Hey everybody! I wanted to take a moment to wish everybody a Merry Christmas. We started early last night with some of our family, there is nothing like being with family! The girls are very anxious for tomorrow morning, it takes me back when I see how excited they are. I remember having the hardest time falling asleep on Christmas Eve. They will have to go to bed early tonight. I hope and pray that you are all having a blessed Christmas. I find myself pretty emotional this time of year Me and Mike were having a conversation going down the road the other day, about how blessed we are, and all the little reminders of what life is really about..I’ve been glancing back over the past year, and I find my heart full of gratefulness. We have had a few bumps in the road this year, we have shed some tears, be have also shared much laughter. There have been, moments of victory, and times of struggle, but just as in years gone by, we have found that God’s love endures it all, and at the end of every day we find that our hope is in Him alone! I look forward to 2009, and knowing that God already has a plan for each and every one of us! God bless you, and Merry Christmas from our home to yours! Until next time.. KellyMatthew 2:11And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Hey everybody! It is a chilly morning here, very wintry! I have been cuddling with Gracie, she is so sweet this morning. She is officially, broken from her passy! This is such a big deal for us, she was so addicted to it! LOL I can’t believe how big she is.
Hope and Katelanne are at school of course, they are getting very excited about Christmas break. Only two more days! The will have a Christmas party at school on Friday, so that will be lots of fun for them.
I forgot to tell you all about my big fall. I was picking up Katelanne at another family member’s house the other day and I tripped up the sidewalk step, and fell flat on my face! It was crazy, I tried to catch myself with my hands of course, but for some reason, I couldn’t do it. So, I hit my nose, mouth and teeth! Long story short, I ended up at the ER, and Mike had to leave on the road without me. Our good friend Katy Peach was able to go and sing for me, so I am extremely thankful for that! She is absolutely incredible! Anyway, I went to the ER (in my pajamas) and they told me my nose was possibly broken, and there are cuts all over my face. They were going to stitch my upper lip, but she told me it would be extremely painful, and that it would not prevent the scarring, so she opted not to. I was thankful to avoid anymore pain! So, now when I go out in public people are taking a second look, and I can tell that they are wondering what in the world happened to me! I guess that’s one way to get attention right? Oh, and I forgot to mention, that a couple of my teeth moved, ( it’s a miracle I still have them, trust me.) So, I have to see a dentist about that! I can honestly say that I am so thankful, it could have been worse, and it made me really grateful. Everyday that we are healthy, we should stop and thank the Lord for that, it is a blessing!
Well, that’s all for now, it has been an adventurous week, I hope that it calms down a bit after all that! I hope that you are all enjoying the holiday season, remember the reason we celebrate as you are shopping, cooking, and going! It’s so easy to get frustrated, amidst the crowds, and the non-stop going, I know firsthand. However, we need to remember that reason we celebrate, is because when that little baby was born in Bethlehem, on that first Christmas, hope was born too! It was, and is all about, God sending us His love, and His promise! When I consider all of that, those long lines seem to not be near as big of a deal for me! God bless you all! Until next time……

Matthew 2:10
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Hey everyone! I hope that you are all doing good! It is a very cold morning! It snowed a little last night, which is exciting! It wasn’t that much, but really pretty. Gracie is up and going, drinking milk, which is a new thing for her! She woke up asking about “HO HO” first thing this morning. She is at the sweetest age. I laugh out loud a lot because of all of the great things that she says! Oh, and I forgot to mention last night was her first night without her pacifier! This is big news, and it didn’t happen without some struggle, that’s for sure! It took me about and hour to get her to sleep, and she woke up at about 4:00 am crying for her ka-ka as she calls it. I don’t know how it ended up being a ka-ka, but that’s what she says! LOL So,we were tough, and I’ll admit, at 4:00 am, I wanted to get it. I even said to Mike, ” I know where one is at,” but now I’m so glad that we decided to be strong! So, this is the longest we have been without one! She is old enough, and it is time to lose it for sure. So, that is our current happenings! The girls had their Christmas program at school, and it was really good last night. Mike is working today, and I am preparing for Hope’s birthday party tonight! She is having a slumber party ( and I thought taking Gracie’s passy was rough) just kidding! We are looking forward, she is so excited! We will have lots of family here and they are going to have a ball! Well, come and see us soon, check our tour page to see when we will be in your area! We would love for you to come and join us! Until next time…..KellyActs 4:12Salvation is found in no on else, for there is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved.
Hey everyone, I am back yet again. It has been a dreary day here, and I have found it hard to get everything accomplished like I wanted to today. Now I have a headache thinking about all that needs to be done! Hope and Katelanne are in bed, and Gracie is almost there. She is so whiny, a very sleepy girl. It’s funny, because she tries to wake the other two up if they go to sleep before her. I think she is going through my purse right now, she just brought me the case that holds my sunglasses. Mike is upstairs watching one of his medical shows, he loves those real life medical shows. Medical mysteries, and all that stuff.
The girls have to go to the dentist tomorrow, they have a little more work to do on Hope, and Katelanne has a check up. My laundry is dry, and I need to fold the clothes, and start another load, so until next time……
John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Well, it’s Sunday morning, and I have just a few moments to blog. The girls are still snoozing, and Mike and Jeff are in the church setting up. I’m becoming more fond of these Sunday mornings, I’ve been getting some quiet time, it’s really nice. I get to listen to Joyce Meyer before service. What she has to say always makes me examine my walk with God, I love that about her teaching! We are in Texas this morning. We were in Louisiana last night, and had a great time! We are looking for a busy week at home, getting ready for Christmas. The girls have Christmas program at school coming up. It’s so fun with Gracie this holiday season! She’s at such a fun age, so fascinated by everything. I love just watching her, it’s so sweet. Well, I need to get ready! Until next time………
Kelly 1 John 4:4 Yeah are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
Well, I am back once again. I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving. We really enjoyed our time together at home, and seeing family. It was really nice. Christmas is so close, it seems like this time of year really goes by fast, with everyone planning and shopping, and all of that good stuff. We have had a pretty busy week, nothing out of the ordinary, just working and family stuff. Hope had two teeth pulled on Monday, she did really well though. She squirmed a few times, but no crying, she was a big girl! The first thing on her mind was how much money did I think she would get from the tooth fairy for two teeth at one time? She said probably twenty bucks per tooth! LOL You can’t blame a kid for trying can you? I told her no one ever gets twenty per tooth, ever, and that I use to get a dollar per tooth! So we got that straightened out fast! Kids are way too smart, huh? Well, I have so much to do, as usual, like four baskets of laundry that need put away! Yippee! I hope you are all well, and in the midst of this busy season, stop and remember why God sent his only son, so that we could have life. Until next time… KellyMark 16:15He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”
