Santa brings Kayleigh a Barbie house. The day before she informs me that she's ready to sell her Barbies. She had a change of heart Christmas day. Santa also brought a pool. Mom & dad gave her furniture for the house.

Matthew and Kayleigh are part of a home school choir called Joyful Praise. The choir has thirty five families in it. They are really liking it, Kayleigh more than Matthew. They just finished their Christmas production and what a show it was. Matthew and Kayleigh were chosen for lead roles (carolers pictured here). The town has cancelled their performance for Christmas Eve. The kids go caroling door-to-door, to try and get the neighborhood to call town hall, all the while encountering different personalities and ministering, as only children can, about Christ and what Christmas is really about. Kayleigh's role was one of the largest and I was concerned how she would do. She did great with her lines! In fact she memorize the whole play, including accents, in Kayleigh fashion. Floyd and I were so proud. Don't worry grandparents, a video will be coming your way.

Welcome Family and Friends

We have decided to share our family times with you through blogging. I have had a few friends who share their family news to everyone through this website. They can share photos, video and news here and you can view it anytime you wish. We are real excited about the videos because now you can see live action of what we are doing. I have posted a video of the kids playing with my grandson Aston over this summer. To stop the music and hear the video push pause on the music player at the bottom of this blog. In the past I have been sceptical about putting our lives online but with everyone out and about in their own little worlds, I finally feel this is a good way to stay connected. You can also leave comments on this blog for us to see and no matter where we get stationed we will always have this running. So keep checking for postings of what we are doing. Also if you have a blog site let me know so we can follow it too.
