The Best Gift of 2013

By far, the best gift we received this year was:

Our sweet Kaleigh! 

Here are some pics from her first Christmas:

This season always reminds us of how thankful we are that "the Word became flesh and dwelled among us" John 1:14. We are so thankful that Jesus came to earth as a man to take on our sin so that we could have a right relationship with God.

We are also so thankful for the gift of Kaleigh. She is so precious to us. It was so fun to celebrate Christmas with. She really got into tearing the paper by the end of it. She thought it was really funny. Our families spoiled her and gave her lots of fun gifts. Our house looks like a toy store exploded in it!! We hope that you and your family had a very Merry Christmas and will have a great 2014!

Kaleigh Month 11

In less than a month we will have a one year old. That is just crazy!! We are blessed beyond belief to be her parents. She is such a joy to us. We had a busy month and got to see lots of people!! Here's the recap:

At the beginning of this month we had Kaleigh dedicated at our church. We committed to raise her with a knowledge of God and train her in the ways of the Lord. Our prayer is that she will love Him and know Him and walk with Him all the days of her life. 

Crawling EVERYWHERE!! She is on the move! She is really close to walking but isn't quite brave enough to let go!

She learned to climb up the stairs...that's now a "no touch!"

Lindsey came to visit!! We had so much fun and it was her first time meeting Kaleigh!

We did some traveling over Thanksgiving. One of our stops was Evansville and we got to see the Cazee's. Here we are with Lily-what a cutie!

We also got to see Hillary!! Kaleigh got to meet all kinds of new people this month!

Happy Thanksgiving!
