Chris and I went to WorkPlay last night to hear Ashley sing with Red Mountain Music. Mom and Dad kept Ali overnight, so we made a rare “Monday Night Date” out of it. We had never been to WorkPlay before, and loved the setup! We got to sit in a cuddly, comfortable, round booth directly […]
A Christmas Story
Last night at small group, we did our “Christmas night”, which always consists of studying something related to, well, obviously the Christmas story. However, this year, Greg had the great idea of doing the Christmas story for the kids before they went to bed. Then Lydia took that idea and made it brilliant by gathering […]
Jingle Bell Rock
Despite everything else going on in our lives right now, we are working fervently to make the Christmas season magical and special for Ali. And so far, she absolutely adores it. So much so that were it not for her birthday two weeks after Christmas, I would worry that she would go into a Post […]
they are a girl’s best friend.
Ali has been completely taken with this necklace:It is the FIRST thing that she asks for every morning, and the LAST thing that I pry off of her every night (and at naptimes, people. Don’t worry. I don’t let my toddler sleep with a cord of wires around her neck). My Bible Study teacher had […]
McWane Through the Eyes of Toddlers
Mom and I took the girls to The McWane Center today. Now I know that the McWane Center is more geared around older kids than Just-Two and Almost-Two year olds, but I must say, we spend 2 1/2 hours there and the girls had experienced about 20% of it and were nowhere near boredom! So, […]

Twins for the Day
Well, our second sleepover was a success!! Or at least, they are both sound asleep. I better be safe and say that so far it is a success. But I am T-I-R-E-D!! So I’m going to minimally blog and maximally post pictures. AJ was mesmerized by one of Ali’s toys that plays five different songs. […]
A Few Stories from the Weekend.
Thursday night was the first night where we had ALL twelve of our kids there at once. We now have even odds: 12 kids, 12 adults. It was quite crazy! AND number 13 is on the way next year! (No, not me. AJ is going to be a big sister!) Kendall hanging out with her […]
