the BEST way to spread christmas cheer...

is singing loud for all to hear.... OR dancing wild with no fear....

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! (SUPER EARLY)

happy thanksgiving

allie and i did our first "arts and crafts" project yesterday. she put all the jewls on herself! we want to wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! May we all take the time to remember that the Lord has done great things (psalms 126:3) and be thankful!

it's potty time

we're having a POTTY PARTY!!! allie has had a big time training her doll, "phyllis" how to use the potty and wash her hands. we've been reading books, watching movies, and coloring all morning. we take phyllis to the potty every fifteen minutes and she gets a treat if she goes potty. the picture above is allie and phyllis celebrating this morning!

after her nap, allie will be done with diapers and using her big girl panties. life is EXCITING!! Way to go Allie!!! We are soo proud. (funny stories to come soon, i'm sure of it).

"on the road again..."

yep, you guessed it... lance is on his last fall trip. we are so supportive of what he does, but we miss him BAD when he's not here. if you think of it - say a prayer for him and his team. they'll be in Missouri till friday. and then say a prayer for those of us at home missing him! i've included a pic of two people that are CRAZY and missing him pretty bad...by the way, i miss him BAD too (no pic included, HA)!

we love you daddy... come home soon!
