Anna Clair's New Look - What do you think??

Anna Clair cut her hair :) She is following in the footsteps of her older sister Emma Grace and her mom. When Emma was 3 she cut her hair as did I at the age of 3. It's tradition :) She cut it twice in one weekend!!! I took her to the salon and she received special treatment!!! She LOVED it!!!

What do you think of her new look?

We are at Tranquility Salon in Valenica.

This is Ms. Karen.

She is all smiles!!!

She is trying to fix the gaps!!

How Cute!!!

For the 1st time she has bangs. Daddy says she looks like

a little old women :) I think she looks just like her Daddy.

Thanks Ms. Karen ;)


How Cute am I ???

Emma Grace & Pledge to the American Flag

Emma Grace's Kindergarten class led the chapel service on Friday the 9th. Emma Grace was chosen to begin the pledge to the American Flag. She said, "pledge to the American flag - ready, begin" She is a natural and enjoyed herself while on stage!!! She is PRECIOUS!!!!

She is beautiful. It's a joy be her Mom!!

This is her class. I enjoy spending time in her class working with all the sweet kids. They are loads of fun.

Great Job!!

I love her face after she spoke :)

Thoughts from our Sweet Children

This Week:

Noah, in big church, leaned over and asked me the meaning of a huge word Pastor MacArthur had just said and I didn't know what it meant and he said, "how can you take notes if you don't understand his language" That was funny :)

Emma Grace came in from playing outside yesterday and said, "is it spring time now?" and I said no it's still winter and she looked at me and said, "I AM SOOO CONFUSED"?! And rightfully so... we've had 80 degree weather all week.

Anna Clair,on the way home from picking up Emma Grace at school, looks over at Em and said, "Can we go home and play sisters?" Emma Grace giggled and said, "yes, we'll go home and play sisters" Em smiled and giggled all the way home :)

Christmas Holiday Highlights

Wow, Where did the time go :) We had a great Christmas. We missed everyone back in Mississippi/Alabama and thought of you guys often this season. We are thankful for all the gifts we received this year from so many friends and family - we were overwhelmed by your generosity and love for our family!!!! Thank you!!!

Here are a few highlights from our Christmas holidays.

Here we are on our way to church

We did celebrate Christmas with Ross & Lisa

before they went home to the UK

Noah, Sam, Emma Grace, Anna Clair & Lissy

Noah joined the SCCS elementary choir this year.

This is his very first Christmas concert and he was very nervous.

He did a great job and it was a blessed concert.

Noah singing "Away in a Manger"

He is sooo cute :)

Our Christmas Tree on Christmas Eve

The kids are in style with their house coats.

They couldn't wait to go to sleep for Christmas day to come.

It was a rainy Christmas day.

The kids with their new scooters.

This is the Duhm family. Our very close friends our here

in California ;) They invited us over for Christmas dinner. We had

such a good time and were thankful that for time of family

fellowship. We love the Duhms!!!

This is Cathy's parents. They are so sweet!!

We enjoyed getting to know them and Noah loved her dad!!

Here is Noah with Cathy's dad. He really liked her

dad and decided to adopted him as family. So,

He came up with a name for him, Pa Daddy.

Noah called him Pa daddy all night :)

He begged Pa daddy to wrestle with him and so

He did. Noah loved it - although it looks painful :)

This is how it began.

This is how it ended :)

Noah had so much fun - he can't wait for Pa Daddy to

visit Cathy so he can hang out with him :)

This turned out to be such a fun night.

Thanks Cathy we needed your company to fight off

the home sickness :)

Just a cute picture of the girls.
