Christmas Box

Each year our church sponsors the Samaritan Purse Christmas Box program. It is a wonderful, simple misson project that a family can do together. All you have to do is fill a shoe box with age appropriate items (2-4, 5-9, 10-13), and it is sent somewhere around the world to a child in need.

This year we did a box for a little girl. It just makes me realize how blessed we are, this is probably the only Christmas this little girl will have. Although we don't have clue who will receive our box, my pray is that she will find Jesus and this will brighten her life, if only for 1 day.

Mark and I have been discussing sponsoring a Compassion child. I really think that is something we are going to do for Christmas this year, as a gift to each other. Hope everyone has a good week.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

Things to Come

I didn't realize it had been 10 days since my last post till right now. We have had a very busy sickly past week. Last Sunday Addie got a stomach bug and it lasted all week, she also passed it to everyone around her. Mark had his tonsils out last Tuesday, and it has been a long, slow recovery, but is doing much better.

Since Mark is off work all week I'm taking advantage of the extra help and beginning my party planning.

I order Addie several things off etsy and decided to attempt to make the decorations myself. I can't believe my baby will be 1 in 2weeks. We are going to have family pictures Thurs, so I will try to share those Fri!

11 Months and a Visit From Gavin

We have a busy fun fast few days. Gavin spent the night wed nite. We went to the park yesterday, and he and Addie had so much fun. Granna and P-Paw brought lunch and then stayed and played a little bit.

Wed. nite Gavin and I built a tent and slept in the living room.

Gavin said: It is the best tent he has ever seen!!!!!

Addie loved sliding!!

Gavin was so sweet with Addie.

11 month update:

Addie started walking on Wed. She still isn't really sure about it but is doing great.

Started on whole milk and loves it. We are slowly weaning from the bottle.

Still in size 3 diapers and 9-12 month clothes.

Loves to eat.

Has a temper. She always gets her way!!!!

I love this age, Addie is so much fun. I can't believe it has almost been a year. I am busy planning her birthday party and can't wait to see how excited she will be.

P.S. Please be in pray for us, Mark is getting is tonsils taking out on the 10th. I've heard this can be really painful for an adult!!!!!

Trick or Treat

Addie was not a big fan of trick or treating. Getting in and out og the car 15+ times what not her idea of fun. Mark and I went to a cotume party Frin nite (Addie satyed with granna and ppaw.) As a last minute costume we went as police and inmate!!! Hope every one had a great weekend!!!
