"Baby Yum"

Andi says "baby yum" when she sees something she wants to eat..

We hear "baby yum" numerous times during the day...

John's Big Buck

John shot an eight point deer!! 185 pounds!!

Yes, the deer head is being mounted!!

Andi and the boys will ride around and around on these "cars" -- always coming up with a new game or way to play.

Notice Emma is in Thomas' shirt. Emma went to China with us. Andi held onto Emma's pigtails when at the Civil Affairs office.

New Year's Day in Florida

2012 and our baby girl is home!!

Fred, the elf, is lots of fun to have around during December.
A girl elf also showed up this year. She has not been named yet.

Christmas milk appears in the refrigerator this time of year. It is either red or green and has a vanilla taste.

My boy is growing up!!

This is what Andi brought down from her nap. She always gathers up blankets and toys when you get her out the crib... a fun girl...

For the last few years we have put luminaries out for the neighborhood on Christmas Eve.
The boys put out over 500 bags to line the whole street. Mr. Phil, neighborhood boss, oversees the "worker bees" -- makes for a beautiful street.

Andi and GG dance with Santa. She would not hold Santa's hand herself but wanted everyone to hold his hand.

More Christmas Photos

The boys performed a short "play" of the nativity story at church--Thomas (wise man), Steven (shepherd), John (wise man), and Andi (an angel, of course). I had no idea that Andi would be in the play -- what a wonderful surprise. Yes, she wore her pink crocks to church with a Christmas dress! She loves her crocks...

Andrew and his buddies went flounder gigging one night! So good to be out of school!!

The Catch of the Night!! We had some delicious fried fish!

Christmas

Making gingerbread house or eating candy?

Andrew and Andi

We both love sweets

We rehearsed what will happen when we visit Santa, but Andi was still not happy to see him even if he gave her a candy cane.

Love these kids!!
