Christmas at MBTS

We attended a Christmas party tonight for all of the kids on the MBTS campus. It was a great time--the girls made crafts, got snowflake tatoos, decorated rice krispy treats, played games, etc... Eleanor even won the coloring contest for the 1-3 year-olds! She was SO excited about her prize: a teddy bear she has affectionately named "Mosie Bear" after her little brother since he has the same style toboggan. Here are some pictures of the festivities!

"Sittin' Pretty"

Our big boy is starting to sit up and play! Here are some pics of his new "skills". :)

Holiday Fun

We enjoyed a great Thanksgiving Day and had lots of fun putting up our Christmas decorations this weekend. Here are a few pics of the festivities!

"Mosie"

Our big boy just turned 6 months old on the 13th...wow! He weighs in at almost 17 1/2 lbs. now and is accomplishing new things all the time. You can see from some of the pictures that he is quite fond of his toes now! He also loves the exer-saucer and is starting to play with more of his toys. Daddy has been putting him in the backpack lately, and he seems to like that like all of our kids have (thank goodness!). Hope you enjoy the pics of our growing boy!

What We've Been Up To...

A lot has transpired since my last post: another trip to Grandmama's house to see some friends and family, fall crafting and a fall festival on campus, Moses's first solid food, packing Operation Christmas child boxes and making ornaments for our OCC tree, etc... Our days have been full, but we've been enjoying this last bit of beautiful fall weather before the cold sets in. Hope you enjoy the pictures! (Note: The picture of Moses behind the book is when he dozed off while Rusty was reading. So, it's official: I'm not the only one his reading puts to sleep--ha! :))

Our Latest Family Photos

We had the opportunity to have some family pictures taken earlier this month while visiting family in Branson. Thanks to John Wahl Photography (a student at C of O) for capturing these smiles! While there are many more photos than these, I chose a few favorites to share.

Sweet Moments...

Branson Getaway!

Here are some pictures from our recent weekend getaway at Grandmama and Grandoc's house. We had a great time--especially on the rides at Silver Dollar City!
