Our Complete Family

Our family is now complete with the arrival of our precious Caeleigh. Last Christmas I could not wait to have her with us. This year seemed like a dream. She was so happy, yelling "yea" after opening each present. All of us enjoyed watching her, she was so fun!!

Thank You Oakley

Thank you Oakley for my new Christmas present. I loved it and wore them to bed last night.

Oakley is Caeleigh's best friend from her orphanage in China. They loved each other and share a special friendship. She now lives in Kentucky and we stay connected via email,phone and a visit this last summer.

Taylor finished third in Siouxland Conference last night.

Hey, I 'm really starting to enjoy this blogging!!

We had a great weekend with Taylor taking first in his wrestling tournament. We are very proud of him.

Caeleigh always makes me smile. Check out her two new sleeping positions. She has unloaded my tree a couple times a day for the last few days. I just replace them when she is not looking.

Taylor looked like he was dying here,but Caeleigh was happy he won!!

A Busy Month

The time does seem to fly by. We are in the midst of our busiest month. Jeff and I enjoy having many holiday get-togethers at our home. It is fun, but the month does seem to slip by.

Taylor is busy with wrestling. He is having a good season so far. He did not wrestler last year so he has had a couple of tough matches.

Caeleigh was dedicated to the Lord. It was special to have Ryan home with us to celebrate God's rich blessing of this special little girl. She continues to charm most of us. She can be crabby in the morning. But after a hour she is happy and making us all smile. It is so fun to see her bloom. She is one special little girl. Oh how thankful we are for her.

Alec is busy with basketball. He is quite social and loves sports.

We finished football and now we start wrestling. So soon I will have no free weekends, but I love to watch Taylor wrestle. I am not sure how Caeleigh will do at those long meets.

Ryan comes home next Sat., but I am on call, so I will not get to go to the airport. He calls and talks to me quite often, so I am OK. Caeleigh is being dedicated to the Lord on Sunday. Again I am on call, but a nurse is covering church time for me.

Four Great Kids

Some of you have not seen these pictures, so I thought you might like them.

Ryan will be home soon from his time in the military, 2 weeks I think. Hopefully we will be together for Thanksgiving. I know I will work some that day, but I hope not all day.

Taylor is a junior. He is just starting his wrestling season. He needs to gain10 lbs, so I guess I will be spending $250.00 per week instead of 200.00. He goes through about a gallon of milk every day.

Alec is in 6th grade. He's a good kid. Easy to raise, I sure love him!!

Ms Caeleigh is my beautiful Asian Princess. Love that girl!!

Mrs. Jeff

I hope you all know I am teasing Jeff. I love and respect him very much, but I enjoy a good laugh!! He is a great husband and father.

Do not tell Jeff

Do Not Tell Mr. Whitt Yes, miracles still happen!! Karen has started a Blog. I am expanding brain tissue yet untouched. So here goes. Jeff thinks blogging is a waste of time and focused on ourselves. But I do not agree. I enjoy reading all of yours, so why not?
