3rd Birthday Pictures

Three Years Old!!!!

Hi everyone! We celebrated Caroline and Charlie's 3rd birthday with a little family party on Sunday afternoon. (Their birthday was January 12th) We had a great time. Caroline wanted a Cinderella castle cake and Charlie wanted a Spiderman cake. I made them myself and I think the kids were happy with them. They wore their costumes to the party and had the other children do so, too. They all looked really cute. It was a fun time and, by party's end, we were all on a sugar high. I do know that old saying about time going too fast is so true! My babies are 3! I can't believe it.

Time To Catch Everyone Up





Hello, friends! I have so much to tell everyone. First and foremost, let me say a HUGE "Thank you" to everyone for your thoughts and prayers regarding mom. She got out of the hospital on Christmas Eve. She is still very weak, but she is ALIVE!!! A huge improvement from where we were. All of you were so supportive and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
Next, I wanted to tell everyone that we went and had an ultrasound on December 22nd. The baby is growing so big and everything was as it should be. We also found out that it is a BOY!!!! We are very excited. Clay had already said that he didn't think that our house was big enough for more than one queen - and we've got her! We are going to name him after our dads. He will be Sam Allen Hannah. Of course, Charlie argues that his name is "Sam Poppy" - that's what they call my dad, but we've got a couple more months to change his mind.
We had a great Christmas, with much to be thankful for. My mom is on the mends, the baby is healthy, and the twins were COVERED UP with toys. The first few days after Christmas were really dangerous around our house. I told Clay that, if the house was to catch fire, we were all gonners because there was no way we would be able to get to the door. We have since cleaned out the old to make room for the new. We enjoyed getting to see many family members and we miss the ones that we did not get to see.
We are looking forward to this new year with much anticipation. There will be many changes in our life - a new baby, the twins will start pre-school. Life is changing. We hope that you all have a wonderful new year filled with many blessings and much happiness. Thank you all for being a part of our lives.
