Let it Snow!!

We had our first snow of the season and it was absolutely gorgeous. It was my day to spend the afternoon with Matthew, which is really nice to get to devote all of your time to one child! We took a nap together, played in the first snow, ate oatmeal by the fire and ran to Walmart to buy some Christmas decorations. I had a fun day! Here are some pictures of the first snow and also of Thanksgiving. Corey and his parents and the kids drove to Amarillo to spend the day with Corey's Mema and the rest of the William's family. I was sick and opted out of a confined car ride to keep from exposing everyone to my germs. I was sad not to be with them at lunch. They had a lot of fun and played hard. That night Grandad and Granny came over and Grandad cooked eggs and bacon for everyone.

This was one of the most beautiful snows I've ever seen in West Texas....the flakes were huge and they were just dancing their way down to the ground it was so calm!

He wanted to catch one on his tongue or in his mouth but didn't like it when they landed on his face!

Matthew, Mema (Roger's Mom) and Cambell. We don't get to see our Mema near enough.

Matthew knows how to charm!

Just Post It....

Who cares how cute the words are when Cambell is making this face!

I keep putting of posting b/c I haven't been able to come up with something cute and clever...so now we are months behind! The kids are growing and changing like kids do so quickly. Cambell is trying to walk and becoming more and more vocal everyday. She says, "oh-oh, Mama, Dada and MeMe (which I think is Matthew)." Tonight she was so cute and we were playing peek a boo with Matthew after bath...Cambell would cover up her right ear and then uncover it and start laughing! Matthew is so vocal. I am amazed that we can carry on a conversation with him and his vocabulary is growing daily. Tonight Mauxi was barking and he ran over to her and said, "Mauxi, you behave, stop barking, I'm going to put you outside, bad dog!" It was hilarious. He loves to stop in the middle of anything to pray. It is humbling to hear him give thanks for so many things that we take for granted, even the lights and windows and milk. Sweet babies. Life is good! Here are some catch up pictures.

Scary Matthew Lion..He had a great time trick-or-treating with Mommy, Daddy and Mammaw and Pappaw. Then we went to Granny and Grandads and ate all of the candy!

Sweet Ladybug! She had such a good spirit...no-one could tell she'd been running fever to 104 for 5 days! Little trooper. She finally got over it, but it was a long week with high fever despite tylenol and motrin and lots of love!

We should all be so quick to stop and say thanks.

Happy Girl.

She loves looking out the door. She also loves her Grandad.

Here is a fit in snapshots. #1...Making sure someone is watching....

#2...it is so awful she must plant her face in the carpet to scream....and repeat!

Okay...no one is watching....all better.

Riding his cow named Horse with a Halloween bucket on his head...how much fun!

He can make her laugh like no one else can!

This is her new favorite thing to do...she is dying to walk on her own!

Tonight he found Daddy's shoes and hunting hat and wanted to wear it all.

Playing with his daddy and the toys his daddy played with as a kid.

Trying to take a step. She is so determined!

He loves his sister.
