{thinking}

I'm thinking of archiving this blog and starting fresh in the new year. I now have a portion of my family across the world, in China. The internet and a blog is my best way to communicate with them and keep them up to date so that one day when they return to the states that I feel like they still know who we are. :) I want to be able to open up and have a place to share with everyone what's going on in our world - that means family, friends, and all of you that still come here. I'm not sure the best way to go about it... I think i'll just end up making this private and starting fresh.

I could just direct them here, I know.. but there is nearly 3 years worth of stuff here.. and for a long time I used this as a venting source. :) So I don't really think anyone needs to come read my archives. But there is so much stuff I have recorded here of the girls that I don't want to delete it either.

So ... at any rate... I 'll let you know where I decide to go. And of course that means I'll have to be a better blogger. Oh, boy!

{christmas morning}

Here are a few snaps from our Christmas morning. It was by far, the best yet. We are so blessed.



Delaney with one of her requests from Santa. I loved the simplicity of the things she asked for. I mean if you could have seen how much excitement a pack of princess lip gloss brought this little girl.








Those are just a few. I'm sure I'll have more coming behind these.. or watch my flickr. :)

{the holiday rush}

So busy, so busy. I'm beginning to think my life will always be chaos - holiday season or not.

Here are a few pictures from some holiday fun times!

Babygirl's Christmas dance show, working on the tree, the Christmas parade, baby sissy shaking her booty, and happy times with Santa. Our second Santa encounter didn't quite go so well!

{i haven't done what i said i was going to do}

blog more.... oops. i'll stop making promises to anyone who still comes here... but i'm making another promise to myself to be a better blogger. i went back last night and read some archives and i realized how much of the little, tiny, fun moments of life i was recording here. i want to continue to do that for my girls!

here are a few pictures from thanksgiving day. :)







seperate posts with updates (and pictures) of both girls coming soon! hopefully tomorrow.
