Happy Thanksgiving!

-
We hope you are ready for another busy, but fun holiday season! I know Bekah is ready for the upcoming big feast day. She has a new outfit and everything. :)

Bekah had her first dance performance this week. Her dance class put on a little performance at a local assisted living facility. The girls were adorable in their pink tutus as they danced to the "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies." She had a fun time and did a great job. She didn't even have a hint of state fright. I appreciate that her dance studio takes the time to organize these types of events for the kids. It was a perfect teaching moment to show the kids how to share their talents and bring happiness to others through service. We had a fun night.

Something funny Rebekah said this weekend:
Completely bored after a Saturday of no school, Bekah woke up Sunday morning and lamented, "Mom, they won't let me go to school tomorrow because of the holiday."

It's very tragic that the school district has chosen to be so cruel as to not let the children go to school and has given them an entire week of vacation for Thanksgiving break. Poor Bekah.

Something funny Loyd said this week:
Looking at the chore chart, Loyd mater of factly declared, "Mom, I did a great job doing the dishes. I should be a mom."

I corrected him and told him his awesome dish washing skills are what will make him a great dad. There's nothing better than seeing a man do the dishes, right!

We Returned to a Blessing

We came home to a HUGE blessing. Our house is still here and didn't sustain much damage. We just have to rebuild a portion of our fence and clean up dead branches and we are good to groove again. We don't have power yet, but I anticipate that it will come online soon. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. I know the Lord greatly blessed us on this one. We came home and made sure we gave a prayer of thanks for His mercy on us. We hope we can get out there and start helping folks who didn't fair as well as we did soon. Here are some pictures of our home:

Not Much Happening In Our Neck of the Woods

Not much to tell from our end of Texas. We've just been keeping busy keeping busy. We have started doing a small story time on Wednesdays with a few friends. The kids love it. Rebekah likes spending time with the other kids and Loyd adores doing the finger plays. I'm sure Great Grandma Young is helping him learn all the actions. He's really quite good at them and picks up the plays rather quickly. Loyd also went in for his 18 month old well baby visit. Everything is looking good for our young man. He is tall and skinny and seems to be ahead of the curve on his developmental milestones. The pediatrician was impressed. Rebekah is turning into quite the social butterfly. She loves to play with her friends. She would have them come over every day, all day if she could. When they have to go home she turns to Loyd and spends the rest of the afternoon telling him what to do. She taught him a few games with some carpet squares and has him trained on how to play a good g...

John has been asking for months if his birthday would be tomorrow.  For months we have had to break the sad news his birthday was no tomorrow.  This month I finally had the chance to tell this cute little man that Yes!  His birthday was tomorrow!  We had so much fun celebrating the ray of sunshine known in our home as John.  The birthday fairy decorated his bedroom door with candy, friends were invited for a super fun Paw Patrol themed party, and presents were excitedly received.  We had so much fun celebrating and playing.  Every day should be John's birthday!  :)  John is growing up to be such a goon natured and kind little boy.  He writes the most heartfelt notes, gives the best hugs and snuggles, and plays the most fun games.  John has a tender testimony of Jesus and Heavenly Father.  He wants to do what is right and help others know they are loved too.  John is a fun friend, a thoughtful brother, and a loving, obedien...
