OK, so here are some pictures of the kids in the last couple of weeks. I will journal under each picture...
OK, so after (gasp) 3 days without a bath, I gave the kids a bath yesterday morning before heading to the mall to see Santa. Here is my confession...Macy's hair was wet and we needed to get moving, so I took out my hair dryer and brush and had SO much fun playing with her hair. She actually just sat there and let me do it. One more confession on why she just sat there, I have been known to run the flat iron through her hair in the mornings after I do my own hair and the iron has cooled down a little. It just looks so cute. I need help...I can feel myself being pulled into the world of baby pageants and ridiculous amounts of makeup...someone stage an intervention. So this is the picture I took, I paid $22 for the REAL one, but at least there is a Christmas tree in that one. Macy would have none of it....but her hair does look cute, right??
Yesterday was a full day of excitement with Santa in the morning and Trey's kids choir performance in the evening. Dan and I were the annoying parents. We got there early to save good seats and he ran the video and I took pictures. This is one of those parenting milestones...kids singing about Jesus is cute, but when it's YOUR kid, it kind of makes you want to cry and I really know the meaning of "my heart just melted". (Seriously, look at that smile!)
On the way to church I advised Trey not to pick his nose or touch his crotch, and Hallelujah, the only movements with his hands were the motions to the songs!
Another couple of pictures of Macy at gymnastics. She just loves it!
I included this picture to show how big she is.
Loving the bubbles...
Dan and I took the kids to Build a Bear workshop about a week ago and the kids loved it. Trey actually found a medical kit and a wheelchair for his dinosaur. It's so neat to see normal through his eyes.

Yay! I found your blog! I love all the pictures. Oh, and three days without a bath is nothing! :)
Teal, this reminds me of many years ago when we were the annoying parents. We were at Andrew's first CFBC children's choir concert- videos, cameras, etc. He DID pick his nose- right there on the front row for several minutes!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the update!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the update and pictures. Your commentary is priceless. (Especially the part about Trey's finding the wheelchair at Build-A-Bear!) I know I haven't even been gone a week, but I miss you all like crazy! Love ya!
Don't you love the pictures with the kids screaming and crying on Santa's lap????? They are PRICELESS when the kids get older!!! We have a few of them too! Was glad to see an update as I was beginning to wonder but glad things are okay! Your blog is wonderful and I am always appreciative of the updates! Enjoy your time in Houston and send our love to all.
God Bless and Merry Christmas!!!!
TOO CUTE!!! Jace didn't want anything to do with Santa either, it must be the age! Hope you have a great Christmas!
