-this week-

 

We had a pretty busy week.  It wasn’t bad, but I was just out of the house a lot during the days.

Ella had her 9 month check up on Wednesday.  She is doing great!  Nothing really to report.  She is 20lbs, 6 oz. (just above 75%).  She is definitely my LIGHTEST baby!  :)   (Alec was 20 lbs at 4 months!)  She has only gained 1 lb. since her 6 month appointment!  Amazing!  I realized the other day that my back doesn’t ache the way it did with the boys!  Ha!  She is, however, VERY long!  29.5 in to be exact (95%).  So she is tall and thin – every girl’s dream (hope it lasts for her!)  Her head circumference was good as well – 17.75in (75%).  We always keep an eye on those numbers!

She got two shots (flu – 2nd shot & Hep B).  So it wasn’t too bad and she didn’t run a fever or anything.  But she did take good naps that day!  :)

On Wednesday night we had “S’mores night!”  We decided to get a little more creative with Home Group snacks!  We are going through the “Proclaim” evangelism training videos, so we had the couches pulled in and a fire going (it was quite chilly that night) and hot chocolate and s’mores!  What a fun night!  The group seemed to love it and it is always fun to mix things up a bit!

I must also share that I am at the end of my huge laundry pile!  I have one load left to do!  I thought I would never get caught up!  Seems like a little thing – but for me is a HUGE accomplishment!  I am pretty excited about that!  :-)

We are enjoying a night IN tonight, so I will sign off for now!

More December photos…

The second weekend of December was VERY busy for us.  Friday night, 12.12 was the BASH.  I was in the Bash, so I couldn’t take my own photos, but here is a link if you want to see what went down!

Then on Saturday, we had Dress Rehearsal for the Children’s Musical, which I directed.  The production was on Sunday morning, 12.14.  The kids did an amazing job!  The church seemed to LOVE it!  Again, I couldn’t take my own photos, so check out this link.

On that Sunday night, we had our Home Group Christmas party.  We had a very low-key evening at Light Up UCF.  They had outdoor ice skating, a light show, etc.  We all just brought dinner and we ate together outside.  It was a beautiful night.  Everyone was tired from such a busy week, but it was fun to just hang out together.  Here are some photos from that night!

That’s all for this update!
