what a smart boy!

That made me smile :) He is so sweet!

how precious! i hope you're writing these sweet things down!

i love and miss cole (and the rest of you, too)!!! thanks for sharing!

Hey girl! This is too cute. Out of the mouth of babes, right?!! We are still in the process of finalizing some things before it's a done deal, but we are wanting to build in a subdivision near Page HS, it's called Stags Leap. It's so pretty down that way and it feels like we will be out in the country, but still not that far from things. I grew up in the country and have always loved that feel. We've been looking for a while now and started really thinking about schools and where we want William to go. When I get a chance, I need to call you and ask you about the pre-K program you did with Cole to see how you liked it. I've heard good and bad things....so anything you can tell me about it would be helpful, but I still don't know what or where to put William for that, if I choose to go that route! Good to hear from you...hope you all are doing well...we miss you guys a lot!!!!! Take care!! ♥

It is always refreshing to hear a kid discover for the first time what we've almost forgotten! I do love that song.

*tear* and sigh...big time! I LOVE it!!!! Isn't it all so true! Of course, he learned this heart from his two wonderful parents!

That is precious! Having children has made me understand better what Jesus meant when He said we had to become like children to enter the kingdom of heaven. I love what they say!

Hey Amy. I've got a Canon EOS Rebel XTi camera. It's an older model digital, but I've really liked it so far. Hope your mom's feeling better.

what a big boy! happy bday!

Happy Birthday Blake :)

Yay!!! I heard about his b'day party that's coming today...you guys have fun and tell Blake and we all said HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! I can't believe he is 4 already! Hopefully we'll see you this Thursday night? And I hope you are all well now!!! We miss you! Have a fun day!! ♥

How great and you got him a big riding lawnmower for his birthday?! They're never too young to start thinking about doing the yard I guess. :D

he is so sweet. his smile is very contagious. happy birthday blake!

He is so cute! Happy Birthday, Blake!

He is precious. Happy Birthday cutie pie!!
Whacha been up to Amy?

Have fun! Happy Birthday, Blake!!

Wow! Happy Birthday, big guy!

Haven't seen the commercials for the Snuggie? It is a blanket with arms, so you don't have to get out of it to use the remote or answer the phone. I love it!

HE is too cute! I want to peench his sweet cheeks!

how did i miss this post? hope y'all had fun!

Thanks Amy and yes, that is very scary. Her brother was just 30 years old and she is only 33--she is married with a little girl who is four months older than William. I used to work with her in Birmingham, AL when we lived down there and she is a really good friend. Unfortunately, we lost touch after the move and just kept in touch through email off and on. She is not a christian, but maybe this is God's way of showing me or telling me- that I need to try again with her. When we lived down there- she came to a few home bible studies with me, but nothing ever stuck. She goes to a Catholic church but she is very Godly minded and has many great qualities-- some maybe even better than some Christians I know. I appreciate your prayers very much. Also- it was great to see you and Pam the other night at Kims. I failed to tell you both bye before I left. I hope things are still going well at Rolling Hills...we miss you guys a lot. Thanks again Amy--have a great night...take care and love you! ♥

We were supposed to be in Nashville at the end of June, but Jim opted for a different conference this year. I agree, though, we need to get together some time!

I miss you !!!!!

to you too!

Cuties! One of our goals for this year should be the 4c's getting together again!

adorable! :)

Wow, they're cute!

*sigh* lovely picture(s)!

Hey! So how did things go this past Sunday? I thought about you all day-- I hope things go well for all of you. Keep in touch!! Love ya!

That's great about church....I am so glad for all of you. I know you were probably nervous--but the Lord takes care of His people when their hearts in the right place! I'll keep praying for you alls continued success!--- This is day 3 of the potty training----crazy stuff-- but I'm very OCD and Monday was a nightmare! I have since relaxed and decided he will get it --in time. He's always been a kid that developed in his own time and at his own pace--so I'm going to try to not rush him-- but just give him every opportunity to go and make me proud!-- I am getting a little tired of all the dancing around we are doing too--- hey if nothing else-- maybe I'll lose a few pounds from all the running to the bathroom and then doing the pee pee dances!! LOL!! Love you girl-- thanks for the update and well wishes! Take Care!!

That is fantastic! I'd love to chat with you more about this. Maybe I'll give you a call sometime this week. Will definitely keep you in our prayers.

Oh your children are so beautiful, Amy. We're missing you at Brentwood.

My husband and I have been at Jackson Heights since June. However, I actually grew up at that congregation. My family switched to Collegevue when I was in High School. Then, with going to FC for four years and then getting married and living in Corpus for a year, we wanted to pick a congregation in Columbia as a couple. We're really liking it at Jackson Heights so far. Lots of opportunities to work. :)

Where do you and your husband work? In Spring Hill? I have a music studio in my home teaching violin, voice, piano, and Kindermusik :)

Things are going well. It's so nice to have a newborn and not have those first-time-mom anxieties. It's just so much easier this time around (so far ...).

that is a great picture!! i wish i could see y'all!!!

What adorable little cheribs. Happy holidays!

so cute!!! Chloe looks so happy with santa....Eden didn't like him at all. Stopped crying just long enough to take the picture ;)

what a good picture! i love that big stripey chair! chloe is precious and getting so big! WHY don't we live so close?!

Cute. We didn't even go see Santa this year. Maybe we'll still get there, but I'm not holding my breath!

What a good picture. Hope you and your family have a GREAT holiday!

Precious. You have the sweetest looking kids. Do they ever give you trouble?
They just look like they have hearts of gold.

Sweet, sweet family! Hope you had a great Christmas. Coming to BG soon? We will be there Monday thru Thursday.

This is a great picture! Hope you all had a good Christmas. I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to you yesterday at church...I wanted to get over to you and give you a hug since you guys will be leaving us soon....While I am so happy and excited for you guys and the new work that will be started-- we are very sad to lose you and Mark and your three sweet kids! I wish all of you well with the work there in Spring Hill and may God always be with you in all you do! Love you girl! Hopefully we all can still do the girls night out some times....♥

Yes, William is growing up too fast! I think we are thinking number 2 soon! I'll be sure and let you know-- love ya!

NO and yes! i'm pretty sure it's just going to get harder and harder! they're so sweet and innocent now! :)

Nothing! She is so beautiful and getting so big :)

They are all pretty sweet when they are napping! That is too cute, and the ones below are pretty sweet too! She is growing!

Just precious!

oh my! I feel like I should be so quiet and not wake the little angel!

Nothing. I love watching my boys sleep. Too sweet!

That wins the prize. Although I've always been scared to buy those little sleeping bag pjs...

Wow. That is a really sweet picture!

I didn't mean to insinuate that they are somehow unsafe. They just personally freak me out...like clowns or something. Nothing except a personal problem. Probably goes back to some weird thing I can't remember from my childhood! I have no problem with other people wearing them. I just can't seem to buy one! :)

yep. we are building! it is so exciting and so scary all at the same time. how are you???

She is SO praying!! oxoxoxo LOVE IT!! I like the sleeping bag, too! ;)
