Chloe shares her reflections from her first snow.

IT SNOWED!!!!

Finally our kids were able to see snow. REAL snow. Last Thursday evening, it really snowed about 2 inches. It was cold, but we took the kids outside anyway. Okay..okay...Jason took them outside. You just never know how long it may last before it goes away. So they played in the dark for about 30 minutes. Unfortunately...my camera was dead as usual, so we only took pics of the snowman! We did video them playing with dad. They had lots of fun making snow angels even though we don't own any snow attire! We just did it the old fashioned way...wrap em up till they can't move! It is a pretty lousy snowman, but the girls thought it was the best snowman they had ever seen (well, it really was the only real one they have seen).

Of course big sisters had a turn also! Lydia was all about posing for the camera. I think Chloe was too cold to move or smile or do anything that day.

The girls just had a photo shoot the other day. It was mainly for Karis' first birthday! She was quite the ham for the camera (after she warmed up). I just love captured moments like these!

Little Sneak!

Karis is quite the sneaky one! I guess being number 3 you can get away with sneakiness. Maybe it is just that mom isn't paying attention like she did with number 1 and 2. Whatever the case, she still remains "the sneak." It only takes her about 1/2 a second to get into something.

Oh the weather outside is frightful!!!!

So, we have been here about a month now and the weather is already freezing outside! I thought it wasn't officially winter yet. Yesterday morning it was in the 20s and there were big beautiful snow flurries outside (Even though you can't see them in this picture). I know it was probably just a cold spell. The kids were loving every minute of it!

Coming Home

Well, here we are. I really didn't think we would be here again. The Lord has blessed us and allowed us to move back to Tennessee. Even though we have now lived in KY and SC, there is nothing like TN. It just always feels good to be ...well...home. After much prayer and planning, Jason accepted a new senior pastor position at Westwood Baptist Church in Murfreesboro, TN. We bought our first home and moved in just about 3 weeks ago. I must say moving with 3 kids ages 5 and under was quite a task. I don't know what I thought it would really be like, but I think I fooled myself into thinking it would be easy. Anyway, we are finally getting settled. The first week we moved here was the week of Halloween. We tried to keep things as "normal"as possible by allowing the kids to dress up and trunk or treat at church. They had fun and that is all that matters. This is the only picture we had b/c the camera died. Did you really think I would remember to charge a camera during a cross-state move? As you can tell Karis was really wanting to be outside with her sisters!
