- We are no longer just a family of 6. We still have the 2 adults and the 3 kids. We added a dog, Sadie's new best friend. Her name is Holly. (She is pictured above with Logan.) She found us one rainy morning and when I heard she was just staying with a foster family and up for adoption, I knew we just had to have her. Life was crazy...life is crazier now. Oh well! The kids are happy and Sadie is wildly happy. Long story short: we are a family of 7. (We do have 2 fish and a turtle but that would be weird if I counted them in the family count. We also had 2 hamsters but they didn't make it to 2013. That is another story for another post.)
- David is still a firefighter but he is now a paramedic also.
- J-Rae does not teach 2nd grade anymore (I do miss it a lot, especially my LES peeps!). Now, I am working for our church as the Director of Children's Ministries. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new job! I work part time, from home a lot but also go into the office when needed, and I get to keep Sam home with me. Honestly, I am a better person in all ways because of this opportunity God blessed our family with. I was praying for a change for a while. God heard my prayer and had a plan. I could not be happier! Maybe I could be if I could just bring all my LES peeps to church to work with me. Now that would be fun!
- The kids are still the lights of our lives...without a doubt! Logan and Addie changed schools this year, due to the fact I was no longer teaching at LES. They LOVE their new school. I do too! It is a nice country school with great teachers, kids, and families. Of course, they miss their LES peeps too! We just need to have a big LES play day!
- I have A LOT of GRAY HAIRS! It is just crazy...and they are just popping up everywhere.
- I am blogging again! I like it!

It has been a while...
Well, it has been more than one year since my last post. Why did I stop blogging? No specific reason but it all boils down to being a busy mom. Once I was a little behind, I gave up because I saw no hope in catching up. Now, I have had a change of heart!
I just spent some time looking through the many pictures and memories. It just makes me so happy to see the past 5 years of our life. Click on our very first post...First Timer...to see where this all began. I can't believe how little Logan and Addie were. It is just hard to imagine that we did not even have Sam when I started this blog. Now, as happy as it makes me to look through the blog, it makes me so sad to think I let the last year go by with nothing on our blog. It is unacceptable and I AM BACK TO BLOGGING! I want to remember it all. I see now just how great the blog is at letting me remember it all! So, readers who probably do not exist anymore, please visit often for your reading enjoyment...
2012 posts will be coming soon as I play catch up. They might be all out of order and mixed in with current posts. This drives me crazy and it is part of the reason I just quit. I like order. However, I am allowing myself to blog out of order...like it or not. Ready, set, go...

A Happy Birthday for Jesus
Christmas Day was such a fun, fun, fun day! Of course, the kids LOVE it because of the big guy who comes down the chimney but it's such a special day because it's the birth of our Savior!
Here is our day in pictures...
Santa came...
