Working Woman

I am sure you guys all know that we just bought a pottery studio. Things are going well for almost finishing our first week of business. Tomorrow we have open house and a birthday party, so that will be a little crazy. Here are some pics of the place, and the kids getting it ready.

Quick update

Hey guys - sorry I know it has been forever, and still tonight there are no new pics. Maybe tomorrow? Life as usual is crazy. Maddie had another trip to the ER this week. She fell out of a chair onto her face. We thought her nose was broken, but thankfully it wasn't. She tore her upper frenum in her mouth pretty good, and busted her lower lip, so finally today she is beginning to look normal, the swelling has been horrible. The boys, as wild as they are, are still fine. Tyler and I just bought a paint your own pottery studio here in town. We take over next week, so pray that things will go smoothly in that transition. I hope everyone is doing well, and I hope to see you soon.

Almost Christmas

I cannot believe Christmas is almost here. This is a crazy week for us. We have atleast one party a day. I am glad that it is all going to slow down before Christmas though. We went to Branson for Thanksgiving and had a great time. Maddie and Owen loved silver dollar city, and the butterfly pavilion, or whatever it is called. I still have been trying to get pics for Christmas cards, but still have had no luck. I will try again this weekend. If still no success, I will blame the lack of cards this year on the economy, and not on the fact that it is impossible to get a picture of three kids three and under at the same time. I hope you are all having a great time getting ready for Christmas and I hope to see you soon.

Man free weekend

Ty went hunting this past weekend with Papa and Uncle Matt. So Grammy and Aunt NaeNae came to hang out with us. The kids had a great time doing crafts and helped finish the Christmas decorating. They had their first time playing in leaf piles, but their playing was cut short when Grammy found a little copperhead snake close by. I have started to try to get a pic of the three of them for Christmas cards. I am beginning to think this may be an impossibility. Although we had a great weekend. We are so glad that Daddy is back home.

Fall Fun

This has been a fun and crazy busy fall. The kids have had so much fun. I love fall, but I am so ready for Christmas. Tyler wanted to put the trees up two weeks ago. I told him he had to wait until at least Halloween was over. He asked if he could do it tonight, so I guess I'll give in. I love this time of the year, and can't wait for this Christmas with the kids.

Playgroup = ER visit

Again our playgroup ended in another visit to the ER. This time it was Maddie. She fell off the top of some stairs onto a concrete slab, and busted her head open. Times like these I am so glad Tyler is a doctor. We went straight into the ER, and the Dr. was waiting for us in the room. She had to get three staples and a CT. But everything looked fine. After she heals, she will be good as new. Tyler just got back from picking up my car at our friends house and said she was so lucky she was no hurt severly. I am so blessed to have such great friends that have been there for me in the many crazy times of our lives. If you guys had not been there today, I don't know what I would have done. Thank you so much and I love you guys.

Simplicity

Again I am sorry. Here is another post without pics of the kids. I will get some up tomorrow. I just had a thought that I thought I would share. Tonight was a wonderful night for us. We had no classes, no playgroups, and no dinner out. It was just us at home. I miss simplicity. After a calm dinner, we went for a long walk and Maddie pointed out all that God had made, and then played in the backyard until the bonfire couldn't keep us warm any longer. I know that we bring a lot of the chaos in our lives on ourselves, and that makes nights like this even more special. I hope that as the kids get older and our lives become even busier (if that is possible), we don't loose nights like this where we can enjoy nothing else but each other and God's wonderful creation!
