I know...it's been a while!

Sophie's actual birthday at Chuck E. Cheese..I didn't really get any pics at her real birthday party.
Grandmama and Sutton...James stayed home with Katelyn and I took Karlee!
Karlee was scared of everything, but finally got on with Sophie! "Karlee was shaking"! It's pretty fun when you ask her about Chuck E. Cheese she will show you how she was shaking!
Good pic. of Sutton! He is such a good Baby!
Karlee is really into dressing up! She is saying "taa daa" in that picture!
decorating the tree...Karlee said "oh mom I love my new socks" and this is what we found!
Pap helped decorate the tree!

We don't have very many family pics!
My first 5K run with girls from church! Great experience! Look forward to running more races!
Katelyn weighs around 17 pounds! She is a very healthy and beautiful baby!


Sisterly love!


Well, my last post was of Halloween and I have to say I don't really remember the month of November. My sister in law wrote a post about how she slacked in posting during the month of November because of the business of having twin 2 year olds and really I feel the same way with only one 2 year old! I am completely exhausted at the end of the day. I have George (10months old) 3 days a week and Karlee (2 years old) and Katelyn (5months old). George is here on Wed. from 7-5 and then we eat dinner go to community group at 6:30 come home go to bed and then he is back on Thursdays 7-5 and after that I am a zombie! I have been trying to relieve some stress by running! It really is not horrible though...I feel very blessed to be able to influence another child's life and bring in some extra money for our family. I told James I feel pretty prepared to have 3 children of our own and he says we are not prepared financially! Ha Ha! We would have to buy a bigger car! We will work on that in a few years! Anyways, I'll give a quick update of the girls!
Karlee is a talking machine! It absolutely amazes me the conversations we have. She has the most tender and caring heart. She is all the time complimenting me and rubbing my hair telling me," Mom I love you so very much"! She loves her family and talks about each of you all the time. She pretends to talk on the phone to Uncle Freddy and Frank a lot! She talks about how she will celebrate Jesus' Birthday with Aunt Susan. She always includes everybody in her prayers by name. "Great Gran bought me special treats.." She talks about Pa's favorite cookies and Nay Nay's baby's dolls. Fuzzy and Louis are talked about as well!! She names her dolls Kathryn and Sarah! Aunt Jodi and Uncle Chad, Sophie and Sutton are always on her mind. She tells me everything she does special with Grandmama and Grand daddy! She prays for Morgie and Matt! She loves her cousin Trey baby and the baby in Aunt Carrie's belly. She talks about Aunt Joan, Papaw and Devee, Lexie and Jeffery. On and on...we are def. talking about each of you EVERYday!
Katelyn is doing awesome! She is so sweet and tender as well. She is a mover and a talker like her sister! She has a little raspy voice...can't wait to hear her actually talk! She is so content and just does her own thing most of the time. If she cries you pretty much know she is tired or hungry or needs a diaper change. Katelyn responds to Karlee so well. I absolutely love to see the love they already have for each other. She is rolling and scooting everywhere. I'm sure she will crawl really soon. She is taking great naps and sleeping well at night. I love my girls!
That's the most I have ever wrote in a post...I did it to share with family but also for me to look back on. The blog is pretty much their baby books!
