Christmas joys...

Here are my beauties! Leslie MADE these dress up outfits and accessories (earrings, hair clip, and necklace). . . isn't she amazing - they are even cooler in real life! Rae didn't know what to think at first! :) The other pictures are on our Christmas while watching a Christmas movie. Oh, the simple joys of life!!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!! Love you all! Kristy

OK...the pictures will come another day...for some reason it won't let me download any pictures?!? Gotta love these computer's! =)

Meet Crazy Maisie!

Hey gals-
Thought I would give you an update on our cat situation. I did end up going to Ohio last Monday and picked up another Selkirk Rex. She is so cute and hilarious. We just love her! However, our POOR Christmas tree does not have the same feelings towards her. She can climb to the 3rd layer of the tree, chews on the lights, tears the ribbon off, and can jump atleast a couple of feet to knock the bulbs off. Needless to say, our tree looks hideous. I actually thought about taking it down, but thought that would not be spreading Chirstmas cheer! Maisie has brought me so much joy, she is the perfect Christmas present. Leah said she looks like an owl. Its kind of true, but I told her she better not say stuff like that when we have kids(o: Pictures our compliments of our friend Jenna Stoller who has a good camera and came over to do a photo shoot of Maisie. (We left our camera in Illinois at Thanksgiving!) Looking forward to seeing all of you this weekend. Love ya Sarah

Cute Pic's!

Rebekah, those pictures are too cute. Looks like they wore their daddy out. :) Can you guys believe in just 1 week we'll all be together for Christmas?!? It's so exciting, but hard to believe! Not too much excitment around here lately...just the same old routine. Hope everyone's doing well & healthy! Well, I thought I'd post a picture from our "Christmas picture takings'. Josiah found something pretty funny... I don't remember what it was. Kelsey looks like she has chicken pox in our picture. They're actually scabs...from mosquito bites she scratched over & over. Well, see you all on Saturday!!! Love you, Kristy

Fun in the Snow!!!

Hi Girls! I haven't posted in awhile. I thought you might enjoy some new pictures. On Friday I.S.U. cancelled classes for the day because of the snow. So, Matt and I took the kids outside and we pulled them around in a sled. They LOVED it! It was so fun! Afterwards, Josh's cheeks were so red I was afraid maybe he had gotten frostbitten. Darci and Matt enjoyed cuddling on the couch together.

Things have been pretty good here. Matt is finishing up classes...which is stressing him about a bit. He's got a very tough class that's been a headache this semester.

The kids both threwup this week and we don't know if each time they were choking on something or if it was a mild case of the flu. Who knows...I'm just glad it's over. WEll, It was so fun to be with you guys over Thanksgiving. WE are looking forward to Christmas!
Love, Rebekah


 

Davis...

Hi all-
At Thanksgiving, I am sure most of you heard me boasting about our new 10month cat, Davis. Anyway, this past Wednesday, we took him to the vet b/c we noticed he was breathing hard. We thought he had a cold or something. The vet ran tests and told me he'd call me back later with an update. Well, after a loooonnnngggg afternoon, Dr. Honegger called me back and said he wasn't doing well and would have to keep Davis for 1 or 2 nights to get tests back from the lab. 6pm Wednesday Doc called back again to tell us he had really gotten bad and suggests we put him "down". We really didn't have a choice b/c we knew it wouldn't be a smart finiancial move to keep him alive- and -it wasn't fair to Davis. We were really sad! Doc told us later that Davis had a heart condition. Totally a freak thing! He said Davis would have died any time at our house. We are so thankful he was at the vet. I had a REALLY rough Wed. and Thurs., but I am doing better. We really fell in love with the Selkirk Rex Breed, so I am driving to Ohio tomorrow to look for a new Selkirk cat or kitten. We'll see! Sorry to bore you all, but I know the animal lovers can relate! Hope you all have a great week! Loveya, Sarah
