Gingerbread House Fun!

This is a tradition we started when Rose was two and the girls love to create and then nibble on their houses.











Violet didn't participate in making Gingerbread houses but we dressed her like a little Gingerbread baby and she is sweet enough to just gobble right up!

NO News is GOOD News!

Five years ago this month we moved away from Nashville, TN. Rose was just 2 months old.
We left behind many great friends not to mention yummy restaurants and beautiful scenery. As we drove away I cried for the many friends I would miss.

Three years ago this month we moved away from Hollywood, FL. Pearl was just 2 months old, Rose was 2 years old. We left behind great friends, yummy Cuban food, sunshine and sand. As we flew over "our beach" I cried knowing I would miss living so close to the beach.

I told Mike that if we ever had another baby I just wanted to have lots of time to hold and rock my baby and not have to pack and unpack.

He kept his promise for the first four months of Violet's life. I had the luxury of holding my baby and not having to worry about packing.

Until now...
Once again we find ourselves with a new baby and moving during her first Christmas. The good news is that we are moving back to Nashville where we have lots of wonderful friends, the winter is a little milder and going out to eat includes at least a half a dozen different Mexican restaurant options. Mike has a wonderful job opportunity partnering with a Christian organization called Blood:Water Mission, working to relieve the HIV/Aids and water crisis in Africa.

We would appreciate your prayers for us during this transition time. This week my mom and I are packing like crazy, while caring for my crazy girls. Mike will be flying home tomorrow to help finish up the packing. He will drive the girls and I to TN this weekend. Please pray that our house sells quickly.
