As you know, there are SO many picture-worthy moments during this holiday season. I updated Ainsley and Braxton’s picture pages with just a GLIMPSE of the fun that has been had. These are just some pictures off of my camera, which I don’t even focus right most of the time. There are many more pictures to come from our Texas trip, Thanksgiving, Tennessee, Santa, etc. But, for now, here are some precious pictures that capture some of the AWESOME times we are having as a family.

These pictures include some fun from Halloween. cooking, crafts, Christmas fun, and our Penny Carnival. The Penny Carnival raised money for my friend, Whitney’s, orphanage in Ehthiopia she is adopting from. It was a wonderful time for people from the community to save their change over a month, then come together at the park and play games with that change. We raised over $150, plus donated items. As I type this, Whitney is on the airplane, heading to Ethiopia to meet her little Gebre.

Make sure you check out Brian’s flickr link to see his newest photos. And, go to his photo web site to see his work. He is excelling as a photographer, and God is providing through this extra job.

The kids are doing great. Ainsley is still in gymnastics and always has a song she is singing. She loves her family, and treats her brother so well. I am so proud of her. Braxton is talking a LOT now. He loves that we understand him when he communicates now. Braxton is very tender-hearted, but also all boy. He, too, loves his family and ADORES his big sister. When she isn’t around, he misses her greatly. They are best buds.

That is all for now. Just enjoy the pics and come back for more soon.
