sick day

Chan Man has been sick & momma found something for him to do that thrilled his soul!

Spontaneity

I think every mother of small children would say they have lost their drive to be spontaneous, if it was ever part of who they were. Hillary & I would agree! BUT, last week we decided to run with a crazy plan. We loaded the boys up in the afternoon despite the fact that they had not had naps and drive to the zoo and take advantage of a warm December day and our season passes! We giggled the whole way about our excitement over being willing to do something so out of character for both of us. Hillary had been gone for 6 weeks visiting family, friends & enjoying Jake's R & R, so we had lots to catch up on & it was so much fun! She is one of my closest friends & I am so very grateful for her and the blessing she has been in my life!

Recent fun around our home.

Channing saw me at the table the this week making a list. He wanted to sit and write as well. He sat in that spot for 45 minutes drawing!

His first masterpiece....

We went out to a Christmas parade the other night with friends. He was enthralled with the lights and sounds.

An Encounter....

We won't be telling Channing that Santa is real, but he took notice of the fella at the mall the other day. So cute!

Time of Thanks

EPHESIANS 5:20

Always giving thanks to God the Father for Everything... 

We've had a wonderful November celebrating and remembering all that we are thankful for. I want to create something that will be a constant reminder of daily thanksgiving. I'm going to hunt that down. I'm sure PINTEREST would have something!

We had a great time celebrating with our family in Charlotte & in East Bend. Here's some pics. Lots of cousins, family time & growing families at that! Sweet niece number 3, Caroline, will be here soon! Can't wait to meet her & love her like I do Ella & Allie. And our sweet Berry #2 is growing, growing, growing!

 I love these boys! I'm so grateful for John Berry. There isn't enough time for me to list all the blessings that he brings to my life! He's an incredible husband & daddy!

My sister Coley Berry! LOVE HER!

 

Nissi & her grandbabies.

 Our growing bellies! Sweet cousins will be 3months apart.
