starting to be such a big girl. She is constantly keeping Beckett in check and letting me know when he is getting into something. Such a good big sister!
