COOLING OFF

Kaitlin and her new companion, Sister Boud.  Kaitlin says it is really hot and the fleas are really bad.

COUNTING DOWN

Kaitlin reached her half way mark last week. It seems like she has been gone forever, but it is also crazy to think that she has less than 9 months left. It was great to talk to her with Skype on Christmas! She is happy!

A New Favorite

Tristan gave me a Clarisonic for Christmas (with some help from Chelsey, thank you). At first, I thought it would something I would have to work at to make using it a habit. It is so easy, however, and leaves my face feeling so tingly and smooth. I love it. I use it every night! How did I ever wash my face all these years without it?

Cutest Shepherds Ever

We were a little short on people for our Christmas nativity on Christmas Eve. But what we lacked in numbers, we made up for in cuteness!

Mama Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys

Tyler wants to be a farmer when he grows up. This is what he looks like after going to the fields with grandpa to water the horses. I think he had better think of another career. Like maybe an allergy specialist?
