Old and New

Happy December! Merry Christmas and soon to be Happy New Year! I just can't believe that Christmas is nearly upon us again.

The 2 youngest children and I are enjoying a very extended Holiday School Break. We are taking from Thanksgiving to Christmas off. I've done this in the past when the first 2 were in grammar school. It was a big hit for them and a great memory. I think it's going the same way for Em and Jess, too. Having snow yesterday and play practice at church really helps, ofcourse.

The pictures are from this last week. Yesterday during halftime periods of all the football hoopla John and the kids put together the gingerbread house. It turned out great. Jesse had to eat some of the royal icing. That's a great picture of childhood, don't you think?

Emily has been really looking to find her own style and purchased this hat this week at Claire's. Marci and I met up at the mall with our youngest boys for the monthly Lego Build. Nick had just turned 11 the day before. He and Jesse have gotten to know eachother a bit this year. It's been fun. The last time they'd 'seen' eachother Jesse was yet to be born and Nick was barely 3. Military life is fun when people you love come back into your lives again!

We've been told we are moving. Not sure when, not sure where yet, but we are moving! Wow are there tons of details to be worked out for this move. We've been talking about it a lot this weekend and would just ask that you pray for and with us over this one.
