10 is Never Enough

We don't know how to function without the Hiatt's. They came over Monday night before we left NC. I seriously thought about abducting a few of them.

Lil Boo Got Punked

Isaac aka Ike aka Boo Boo had chapped lips like we all do because Missouri is the coldest place on earth.  He asked his sisters for chapstick. What he did not know was that the chapstick had color in it. Lil Boo wore his make up like a man!

Eat More Chicken

Thanks to our sweet Tina aka Visiting Teacher aka Tina Claus, we had our first dining out experience,  all 12 of us. Benjamin and I told the kids it will only be once a year, so enjoy. Chik FIL A was awesome,  we had our own employee to wait on us. It was easier to order the party tray.

My First Post Surgery Run

I am so thankful to be able to run and not be in pain. I didn't go far or fast, but I ran.

We Love Us Some Miss Joyce

Miss Joyce is the sweetest,  kindest friend. I am so thankful for her and her daughter Michelle.  We took the crew by to meet her after Christmas and Miss Joyce made sure there was homemade cherry ice cream for us! That sweet, sweet Miss Joyce!

Big Brothers

There are all kinds of reasons to appreciate big bros. Footstool is just one of many. Nine year-old Joshua helping four year-old Isaac Chad wash his hands. Joshua is the best big bro!

Xander feeding Mercedes.  She seriously never stops eating. She can put it down!

Ike making his lunch for school and letting Xander help.

Merry Christmas!

Our first Christmas!  Crazy wonderful!
