The many Family events over Christmas....

This year, more than ever, so many thoughts were going though my head as we celebrated Christmas: Jesus' birth... Hope... Peace... Blessings...Savior...because God sent His only son... So Thankful. Christmas is a time to remember it is not about us- at all, but ALL about HIM. We do not deserve any of the blessings He has given us... THANK YOU JESUS!!!

"meeting the 5th marek member"

We took a quick trip to visit our friends and meet their newest little one... Baby Grant! He is a precious little boy who was such a joy to meet and love on for the weekend. Thanks guys for having us!!! As always, we had a blast and hated to leave. We made lots of memories in such a short time together. You are all so special to us! Thanks for always being there and faithfully helping us to pray our son home. We can't wait for Nathan to meet his "Texas Family" :)

my fuzzy babies...

Anyone who knows me, knows I love animals and I would have a house full if Casey would let me, especially a house full of weims! (what brock is) These two animals are high maintenance, but I am so glad we have them around for entertainment and to love on. I do not know what we would do with out them?? (I would probably drive myself and Casey crazy)

Brock and Graycie are becoming more friends than roomates these days. They are about an inch apart in this picture. Graycie has just started this week wanting to lay right next to Brock like this. She tries to pretend she hates him, but she really enjoys having a big bully around:) For those of you who know Graycie, you know how HUGE this is. Since the move, we have seen a new side to her and I LIKE IT! But I am not changing my mind, SHE will still be the one and only ALLUMS CAT!

When you are a pet in our house you get special treats like this when you get neglected. Brock was very much neglected last weekend when the girls stayed with us and this was our peace offering to him. I think he is over it now, but he still is not happy when he sees them coming:). He likes to be the center of attention, even if it is only to sleep on the couch all day. Boy is he going to be in trouble when Nathan is home:)!

The many faces of Brock... Have you ever seen a dog pose for the camera?? I guess that is what happens when his mama's hobby is photography:) All I have to do is say "SIT BROCK" and then I start snapping away!

i love these girls...

They keep me from loosing my mind some days and try to make me loose my mind the other days. I do not know what I use to do on my days off before these two blessings came along. It is so much fun to spend my free days with them. What memories we are going to have...
