What a month!

January's are proving to be yucky months in my life as a mom.  Between weather, visitors, Joel's travels and then doctors appointments it has been emotionally and physically draining.  But God is good and so is His timing.  That is what I have rested in over the last few weeks!

Here are a few pictures of our month, including Emmy's big hospital adventure!

Christmas Time...

What a wonderful time of year.  I am so thankful for Jesus' birthday on so many levels, and one reason is Christmas.  This year was my sweet baby Caleb FIRST Christmas!!! We spent the month celebrating, baking, eating, cooking, singing and more eating.  Then we headed down to NC to be with the Dixon crew for the holiday.  We had a great time with family and snuck in a visit with Great Grandma McCurry. Here are a few pictures to summarize our adventures...
