Happy Halloween!

We took Jackson to the fall festival at our church tonight. He ran around like a maniac for about 45 minutes, got about six pieces of candy and then we left. I think he had fun :) The first pic is with one of the Liberty Ridge residents who was dressed up as a sheriff.









And just to give you a peek back to last year in October, Jackson couldn't even sit up yet. Crazy what a difference a year makes!

Welcome Back

So, as I said earlier, it's been a while, huh? I really hope to keep up this time and use this blog to keep family and friends updated with what's going on with us and of course share pics of the cutest kid on earth! Over the next several weeks, I'm going to attempt to write a series on the last pregnancy and share our story of what happened in the birth of our twins. Not so much for anyone's sake except my own. I really feel like I need to get some details down on paper (or virtually) so that I have a good remembrance in years to come of what we experienced and what God brought us through. And he is still bringing us through the hard times, the unexpected bouts of grief amplified, the seemingly random episodes of crying - you know, life stuff. As well as the joys (and hard times) of raising a toddler and looking forward to another wee one early next year. We are blessed and pray you will be as well as you join us on our journey.

October 2010

So obviously it's been awhile since I've last posted, but hopefully the new design will keep me motivated to keep it updated and current. Hopefully. Enjoy some shots of J helping carve pumpkins last night.

Blog Name?

Any creative ideas for a new blog name? Totally uncreative me can't come up with anything, but my creative husband has a couple that just might work. Not sure what's in store for today - need to run a couple of errands but we'll be going out tomorrow for a doctor's appointment so maybe I should wait and do them all together ... I guess it will depend on when I get to take a shower today. I can't believe how precious my time in the shower is ... it's usually taken during Jackson's first nap, which is right now. But here I sit .. ask me later if I regret that decision. Have a great Wednesday!

Happy Tuesday

Hope you all have a great day - J is still asleep, which is highly unusual at this time. I'll be tackling another room to clean today, hopefully more like two: living room and second bathroom. We'll see how far I get. And what to fix for dinner? Hmmm ...

He is able to do immeasurably more than we can think or imagine - remember that today no matter what you're doing, whether you go to work or stay at home. Pray for his presence in the responsibilities that you have ... he'll always do more than we could ask or imagine!

Blessings,
K

Before and After

So for some reason one of the pictures didn't get downloaded from my camera - I have a feeling that it could have been operator error but we'll call it a fluke instead :)

Here is the before picture of one half of the room (which coincidentally doesn't even look all that bad) and the after pics. I'll try to do better next time. I guess if you were able to see the inch of dust on the furniture that would have helped my case. I was even able to get all of our drawers reorganized and cleaned the baseboards as well. And of course, one pic of a little guy who didn't want to smile today and one from last week. Poor fella is in need of a haircut - his hair is so unruly and gets so much static it's hard to contain!
