Christmas Greetings

We are linking up to Kelly's Korner again today and displaying our Christmas card. Our card is always one of my favorite things about Christmas. Randall and I have always had a photo card since our first one in 2003. We used a wedding photo then. It is fun to go back and see how they have changed and stayed the same. We have a Christmas album that holds our card each year and our Christmas letter....I write a letter also. It is a 15 year book. We have filled 10 of them. Hard to believe sometimes.

It is so hard to choose a photo to represent us most years. We have such fun memories and our camera cards are always at capacity! This year I could have done an entire album but a greeting card can only hold so much. Our beach friend, Michelle was gracious to take these photos for us again this year. They are love in action this time, for sure! It is hard to keep a 3 year old boy contained for a photo session on the beach! I hope through our card you can see how thankful we are for the joy Jesus gives us and the love we have for Him and each other.

Merry Christmas from our home to yours!

Your card is precious, I always think about Christmas cards when people live in the south or somewhere that has no snow. I am from vermont where normally we always have snow. I have to say I Love your card and would love to be on the beach that you were on. HA!! Thanks for sharing.

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time. I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud! I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu

He's home!

I know you didn't know my dear husband was out of town. I decided not to post such information. I get scared enough as it is, I sure didn't want to advertise the information. Yes, you read correctly, I get scared. Before we had children, and well, even after Samuel was born, I would stay with a friend of mine when Stephen was gone overnight. When we moved from that town I didn't have anyone to stay with, so I would just sit up and watch tv all night. Fear kept me awake. Isn't that silly? Well, it didn't seem so at the time, but when I look back on it now it seems silly. That is until I have to be without a manly-man in the house. I'm telling you what, I hear every noise, sound, creak, croak. It's awful. Sunday night (the first night) while I was lying AWAKE in my bed I was praying and telling God that I knew He didn't want me to be fearful and that I knew there were many verses in the Bible that told of His being with me at nighttime . I just couldn'
