Thanksgiving

I know this post is a bit late...

This year for Thanksgiving we stayed in Texas and celebrated with my sister and her family and friends, the Gaumers. Chenille was kind enough to have us ALL (10 adults and 7 kids-all under 3!!) over for lunch. We had a great time eating and visiting with each other. We ate until we couldn't eat anymore and then went home for naps. That evening Lauren and her fam came over to eat leftovers- my Grammy's famous dressing (yep, I cooked). We were very thankful for our friends and family.

Changes

We have had a lot of new changes in the past two months. We have moved back to Mississippi and are living with my parents and Victor's parents until June when we will be moving to Vancouver, BC. God is daily revealing himself to us. He has given Victor many opportunities to talk with pastors and speak at churches to share the vision God has given us for Vancouver. God is providing for us in ways we never imagined.

We moved back the first week of December and have been ON THE GO! We were able to spend Christmas Eve with Victor's grandparents, Christmas Day with my parents, Christmas Day night through Tuesday with Victor's parents, and then back to Pearl with my parents while my sister and her family were in town. We have settled down now and are in Pearl for three weeks.

The kids are both great. They are both so happy and fun to be around. Carson is constantly making us laugh and keeps us entertained. He loves playing with trains, cars, dancing and singing and building with blocks. And of course loves being outside! Brooklynn is becoming so active. She has rolled over several times from her stomach to back and is very close to rolling over from her back to stomach. She's holding up her head, grabbing anything in reach, cooing and smiling all the time. And like her brother she loves being outside too. Carson adores his little sister.

Curious George

The day finally arrived for the big "Guys Night Out." In August Victor saw previews for Curious George LIVE. We decided that would be a fun outing for the boys (especially after Brooklynn's arrival- Carson may need special alone time).

So, this past Thursday Carson and Victor headed out. Carson was so excited to see Curious George. When they got there he wanted to go into the theater right away! He loved every minute of it. Victor said, that he was very attentive and clapped between every scene with the rest of the audience. By the time they left, Carson had a t-shirt, flag, and a balloon (Victor admitted to being a sucker:)!

Ready to go!

Life with a Two Year Old!

Well, I have debated on sharing a "cute" story about Carson. First of all, we have had a very eventful past two weeks. Two Mondays ago we ended up in the ER. Carson apparently had croup (but for a mother who has barely experienced a child with a cold it was very overwhelming). He had to get a dose of steroids and a breathing treatment. He was such a trooper! The rest of the week he was pretty puny. He would play a little and then lay down. By Friday it seemed like he was getting worse. And on Monday morning we took him to the clinic on campus and he had an ear infection. I am very proud to say that he is MUCH better now.

Now, for the cute story... The other day we were all in the den and Carson tooted. I said, "Excuse you, did you toot Carson." He said, "No, it's a cow." Victor said, "Was it a cow or did you toot?" Carson replied, "NO! It's a COW!" paused and then said, "There's a cow in my booty!"
