December 22? Really?

We cannot believe that it is already December 22nd? Where has the month gone? For us it has been spent in a blur. Josh's schedule got changed from mornings to nights which has thrown all of us out of whack. I have been picking up more hours to help make ends meet. The four of us have been playing hot potato with a nasty cold bug which had it's first go round when the girls got their flu immunizations... we may be skipping that one next year.
Here is a little update on the girls.


First we have Rhian.......

Her Sunday School class performed a few songs on the stage for the whole church on Sunday. Rhian was very excited about this performance. She practiced the songs and hand motions all week. We heard about "telling it on the mountains" and "mighty days" and "wishing you Merry Christmas" all week long. Then comes Sunday morning, the big day. She gets up o nthe stage with her class and proceeds to cup her head in her hands and grimace while the class sings. Mammy was sure she was nervous and was pleading with me to get her and remove her from her anguish. When she did come down her words were simple...
"They didn't give me my own microphone!"


And now for Lily Marie......


Since the last update Lily has started eating some solid foods. She has tried Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Peas, Squash and a little bit of Banana. Believe it or not, Squash is her favorite and much more believeable, peas are her least favorite.... and our least favorite when it comes to diaper time. She is such a smily girl. She has a wonderful laugh and a funny sense of humor already. She "talks" with her eyebrows until you crack a smile and then she giggles and coos. Her sissy can really get her laughing (thanks Rhian for helping us get the picture above!).

Merry Christmas!
