On the road again!

Visiting with Cortney at the Mt. Olive Church of God in Fruithurst, Alabama

It's after 4am. Super duper cold! Praying for traveling grace! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Today is our Thanksgiving Dinner. JJ & Brittany came and spent the day with us. I haave enjoyed it. Renee will be here soon. She had to work today. :( Right now we are being lazy! Too much food!
~Without JESUS no CHRISTmas~

It's going to be one of those days. All the kids are sick, I have a toothache, and I have far too much to do to have all this to stop me today. So somehow I have to push through. I will have to get Samuel to help me on Monday To do the last major bit that needs to be done and then Tuesday I will spend packing for our Georgia trip. I aabsolutely dread the trip although we hope to see some friends and see some things accomplished. I dread the long ride. But I plan to bring the HIM CD and that will help a lot!

Happy Birthday Carl!

Carl is 4 years old! Can you believe it? I am amazed at how fast times flies. Since we are in Revival this week and Carl went with Jasper to JJ's to work on his truck, it made for a super rushed birthday! Carl got several things: Pajama's, Thomas and Percy bath toys, Thomas UNO Game, Tractor, Hot Wheels Cars, Punch Balloons, Gummy Sweet Tarts, Bump and Go Train, a puzzle, a Mosaic Picture maker set, and $60!

                    Carl's Birthday Cake!

Saturday Night Post

It's ten minutes till 11. I am the only one up. Jasper has a rotten cold and was in bed by 10. Rebecca and Carl went to bed at 9:30. Cassia and Samuel were a bit later. I am going to do this post and then hit the shower.

Today Renee had the day off, so I took the kids shopping and we went to the pet store just to look around. They had fun. I also went and got a few groceries. It was around 6 when we got home. They seemed to enjoy the day. I did too.
Poor lil miss Cassia was pooped. She didn't have her long afternoon nap. So She was over tired and a little cranky. I got her to sleep but she would wake up easily until around 10 tonight. She zonked so soundly I was able to cut her fingernails.

I am working hard on my house. I am sorting through things tossing junk, getting ready for a possible house guest. Can't go into details right now. Just know, I am working hard getting things ready just in case!

I also called my mom today. She seems okay. Somewhat confused but not too bad. We didn't speak very long but it was a nice chat anyway.

Oh my my eyelids are falling. I need to jump in the shower then to bed. Have a great SUNDAY!!!!

Just sitting here

I am holding Cassia while she naps. She is growing so fast it is not even funny. She is becoming more vocal and beginning to drool everywhere. She still has her hair. I am hoping she keeps it! Her eyes are turning brown. Was really hoping that they would be blue but that's okay!

We are still moving rooms around. it's been so cold I haven't been able to get top the front porch to go through all the boxes. I am going to have to get them moved and things sorted asap! I have just a few days until we go to Georgia!

The weather has turned cool here in Virginia. This week we are in a warming trend. I am thankful for that. I have things to do and the warm weather will help me get them done! We have missed the 2 big storms so far that have hit the East Coast. I am sure we will get some snow later in the season.

I hope to be able to log in more soon. Until then it will be hit n miss.
