• Rainy Days and Starbucks Christmas Blend

  I can’t believe I’m posting this picture for all the world to see. (or maybe just the 10 or so of you that will actually stop by) No makeup and in my PJ’s…what am I thinking?

  Today is one of those days that I probably won’t get out of my PJ’s until I absolutely have to. Reagan has tap class this afternoon so I’ll have to make myself eventually I guess. But rainy days always have this effect on me – I just want to cuddle and watch a movie and drink coffee.

  Rylee has ceased to be a good napper – she used to take 2-3 good long naps everyday and now she fights me so much that I am lucky to get 20 minutes out of her. I won’t complain too much because she is still sleeping a good 10 hours straight at night so I’ll shut up about sleep issues.

  We have seriously cut back on our Christmas shopping this year. Don and I aren’t buying each other anything that won’t fit in our stockings and I have been pretty good at sticking to the budget for the kids. Even with the budget I have found some great things for Reagan that I’m so excited about. I’ll be sure to post pictures after he opens everything. I can’t wait – I’m such a holiday junkie.

  Bryan took some great pictures for us last Sunday. (it’s great to have a brother who will take free pics for his sister…love you, brother) Here are a few…

  

  Rylee’s awake again so let me run pat her butt for 20 minutes….

• Who Do You Miss?

  I know all of us have people in our lives that we love dearly who are far away from us geographically. That sucks sometimes…

  I just wanted to let them know how much I love them and miss them -

  • Stephanie – my oldest and very dear friend. Who would have thought that 700 miles and 20 years later we would still be as close as we are? You make me so happy and I am grateful for your friendship. I am so glad that you are my babies’ “faffy” and my best friend…
  • Mindy – you have become like a sister to me and I am confident that God put us together so many years ago because He knew what you would have to go through. I am amazed by what He has done in you and in me as I have watched you deal with horrific circumstances. I love you more than you know…
  • Sarabess – I knew when we met at that youth camp year ago that there was purpose in it. You have become my sounding board and my confidant – what would I do without you? We have got to do something about only seeing each other every 5 years, though…
  • Kirstie – we are separated by so much more than miles. I will never understand why God took you from us so early in your life, but I know He is sovereign and I trust Him still. You are so dear to me – you were an amazing mom, wife, friend and daughter of the King and you are missed so much.
  • Pops and Mama Reba – I have learned so much from you. I learned from you that there is a proximity to the anointing and I am so grateful for having the opportunity to be close to you both. What I have gained from you is invaluable to me and I pray that God gives me the chance to continue to learn from you as I watch you follow after Him.

  There are more – so many more – but this is enough for today.

  Who do you miss?

  • I just realized that my friends, Mute Math, have a song on the Twilight album! You can hear it on their myspace page. I think that’s so amazing – they are some of my favorite musicians on the planet.
  • Yesterday’s service was great. I love worshiping with my team – especially when all the gadgets work like they’re supposed to.
  • I can’t believe Thanksgiving is already here! This is my favorite holiday and I’m really looking forward to stuffing myself and then going to see a movie with the fam. We’re going to see Bolt this year – Reagan’s gonna love it!
  • I wish I could pay someone to come drag all of the holiday decor out of the attic and put it all up for me. I love to have it up but I don’t love going through all of that mess.
  • I am not addicted to sweet tea. I could stop anytime I wanted to.
  • I went into Starbucks yesterday and the lady in line behind me forgot she had a ridiculously huge purse strapped to the front of her and she kept bumping into me in line. I had to work very hard to not give her the look – I did good and you would all be very proud of me. I was happy to have my salted caramel hot chocolate. (Don’t be jealous, Mandy - I know how much you love them!)
  • I’m thankful for my family – they’re amazing.

  What are you thankful for this week?

  Reagan LOVES his Poppy. He loves to crawl up in his lap and play office with all of the stuff on Poppy’s desk!

  

  We had so much fun doing the corn maze at the pumpkin farm. It took us about an hour to find our way out – Don is not much of a navigator..:)

  

  Reagan had a great time with his cousins Rachel and Lauren. They kept him entertained all day yesterday!

  

  I’m sorry, but this is just scary. Don’t they have a weight limit on these things?

  

  The best train conductor ever.

  

  He kept running into the middle of the corn husks and jumping out at us. He said he was a “Scary Monster…RAAWRRRR!”

  

  Still a scary monster – but he sure is a cute one, isn’t he?
