Fun Field Trip

Last week we took a homeschool field trip to Sciworks in Winston Salem. The kids had SUCH a good time....and the moms did too! Here are a few pics of our day!

This poor guy lets everyone pull his insides out for a game of name that organ!

Disney on Ice

One of Nana and Poppi's Christmas gifts for the boys was to go to Disney on Ice. It was hard to get many good pictures but here is one I did manage to grab of Mickey and Minnie! The boys had a blast...even though there were more princesses than we expected!

Oh Christmas Tree

Oh Christmas Tree, How LOVELY are your branches!
I have to say that I absolutely LOVE our tree this year! We are so blessed to have friends who get their own tree over Thanksgiving from a tree farm in the mountains and they bring us one as well! I love real trees! They smell GREAT! Anyway, we had it up Saturday, the lights were put on Sunday and we FINALLY decorated it tonight! They boys always love hanging their ornaments. I let them put them wherever they want then I rearrange later....just the ones where the branches are screaming for mercy! We are pleased with the final product!
'Tis the Season!

Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:20
We are SO thankful, so grateful, so overwhelmed with joy this holiday season. I have been struggling with a muscle disease for 2 years now. I was diagnosed in November of 2007. We had hoped to be able to get pregnant November or December of that year. Well, as we all know too well, our plans are not always God's plans! We have prayed that I would be healthy enough to have another baby. We finally got the go ahead to try and WE ARE PREGNANT! Our new little bean is due the beginning of July! We are all extremely excited and are rejoicing in this blessing that has been given to us!
Please join us in praying that this will be a healthy pregnancy. A pregnancy that will go full term and result in a healthy baby next summer! Please also pray that I stay healthy during this pregnancy which is crucial for the baby! I am high risk due to my muscle disease and history of pre-term birth BUT we have complete faith that everything will be just fine!
We have had an ultrasound and seen that there is only one baby this time! We are not planning on finding out the sex until the "birth-day"!

Polar Express

Last weekend, the boys got an early Christmas present from Nana and Poppi. They took us all to Bryson City to ride the Polar Express! It was a lot of fun for all. We got to ride the train ALL the way to the "North Pole" where Santa boarded the train and rode back with us! They served us hot chocolate and candy and read the Polar Express book to us! The boys each received their very own silver bell just like the one in the book and they can still hear it jingle....so can Mommy and Daddy-O! (if you can't hear it jingle, that means you don't believe!)

Here are a few pictures from our exciting weekend!

PTL!!!!

I just wanted to post a quick note to say that my levels are lower than they have been in a LONG time! We are in the 500 range! God is good! That also means my prednisone level gets to be lowered too!! Yippee!
