Family jammin'

I so hope my kids get Chad's musical talent, as mine is nonexistent! Chad and Cohen never miss an opportunity to sing and play. Now Abe likes to get in the mix too!

Sweetness

Here's just a taste of the sweetness I wake up to every morning!

Everyone's favorite sack of potatoes

The kids favorite hobby right now is carrying Abe around from room to room. Piper will actually carry him around and play with him, she is an enormous help! Cohen's only intention is to prove that he *can* carry Abe around the house! He has yet to drop him but I fear that is a possibility. Abe just smiles and rolls with the punches, he is your typical third child, so easy-going and loving. He just enjoys their attention!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Here's to 2009!

I pray light and life, unity and love, peace and joy over my own family for the upcoming year. I pray blessings of health and prosperity, walking in the fullness that God offers. We will not limit God for I know he can do exceedingly, abundantly more than I could ask or hope for!


But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matt 6:33

For with God, nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37

Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10

For this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is our strength. Neh 8:10

Christmas Pics

Here are some pics from Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Piper and I went to the Moravian Lovefeast with Nana, which Piper kept referring to as "the Feast of Love and Grace," on Christmas Eve, then we let the kids each open one present. Abe was so cute opening presents, he actually tore paper and bows from his gifts, all of which he enjoyed more than what was inside the gifts!



Christmas morning consisted of more presents and a big, yummy breakfast (eggs, deer sausage, hashbrowns and yeast rolls). The big, yummy breakfast proved to be more for Chad and I, as we had to beg the kids to eat they were so excited.

Cohen's Guitar

We have been super busy during Christmas this year. We had an additional celebration this year to include my dad since he has no other family to celebrate with and did not attend any of the other gatherings. The kids were so blessed with gifts this year, with their birthdays both near Christmas and the addition of Abe, we had toys coming from every direction! One of everyone's fave gifts has been this guitar:


Cohen plays and sings all day. He writes songs for Piper and Abe and sings, "They call me the fireman, that's my name" evidently that is some old country song he has picked up from a friend!

Even Piper and Abe bide for some time on the guitar:

Barn Burning Birthday Bash

For Cohen's birthday we celebrated with cousins and the local fire department at our house. The fire department was doing a practice burn on our property to get rid of an old barn and Cohen thought they were there just for him! His Aunt asked him how he got the fire department to come for his party and he replied very matter-of-factly, "We just called them." This picture shows the burning in all it's glory:


Here is Cohen with his Kung Fu Panda cake:

And no party is complete without a wrestling smack down!
