One became SEVEN?!? How did THAT happen? 4/24 UPDATE

I will be the first to say it, those videos are fabulous! You have such talented children Judy and what a treat to hear Christian perform as well. Lisa did a super job, she has such stage presence and Rachel's guitar skills are better than most people who have played for years. You have reason to be proud. Most folks think their kids are talented, yours can actually back it up.

This is going to be quick, I am waiting on my littles to wake up so we can see if Santa came...I woke up to find a present outside my door from a tiny little girl, she put it there sometime after 2 am and before 5 am...she is still asleep, so I haven't thanked her yet. It was a BEAUTIFUL poem she wrote and a bracelet she made me, inside of her favorite change purse...what a sweetie my little Lisa is. She always makes/gives gifts from her heart and I am so thankful for her spirit and love.

I am happy many of you have expressed delight over the videos, thank you! It made me smile more than you know!!

Rachel, Thank you for my beautiful card and surprise GC for Disney...I see some delectable treats in our futures.

Several of you sent cards and I want to say a heartfelt Thank you!

Gail, as always thanks for the flour (and so much more) to get us healthy for the new year!

Many of you wrote and wished us well here, THANK YOU! D, Kathy, Courtney I love my graphics!

Sandra, I LOVE the picture of your sweet littles all around the tree in anticipation!

Reelmom, Deborah, Belle...I really can't tell you how much your messages made me smile!!! THANK YOU! I am delighted you enjoyed the videos!! That was my hope.

bushdianee: MANY hugs and prayers. May you feel God in your heart and have peace!!

Jennie, I remember the year Pete was deployed for Christmas. Praying you have peace in your heart and BIll is able to call. I love how he was a part of your Christmas card!

Tracy my dear sweet cohort in crime, I am so thankful you arrived safely and got to snuggle Emile. Thank you for your Christmas wishes. Three weeks from today our trip will be half over, I can't believe how quickly it is sneaking up on us!!

To each and every one of you who read here:

​

I feel so very blessed to have you all in my life and am so thankful to know I have a prayer group right here in the middle of the DIS to petition for us!!! It is humbling. Thank you!!

I DID se the bath Michele, I really liked the shower seat, as well as the pics on the wall and figurines. Who painted your villain pics? I KNOW you are going to have a wonderful trip and so well deserved, I am happy for you!

Did you get a chance to watch the children's videos?

Great pic of the kids and the annual cake, Judy.

Hi Judy, Love the pictures of the children with the birthday cake for Jesus. What nice gifts from Lisa to leave for you too. She is such a sweetie and praying she continues to get better each day along with you. Hope Lisa got her turkey leg and everyone had their favorites too!

Tracy, It's great to hear that Emile has gained more weight and you got to cuddle him. Sorry that he still wasn't ready to go home yet. He's getting closer though. Have a fun time with your family!

Went to have lunch with the family yesterday and watched part of the movie, Despicable Me 2. Had to leave because Tiffy was getting tired and hungry. She didn't finish her food in the morning and she likes to sleep around 2:30 pm every day. She hates having her routine interrupted.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!

​

I agree with katmark, I love your annual birthday picture for Jesus. Thank you for sharing. The children look so happy.

 

[courtneybelle]

Tracy - I'm so glad you got some cuddles with Emile! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I'll keep praying for Emile's progress.

Judy - Loved the birthday cake photo and I just got to watch the videos! The girls were amazing, as always, and Christian did a phenomenal job! What a talented family

I hope everyone reading had a great Christmas. Santa was very good to me and I had a great meal with family! Next up is my 21st birthday on the 30th, and we can book our ADRs for our July trip next week, if you can believe it! Soon it will be January, which means it's the month of your trip!!!

Sandra, I LOVE the picture of your sweet littles all around the tree in anticipation!

That was so sweet of Lisa to do that for you. She must have stayed awake to be able to surprise you. Love the pictures of the kids and cake. Looks yummy!!!!

They had a great Christmas!! I will admit my children are very well loved (spoiled). They woke up Christmas morning about 8 am and hearing their excited voices saying "Santa Came, Santa Came" made all the late nights wrapping presents and all the shopping I did (both online and in store) worth it!!

I also surprised my DH and that is hard to do at times. We've been going back and forth trying to come up with a name for the baby. He wanted to name the baby after him (so we'd have a Jr.) I've never wanted a Jr. but after lots of thought and knowing this is it I gave in. Every time we've found out what the baby is we've gone down to Build a Bear and picked out a bear and gave it the babies name. Well we hadn't done it for this one yet since we couldn't agree on a name. So I went and did it. That was the last gift that was opened (I had it hidden behind the tree). When he opened it and read the birth certificate for the bear he got tears in his eyes. He couldn't believe it!! So we are now going to have a Jeffrey Aaron Jr. Still not fully into it but I'm just glad to finally have the naming behind us.

I also had my check up today and everything is looking great!!! The baby is head down and perfectly fine in size. I did gain about a 1lb from my last appointment but she said that's perfectly fine because it means the baby is growing and I'm just holding steady with weight. She was also very happy that I've been able to keep my numbers under control and I also couldn't be happier about that. We're just taking it a day at a time right now so I'll keep you posted as things move forward. Next appointment January 10.

I also received a very sweet Christmas Card. Thank you for thinking of us. I never got mine done this year but may still try to get them out now that Christmas is over and I have a little bit extra time.
