Priceless Memories

At first,

 everything was going so well...

But sometimes things can change very quickly!

We hope your holiday is as calm and peaceful as ours!

Merry Christmas!

He has the FEVER!

Last weekend...

When Eric got home from duck hunting, the kids rushed outside to see their Daddy and his ducks!

Evan defiantly has the Duck Fever... Just like his Daddy! He will carry the dead ducks around with him as long as we will let him.

But...

He was not to happy with us when we took one of his ducks away so his Sissy could have a turn.  

As you can tell, she was not sure if she liked holding the dead duck or not!  She was careful and held her arm very far away from her side!  

As many ducks as Eric brings home during one season, she is sure to grow to love DEAD DUCKS just as much as her brother!

Our Little Pumpkins!

At the Pumpkin Patch...


You load up on the hay trailer



that is pulled by the farm tractor



and ride out into the hay field



where you get to pick your very own pumpkin.



But,

What you might not know about the Pumpkin Patch is...





Very Large Pumpkins are pretty good to taste!

Here Fishy Fishy!

For Evan's birthday Eric and I bought him a fish aquarium. Last weekend Eric got it all set up and ready to go. He was excited about the aquarium without any fish but....



As of today, he can't contain his excitement.

We went to Rockwall after church and bought him 3 guppies. When we put the fish in the fish tank, he couldn't keep his eyes off of them.

Tonight when he went to bed he had to tell his fishies goodnight and we left the aquarium light on so he could see them as he went to sleep!

Ready or SNOT! Here it Comes!

When you are sick with the stomach virus, I guess you really don't care what your hair looks like!!

This week we have had the stomach virus, all four of us, and now Eden has a sinus infection and bronchitis.  

But, so far, we are doing a lot better than last year.  Starting in August of last year, Eden got a cold and she just could not get over it.  We went to the pediatrician many times, the ENT and had tubes, twice, and eventually to a pulmonologist to help us with her lungs.  After many rounds of medicine and breathing treatments, from August till March, she finally seemed to get better.  Then to our surprise we made it all spring and summer without a cold or trip to the doctor.  We were very very thankful!

She had a cold last month but, unlike last year, she went to the doctor and was able to get over it in a few days.  

Now, she is sick again but we are hopeful that she will get well quickly and be snot free very soon!  

We are praying that this cold and flu season is much easier for our little girl.
