So much to do....

......so little time! This week we are traveling to Alabama for Thanksgiving! WHOOHOO!! We get to travel with a 2 & 1/2 year old and a 1 month old, this should be interesting! LOL!! I'm sure it will go fine....says the Daddy! I have so much to do to get ready for this trip! Packing (this time for 2 kids!), laundry, cleaning, dishes, etc. etc. etc. Not to mention that some kid at church got Jeremiah sick last night! Question....why do parents bring their children to church coughing (like the croupy sound!) and their nose running uncontrollably?? WHY?? I ask! Do they think..'maybe no one else will catch this.' Or do they just not care that it might, just might infect another child?! Responsibility people!! That's all I ask!

Ok, now that my ranting is over! hahaha! It's time to get back to work!

One quick story! Jeremiah is a funny kid, and here's why. Last night he felt the need to take EVERY toy out of his toy box, and I mean EVERY toy! Here's the scenario, He finds a toy and says, "Mommy, I got a phone!! I talk to Opa! Hello Opa! Ok, bye!" and then throws it over his shoulder! "Mommy! I got Luigi!" (For those of you who may not know, Luigi is a character in the movie 'Cars') "Mommy! I got a Zebra!" "Mommy! I got Superman!" "Mommy! I got a ball!" Thus, throwing ALL the toys in the middle of the living room! It's hilarious to watch because he gets so excited over a small toy he hasn't seen in literally months! He only plays with the toy for 1/2 a second and then throws it behind him and keeps going. So, now, a project I have given myself on top of trying to get ready for the Alabama trip is to go through the toys and try to get rid of some that way it can be filled back up again at Christmas! LOL!! Off to toy sorting I go!

She's here!

Well for those of you who don't know, Rachel Ann Bates joined our family on October 21st. She is beautiful and I can't stop looking at her. The Lord has blessed our family in so many ways! It's a short post, but I need to nap while both children are! And that doesn't happen often! :) Here are a couple of pics for you to enjoy!

Aren't they just cute! Jeremiah's first time to hold his Sister!

Here we are the new Army of 4!

My Cuties! Jeremiah was a giarraffe and Rachel was a Panthers cheerleader for Halloween! (Daddy actaully got the Panthers outfit! It was hard, him being a Colts fan and all!!!)
