Radical

Channing and I will be joining a bible study on Monday nights with our friend Paul and Beverly Brooks.  The book is Radical by David Platt.  We have been told that it will change our life.  I will share with you weekly about the study.  Here is a link if you want to learn more about Radical.

Talking up a storm

Brooklyn is a very active 16 month old and when I think about Kennedy at this age they are not the same.  Brooklyn gets into everything and I mean everything.  Here are a list of what she is doing now:
-She is talking all the time and says everything you say.  She loves saying Where's daddy?  and Pee pee
-I bought her a little potty and she loves it.  She loves the water in the toilet so when Kennedy is going potty I place her on her potty and the entire time she says pee pee, pee pee....
-She loves to eat.  The only thing she will not eat is mashed potatoes.  She loves veggies and especially her new snack (fruit snack)
-What I cherish is that I was reading my baby book and the first sentence I said was "see the light".  Well Brooklyn loves to say light.  She loves looking up and saying light.  I thought this was so neat.
-She loves music she dances all the time.  And she now loves to hear Dora when she comes on.  She is not very interested in television but she will start dancing and say D-D-Dora.
-She loves to read her books especially anything with a doggie.
-She hears me counting to her sister 1-2-3 she now can say them. 
-She is now in 24month/2T clothing, size 6 shoe, and size 5 diaper.  She is in the 90% of height and 50% in weight.  She is so much taller and weighs more than Kennedy did at this age. 
-She also loves her paci and I am trying to think about when and how to take it.  If anyone reading can help me please give me suggestions.
-She is a mommy's girl and I love it!

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Psalm 127:3 

Christmas Eve at the Jones house

Christmas at the Jones house was so much fun this year.  Kennedy asked everyday when Santa was coming and she is still asking when is he coming back. 

Channing read the Christmas story to the girls before Christmas Eve dinner at Mema Margret's(Channings 87 yr old grandma).  The tradition is to eat a steak meal and it was wonderful.  Channing even made his shrimp dip and it was so good I will share his recipe.  And we also opened gifts from Channing's family.

All smiles

Family Love-December 2010

For the Month of December I wanted to tell you a gift that the Lord gave me each day.  Well, I have been so busy that I have not been blogging so I thought that you might like to see what the Lord has blessed me with (a beautiful family) and ready to see what 2011 will bring. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!

Christmas Gift-Day 17 (12/17/2010)

Each day the Lord gives us s gift but sometimes in this fast pace world we do not even realize the blessings he is sharing with us.




So, in the month of December I will post a gift that the Lord has given me. I hope that my post in December will be a blessing to me, my family and friends.




Day 17: The gift that the Lord gave me today is the love of my husband.  He surprised me with a date night.  So tonight we are going to a Christmas social, and tomorrow shopping.  I am so thankful for a Christian husband that loves the Lord and his family.
