I realize it's been a while since I've posted, but we've been super busy around here! A sweet lamb has come to visit us for the Christmas season. His job is to help us learn about the real reason our family celebrates: Jesus! Check him out at my other blog, www.lammypajammy.blogspot.com .

And just for grins, here are a few pics to show what we've been up to lately:


 Baby dedication!
 
 
 
 
 
 Gearing up for Christmas!!
 
 
 
 
 We've had a lot of PJ days lately. It's been so cold!
 
 
 
 
 Courtney is loving 1st grade!
 
 
 
 
 While Courtney is at school, Matthew and Kaitlyn have been spending some quality time together.
 
 
 
 
 Kaitlyn learned to crawl!
 
 
 
 
 Do you see the face in this pic? Look carefully- it's on EVERY tile in my shower. Creepy.




 Mailing letters to Santa!




 We took Christmas pics at an old historic home down the street.
 
 
 
 
 Halloween- Courtney was Olivia, Kaitlyn was Snow White, and Matthew was Jake (from the Neverland Pirates)- but he refused to have his pic taken or wear his costume. Now he wears it every day, naturally!
 
 
 
 Katilyn is eating solids and has just started eating tiny finger foods.




 I've been working on my Photoshop skills. It's my "me time" go-to.
 
 
 
 
 Keith & I have been trying to do something fun with the kids every few weeks. This was our movie night- we made a huge tent that stretched across the whole living room.
 
 
 
 
 I did my first ever non-family member photo shoot! I had so much fun!! (Their little girl's flips reminded me of just how excited I was for the opportunity to take their pics!)




We took a family vacation to Hot Springs this summer- it was a blast! The only (I mean ONLY) cool weekend of the summer... it was perfect.
