Happy Birthday Craig Ellis

I want to know why children must grow up so fast. 2007 brought many changes to Ellis' life. Some trials and some happy times. He has now moved away from home, is engaged to a sweet young lady and is pounding the pavement job hunting. This is the first year we haven't spent together for his birthday. I missed it! Ellis we love you and wish you a wonderful year. Arielle wanted to go to Botanical Gardens for her birthday but it didn't work out so we went for Ellis' birthday. Here is a picture for you.

Happy 13th Birthday Arielle

Our sweet little lady turned 13 on December 29th. I am so far behind in my posting. Arielle we love you and are so proud of the young lady that you are growing up to be. You bring peace and love to our family. Thank you for being Mommy's helper.

We love you.

The Celebration Continues.. December 26

I have the best family! Today is my birthday not yesterday like my previous post reads. Sorry Conway. The weather outside was frightful so I really didn't want to get out into it. My children all wished me Happy Birthday with hugs. Shoshannah sang her version of Happy Birthday Mommy. For dinner the entire crew headed out to Paradocks to eat. It was fun to have everyone together. Then Craig surprised me with 2 tickets to see Celtic Woman in March. YEAH! I love having my family around. I am a blessed woman to have such a best friend and husband as Craig. And I must say I have the best children.Thank you Craig Ellis, Andrew, Arielle, Danielle and Shoshannah for making my life so beautiful!
I love you all

The Celebration Continues.. Christmas Day

Well, I thought since the children were older and Shoshannah had no clue about the gifts that we would get to sleep in until at least 6:30am. But alas at 4:00am two of the children started making treks to the bathroom. Arielle couldn't sleep so she sat up to read at 4:00am. Finally at 6 I heard voices whispering. You know that whisper that reaches across the entire up stairs. So I woke Shoshannah and Craig up and the other children woke up Craig Ellis(after all he is an adult now). The children had a great time opening gifts. I think each of them was pleased. Shoshannah loves her kitchen and Craig hates the mess it makes with all those little pieces.After gifts were opened and the trash picked up, Ellis headed back to bed and the rest of the crew played or read. It was a very relaxing day.
The celebrating continues today with my birthday. Then we are birthday free until Saturday when Arielle will turn 13. On Friday night Gina will join us so the family will be complete for this year.

My Beautiful Children

Before we left for Christmas Eve Service my children dressed up, well almost all of them did. And we are missing Gina. She will be here the end of the week and we will take more photos then.
Merry Christmas to all our friends and family. We love you all
