from our family to yours!!

“loving God, during this holy season of christmas, we ask for your blessing on all families. let mary’s openess to your wondorous ways be an inspiration to place all trust in you. let joseph’s courage provide hope during times of anxiety and uncertainty. let jesus’s life ignite all families with a spirit of light and love. may the grace that encircled the holy family widen to embrace all families. for this we pray. amen.”
oh you know, a whole month! i could break it down post by post… but i don’t know if i have the patience. it was hard enough to be away this long. so i came up with the top 10 events that can happen in just a month. it may be picture over load but that’s what i love most anyways 🙂
10. before halloween weekend we met our sweet friends out at blessington farms! i want to go back already. we could have spent all day on those slides!
9. jack attended his last cgs class. oh such great formation he received. we are sure missing these great people!
8. we went trick or treating one last time in our neighborhood. we sure missed daddy this time. we even had our pumpkin pizza. mama found out it is very hard to trick or treat and hand out candy at the house at the same time. our little referee was blowing the whistle and taking all the candy he could get.
7. sweet samuel turned the official t w o .. we celebrated with getting a birthday blessing at gramps and granny’s church and then meeting nana and papaw at the park. he was so excited they brought maudie along to play 🙂 we headed to san antonio to spend the weekend celebrating with daddy! so proud of our big boy!
6. we had our 4 year and 2 year old check up and a sad goodbye to the only doctor the boys ever knew… he was a great one 🙂
5. we said goodbye to the best first house we ever had. such wonderful memories! we moved in as a family of 2 and moved out as a family of 4 🙂 it couldn’t have been more perfect!
4. we lived in bc during our transition time thanks to gramps and granny and dana and mike for putting up with us so long. it just made pulling the band-aid off that much harder..
i also was blessed to spend a weekend retreat with the best friends a girl could ask for… it was not so silent but we had a number of excuses 🙂
3. on november 17 we closed our our new home! we feel very blessed for this smooth transition and beautiful house we can now call home!
2. luckily once we moved, it was only a week before we went back to bc to celebrate the baptism of sweet emily grace!
1. we celebrated a wonderful thanksgiving with the new sweet addition to the family!
*bonus news*
our new house is looking a little cozier with christmas decorations instead of boxes galore 🙂 i don’t have many pictures of it because around this crazy month my camera lens has taken a turn for the worse. however, i have a wonderful sister who let me borrow hers after thanksgiving… so a new post will follow soon!
until next time… promise it won’t be as long as last 🙂
