Christmas Crafts and Winter Sports


We've had a great Saturday today, making crafts and going to basketball.  Madeline started making a wreath during Fall Break in Atlanta, using Weeping Willow branches from Mark and Rebecca's tree.  We saved the wreath, and added a bit of Christmas cheer today.  We were quite proud of ourselves!  The two of us are not the craftiest pair in the world, so this was quite the accomplishment.  So, I took her pic and she took mine :-)  So, if you come by, keep in mind that we crafted this thing all by ourselves....


Soccer ended, basketball is well under way.... Madeline seems to love it!  Her team has won all of it's games so far, and she has scored a basket or too.  Fun times all around :-)

Veteran's Day


On Veteran's Day I wanted to take a moment to recognize the hard work and sacrifices of all of those who wear the uniform, and all of their families who sacrifice right along with them.  I enjoy peace, the ability to pursue my dreams, and the ability to speak freely because of their hard work and sacrifice, and I appreciate it!
