Some of our winter 2011 memories include...baking cookies, licking the spoons, singing loudly as we bake, the West family took our kids for an overnight in a hotel and to Rain Forest Cafe, Daddy Mel performed some kereoke and Memommy taught me how to make her pecan pie!! Daddy Mel's basketball goal was the bomb digity!!!

Christmas 2011. We continue to be humbled and blessed beyond measure. The day after Thanksgiving our home flooded. But inspite the mess, we still decorating...even if a wreath was hung to a stud! Memommy, Daddy Mel, Sunshine and Kerstin spent the night with us. On Christmas eve Owen opened and dino kit from Pastor Isaiah and we had a blast! Owen also performed his first piano song...Jingle Bells for the family! I was offered a part time job at Providence that begins in January and am thankful for the opportunity to keep the kids at the school.
