Wow

Totally embarrassed I have gotten so behind in blogging, but with good reason. Christmas was a lot of fun. Katie was here Christmas week and it went by way to fast. Thanks to the family (and Apryl) for all the fun goodies. The kids were well spoiled as well as Brancent and myself. All the Christmas pics will be on my shutterfly site. www.lyonsfamilyadventures.shutterfly.com. If you need the password leave me a comment. One of the reasons for my lack of blogging is that the week after Christmas we had ASL honor students come help work on the preschool area at the church. It looks so good and I will be posting pics of it later today. Jacob is good just trying to survive his toothies. He is still crawling and pulling up on everything. Every now and then he gets brave and cruises between couch and recliner. Katie is doing good still enjoying dance and gymnastics and quickly approaching womanhood (Oy!). Her big gift from Daddy and I was Nellie an American girl doll. Nellie is the best friend to Samantha which the doll I got when I was Katie's age. Katie asked me "I get Samantha when you die right?" Good grief, the fact that I'm turning 30 this year prevented me from finding the humor in her comment. I taught her the word morbid and told her we weren't going to talk about it but yes she might get Samantha. We are going to Austin the 16-19 so will get to spend the weekend with Katie. This will be Jacob's first plane ride so super excited about that too. Hope everyone had wonderful holidays and a big Happy Birthday to Jaxson Mendoza who turned 1 on Jan 2!Katie and Jacob with cousin Simon SwopesOff with their heads!Silly siblingsKatie and Nellie
