Ava gave a dashing Christmas performance at school!!

The Second Grade performed for the community their Christmas program. Ava did an excellent job with her speaking part. I'm always amazed at her bravery when it comes to speaking in public. She takes it very seriously. We all were very proud of her.

Basketball is beginning to take over our lives.......Did I just say that? :)

Sorry camera wasn't working.......but it's a Santa picture!

We are thankful for...........

........being able to spend time with our family for Thanksgiving! Last year, we celebrated Thanksgiving by ourselves in Texas. This year, we got to spend time with both sets of grandparents and our lovely set of great grandparents! We even got to help Great Grandpa A. celebrate his 89th birthday! We are truly sorry (NOT!) that his football team didn't win last Saturday (his birthday) against the Ohio State Buckeyes. We are truly blessed to have such Godly examples in our lives!
