December activities began with the Women's Christmas event at our church. I co-hosted a table, which meant that we were responsible for decorating the table and inviting our table guests. I was so blessed to have Mom F. drive in from Rowlett to attend with me. My ex-next door neighbor, Callie, was also my guest. We had a great night of fellowship.
Next on the December agenda - Winter Wonderland - an event that our neighborhood association puts on every year. They make snow and cover this hill in our neighborhood and provide sleds for you to ride on. This was probably the worst idea that Keith and I have had thus far in parenting. First of all, it was freezing. Second, the wind was blowing very, very hard. Third, we weren't dressed for the event - let's just say there was a lot of mud. It took me longer to clean up our clothes after we got home than the amount of time we spent there for the boys to slide down two times each with Keith. Mom and Dad F. went with us...I don't think they'll be saying yes to any other ideas Keith and I propose for awhile :)
Paul Williamson came to visit us a couple of weekends ago. It was so good to get to see him. His whole life is about to change like ours did last year. He graduates from DTS this month and will be getting married this summer to a beautiful lady, Anna Shaver. After they get married, they will begin raising support to be missionaries with Wycliffe.
Kamden has a new routine. He lays in his bed and waits patiently for Kade to go to sleep. Then, he gets up and comes out to spend time with mommy and daddy by himself. He is so cute that he makes it really hard to send him back to bed.
We attemped to make a gingerbread train on one of our family nights. Let's just say that I think more candy got into Kade and Kamden's mouth than onto the train as decorations.
Kamden got his first black eye last week. He collided with Kade in the hallway and walked away with evidence of the collision.
I will close with a couple of pics of Kale at 4 months old. I took him for his 4 mo check-up and he weighs 16 lbs, 12 oz. He has to be the happiest baby ever - always with a huge smile to give to anyone who will look at him. Lately, he has been spending more time on his tummy and has gotten pretty good as grabbing anything within reach. He is sleeping 12 hours at night and only nursing 4 times a day. He is growing up way too fast - as are Kade and Kamden.
Good night!
