Happy Birthday Carter!

Happy Birthday Carter! I can not believe that you turned 2 years old yesterday! I have been thinking about you ALOT  for about a week now and missing you greatly.  Alot has happened in the past two years since you left us. First and foremost you had a baby brother, Cole in September of this year. He has been wearing some of your clothes that you left in your closet. Everytime he puts on something that was yours , I think about what you might have looked like in it. I talk to him alot about you and tell him that he has an older brother in Heaven with Jesus and he will always have an angel watching over him , because you will always be mommys little angel.
Your big brother, Bailey is 9 years old and in the 4th grade now. He plays baseball and is on the go all of the time.
I can't imagine what is like to spend Jesus' Birthday in Heaven and then your birthday a few days later. I am so thankful that you are in a place where we all desire to be and since you left us 2 years ago and I am most thankful for the never ending grace that God has rained down on us since you left us to be with Him and knowing that when you first opened your eyes you saw Jesus!
I love you Carter!

Oliver The Elf

Oliver the elf has become a part of our family the past month. Bailey has really enjoyed looking for him every morning. He has been all over our house and we have throughly enjoyed him! Bailey wrote him a few letters and Oliver even wrote back!

This was Oliver's first apperance at our house!

Mike asked Bailey to clean his room one day and Bailey decided to shove everything under his bed and that was his idea of "cleaning"! LOL Well the Oliver sees EVERYTHING so Oliver decided to pull everything out from under the bed and teach Bailey a lesson! :)

One night Oliver decided to play in the kitchen and get into the flour! :)

We are looking forward to Oliver returning from the North Pole next year! We will miss him !  :) 

Happy Holidays!

Thanksgiving 2009

This Thanksgiving we were so blessed to spend it at Lake Wateree at Aunt Lynn and Uncle Billy's house. We were so excited to see all of our cousins and extended family. We were also super excited about meeting one of the newest members of the family. Lily Mahoney.  Lily and Cole are 5 days apart in age.  It was such a great day spent eating a ALOT of food and catching up with everyone.  We have so much to be thankful for. Unfortunetly my brother and his family were not able to come on Thanksgiving day so on Sunday they were able to come down from Greenville and spend the day with us at our house. It was another great day of family, food and fellowship. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family!
