Who's on the nice list?

Malia, Cole, and Drew went to see Santa today to plead their case on the whole naughty/nice issue. We've all got our fingers crossed that the big guys will make a stop at our house next week. I've got a good feeling about it...mostly :-)!

This will be my last post until after christmas...I pray you all have a VERY merry Christmas! God Bless!!

Fun on the ice...

Once I got Drew down for his nap I was able to spend some quality time sledding down our driveway with Malia and Cole....how fun! Here are some pictures of them...I couldn't get them to take one of me on the sled!



This is one of Malia ice skating with her boots on....you gotta use your imagination, people!

Thank the Lord for Drew's 3 hour nap today....we got to squeeze in a lot of fun with ice sledding and homeschooling! What a sugar!

Brrrr.....

Not much to do today but stay inside, eat, and do homeschool...here's what we were up to today

Malia and Cole at the homeschool table...also known as the breakfast, lunch, and dinner table....

Couldn't resist one or two of lil' man at his cutest!

What a honey!

Is it December already?!!

I have to apologize for the time between posts! Wow! I've been one busy mama!! I got sick like a week after my last post which put me so far behind on everything (but, the bittersweet part about getting sick was that Chad and Drew are now best buds!), then there was Thanksgiving and now we are full steam ahead for Christmas...C....R...A...Z...Y!

Drew is adjusting beautifully (thank you, Jesus!), and is nothing short of pure delight each and every day!!! Malia and Cole love their little brother but are not loving the sharing mommy aspect of another sibling! We knew this might be an issue so we are working out our schedule to give them special time. It's a juggling act and if any wise mommy's out there have any sage advice on how to do this well...please leave me a comment!

I'll close with some newer pics of the kiddos! I hope everyone is enjoying the preparations of Christmas, I know we are!
