Jason had a rather rough start to the new year! He was hit pretty hard with a slow moving kidney stone on Christmas Eve, and it didn't pass until Jan. 4! He was in a tremendous amount of pain. We made two trips to the ER and one to the urologist. Then, back to work he went on the Blue Grass Parkway when he hit a patch of black ice and had a terrible car wreck. Even after flipping the Envoy, he walked away sore and scratched up. Thank you God for protecting him. He is back to normal now. He was able to get a 2008 Camry with low miles. He is happy with his new job. My favorite thing is listening to him play football with the boys after work. I love you Jason!

Cara, Lennie, and Emily.... I love you!

We celebrated the new year with our life group. It was a fun night! Well, it would have been better with my sweetie.

We're ready for Santa!

This is the tree we hunted for and cut down with Uncle Jesse. It's such a great memory for the kids.

My kids absolutely love their cousins. We feel so blessed to have cousins so close in age and so close in proximity. I think their mom is pretty cool too ;)

On Sunday evenings Amy loads up all five kids and takes them to Immanuel Baptist for Sunday night church. It's two hours of bible study and play. The kids love it! Each week we have a little homework to do. We read a story, answer a few questions, and memorize a verse. There are two wonderful things about this 1- kids receive more bible teaching 2- Jason and I have 2 1/2 hours to ourselves each week! Most often we use it for cleaning and getting ready for the week, but it's better to do it alone than with kids messing up everything as we clean.
