Birthday Vacation

For Graham's birthday, we headed to Dallas to visit some family, do some shopping, go on a much needed date, and take the girls on a train ride.  It was so nice to take a little vacation.

Road Bumps

We are without Internet again.  It is a long story, but I don't think we will get it back until our house sells and we move to our permanent location.

I came up to the church to upload some pictures for printing, do some banking, blog, check my email, add to my Netflix queue, check the news/weather, upload some videos, Facebook, read some blogs, and finish some online Christmas shopping.  Boy, do I love and miss the Internet.

I worked on a couple of blog posts that are scheduled to post over the next couple of days.  It was very difficult to blog with the girls playing and needing my attention.  Needless to say, the posts are just some pictures with a little bit of explanation.  I imagine that is how they will be until I can concentrate on the content more.

We are still praying that our house sells soon.  Whew!  It still kinda feels like we are living in limbo.  Anybody know the feeling?

Gingerbread House

Ta Da!

"More"

Edy has learned to sign "more".  It is SO cute.  The other day, my dad was tickling her and she signed "more" when he stopped.  It was so funny.  Sometimes, I catch a glance of her justa signing while patiently waiting for me to acknowledge her!  It's precious.

I had to repost the video of Ava Grace signing "more".  I think she was just shy of a year here.  I love how their interpretations of "more" are a little different.  Check it out:
