Prayer Needed!

Dear friends, Andrew and I feel so blessed to have such wonderful, faithful friends and family. Today we are asking you to assist us is praying for a dear friend. This is Kai (Malachi) he is the son of one of my sister's best friends. He is two years old and a wonderful little boy. Right now Kai is fighting an ongoing battle against leukemia. He has been fighting hard for some time.

Over the past couple of days his family has received some "not so great" news. They found out that while Kai was in remission, the cancer has come back. Needless to say this is not what they hoped for, and they have a long fight ahead of them.

Kai's parents, Rachel and Wes, are amazing people. They are trusting the Lord and His perfect sovereign plan for Kai's life. You can find more about their story at http://www.wesrachsmith.blogspot.com/

I am asking you to please join us in praying for this family as they face this newest trial. Please pray that the doctors will have wisdom in treating Kai. Pray that the Lord would give Rachel and Wes strength and peace. Pray for Kai's older brother Ethan as he deals with this situation. Pray thst the Lord gives Kai strength and relieves any pain he might be in. Pray for a miracle and healing.

Thank you so much for taking this family into your hearts.

Merry Christmas

Camera Phone Photo's

Here are some photo's I have taken over the past couple months on my phone. They are random pictures of me and Soph out and about!

Sophia bundled up at the grocery store Chatting with the dog at Old Navy

Reading one of Mommy's books while snuggling up in Mommy's bed.

I really have the best job in the entire world!! :)

The Best Advent Calender Ever!

The 25 days till Christmas countdown is very exciting this year! My Mom and Sister sent Sophia the coolest Christmas countdown. They sent her 25 individually wrapped Christmas books!! Each one is labeled with the day she is to open it. So every night before she goes to bed, she unwraps her new Christmas book and we read it. Isn't that awesome!!!! I love books (so does Soph) and how much fun is a new Christmas story for every night! Opening Dec 2nds book! Reading

Reading and more reading!

Pointing at the pretty pictures

Thank you Mimi and Auntie Ali...we love our new books!

So much to be thankful for....

Our Thanksgiving this year was small...it was just the three of us. We decided not to travel since we had just gotten back from two weeks of traveling. We missed our families, and all the fun we have with them. I cooked Thanksgiving "lunch", and we went around the table listing the things we were thankful for. I think that I am going to have us do this much more often :) Here are some photos of our tiny little Thanksgiving. (above it our fireplace and the cute "give thanks" sign I bought for 3 dollars!!)

Two of the people I am most thankful for.
