Haley has become a fork expert. She’s pretty excited about it. My mom, in a stroke of genius, bought Haley some cocktail forks. They are perfectly sized and yet have enough stabbing power to pick up anything, including the steamed eggs she’s enjoying in this photo. Haley is clearly gaining dexterity because the other thingContinue reading “Forks and Other News”

In the Spirit
That’s right – the Christmas spirit! I’ve got to keep track of all these fun things we do in the Christmas season because next year I’m absolutely going to finally finish my advent activity calendar idea from my friend Sarah. Really. I kicked off the month by hosting a table at the Antioch Women’s ChristmasContinue reading “In the Spirit”
Winter Skiing
Friday morning our friend Katie graciously took our kids to have play time at her house while Jim and I had a quick ski date. It was foggy when we arrived at the lake, but we were optimistic. Then Jim started driving the boat. And it looked like this. And we couldn’t see our ownContinue reading “Winter Skiing”
Getting Creative
With the weather consistently cold and wet, we’ve had to come up with some new ways to work out some energy around the house. One morning, JT decided to build a McDonald’s drive through. (This is interesting because I think he’s been through one a grand total of once.) He built a block tower andContinue reading “Getting Creative”
Christmas Photos
We’d like to thank Sarah Ellen for another round of beautiful family pictures! I think Haley is torturing JT…
A Good Day for Football
The Saturday following Thanksgiving, Jim and JT had a football marathon. It was a good day for our teams and both were rivalry games. First Alabama stomped Auburn in the Iron Bowl. Then everyone changed clothes to support the Huskies in the Apple Cup game against WSU. Go dawgs!
O Christmas Tree
You know what’s a little scary? The amount of times I say in a week, “I saw in on Pinterest.” Let’s keep in mind that I only click around on there a couple of times a week, and I don’t have much on my boards. But still! I saw the idea for these lights picturesContinue reading “O Christmas Tree”
Officially a Walker
Haley is officially a walker more than she is a crawler. It is so fun to see her walk into a room and peek around the corner of the door. I remember from JT that surprise when you look to the floor expecting a crawler to enter but a couple feet higher is your walker’sContinue reading “Officially a Walker”
A New Home
This summer we started praying about a new home for Slider. Let’s start by saying that she is a wonderful dog. However, we thought we’d live out of the city on more land by now, and we thought she could be outside more, and neither of those things are going to happen anytime soon. WeContinue reading “A New Home”
Thanksgiving
We kicked off Thanksgiving week by making some crafts as a gift for our hosts, Grandpa and Grandma Cole. Here JT is showing off his handprint turkey. He also made a puffy pumpkin. My parents hosted a lot of my mom’s family for dinner and we had a wonderful time! Uncle Jim and Aunt Sara Great-Grandma and RitaContinue reading “Thanksgiving”
