Christmas at Home

 

A few scenes from around the house. Enjoy!

We're Back!!!

This fall has taken us by storm!! We are sorry that we have been out-of-pocket! I have a hard time keeping up! To update you: Leah started 4th grade and we started Ellie in K. She is doing great! As a matter of fact, she started reading this week!!! My baby!!! We have been to VA 3 times. Stan's Uncle Bill died and then about 2 weeks later, Granny Turner died. These were sad and joyful times for the family. Both knew the Lord and were ready to go. We were so blessed that Stan's job and the kids are mobile and we were able to be in VA with the family. Stan and I also took a few days alone! and revisited our honeymoon site in Warm Springs,VA. We went to VA one more time a few weeks ago to surprise Grammie and PawPaw for their 40th anniversary. Brad and I gave them a little party. I think they were thrilled to see so many friends from past and present.
Leah is gearing up for another musical this weekend. We are so proud of how she is branching out. She is in a choreography group this time.
And last but not least, Miss Ellie broke her arm. This happened as we were packing to leave for VA the last time. (She was practicing her roundoffs and cartwheels in the front as Stan and I loaded!) So, off to ER we went before we left the state! Here are some pics. She wore a hard splint the first week and now has a nice, purple cast. The hardest thing about it all has been keeping her on the ground and walking!
The Lord answered many prayers during this ordeal about her bones being laid straight and not overlapping (as they were upon injury). We found out Monday that God had answered and Ellie would not have to be put to sleep to correct.
Well, I hope to post before the new year!! Happy Thanksgiving! We have so much for which to be thankful.

R U Amazed?

Saw this at church Sunday night. "Your Grace Still Amazes Me" by Phillips Craig and Dean. Turn down the volume on playlist (at the bottom) so you can hear it.

Our Little Princesses!

Well, we finally made it to get the girls' annual photoshoot! Here are some of our favorites!

Making a Memory!

 

Some people will do some crazy things for a memory and/or free food! Back during the summer, Chick-Fil-A had a fun promotional. Anyone who dressed like a cow from the head up received a free entree. Anyone who dressed like a cow from head to hoof received a free meal of choice! Now you say "Free Food" and the Jones family will show up!! I admit, we were a little nervous driving over there thinking "What if it really isn't today?" But, it was and we had a blast eating our free meals (not to mention we did something fun and unusual to make a memory). We apologize to Stan that this is the only picture we had to capture this memory - since his eyes are closed!

Leah's Blogging Debut!

Leah now has her own blog!!! She has been asking for one for awhile. She is the manager and publisher and has done a super job getting started. (Hopefully, she will be much better at staying up-to-date than her poor Mom!) Please take a minute to stop by and visit her site. The link is on the sidebar under "Family and Friends on the Web". Thanks!
