heavenly homemaker: Merry Christmas 2008!

Well, I am remaining pretty consistent with updating the blog once a month...not purposefully, but it seems that I don't find the time except maybe once a month! As fellow moms can relate, when the babes are up and at 'em, the computer is not the most convenient place to be since they want to have a "hand" in everything Mama's doing. That's ok with cooking and cleaning, but the computer is a little more fragile than a pot or a mop!

So, as my last post for 2008, I'll give a quick update and post a few recent photos of the boys. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Jeff's aunt, uncle, and cousin coming up to visit for a few days. It was a bit intimidating to cook for my favorite cook, Aunt Linda! But, she contributed so much that the meal turned out pretty good.

Jeff's uncle and cousin also helped us find a minivan at that time in preparation for Baby #3. So, we bought an Odyssey which we got a great deal on (you know us...we rarely buy something unless it's a "deal"). Ethan especially likes the minivan, and for a while he woke up each morning with the first word/sign out of his mouth being "van" because he wanted to go see it in the garage. I guess everyone likes something different for a change, even a 2 year old!

The pregnancy is going well, praise the Lord...we hope to find out the gender early January! February 12th is just around the corner and we can hardly wait to welcome this new little member to our family!

We are leaving tomorrow to spend Christmas with family in the central AR area, so we are looking forward to that. My brother recently got engaged, and his intended is here for a visit from up north, so they are planning a hayride/weiner roast this Saturday...ought be fun AND cold! But, that's how us Southerners like to celebrate despite the weather!

And, now the photos:
