My, oh my, where does the time go? It's been awhile since I last posted, so I guess I better update on what's been going on with us. Christmas was nice, we drove up to Kevin's parents place in Chicago to celebrate with his family. It was a long drive and the kids did very well and it was nice to see everyone again. Then, on New Year's Eve, Kevin drove down to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to help run sound for the Jeff Cook concert. It was the first time in our marriage that we didn't celebrate New Year's together, but we got through it and Kevin enjoyed the experience. Then, last month, the kids and I flew out to California to be in my best friend's wedding. It had been two years since we left Cali, so it was great to see my family again. The kids were so good on the plane ride out and the plane ride back, I couldn't be prouder of them. The day after we got back, Kevin met with the HR Director of Timkin to discuss job openings. Kevin said it was a good meeting, but there were no openings. There is a gentleman at our church that has his own physical therapy business that is very interested in hiring Kevin, so we are hoping that next week they can get together and discuss things. It would be so nice to finally have some income coming in. We are going on six-and-a-half months now of no income, but the Lord has provided for us and we are so grateful! So that has been what's been going on with us, oh I forgot, last week we signed Curtis up for tee ball. The season starts the beginning of April and he is so excited. We can't wait to watch him play. So here are some pictures from the last two months to get us all up to speed.
DECEMBER
Our Christmas tree (the kids were so happy to have a real tree)! 
The little tree that the kids decorated. I think they did a great job!
The kids helped me make Christmas cookies to give to our neighbors, teachers, and crossing guards.
This is the inside of a McDonalds that we stopped at in Asheville near the Biltmore Estate. There was also a player piano in the corner playing Christmas music.
Downtown Nashville. We can't wait to go back and actually sightsee. 
This is the Wingate mansion in Paducah, Kentucky. It's a rest area and the bathrooms are inside.
The kids table. The cousins had so much fun together.
The cousins: Lily, Luke, Sophie, Levi, Logan, Jeremiah, Curtis, Lauren, and Claire
Our beautiful family
Kevin's family: Todd, Kevin, Barry, Dean, Allan, June, and Shari
This is a picture from the Jeff Cook concert. You can see a little bit of Kevin (in the ballcap) next to the keyboard player.
JANUARY
My best friend Myra. I was so honored to be her Matron of Honor.
Curtis was the ring bearer, and the girls were flower girls. Claire was grouchy and didn't want her picture taken.
The cousins: Claire (she didn't want to be in this picture either), Lauren, Curtis, James, Nathan, Natty, Olivia, Daphne, and Lia
Four generations: My grandmother Helen, my mom Norma, me, and the kids
My cousins: Mollie, Tim, me, Matt, and Jon
My friend Cheryl, whom I've known since junior high.
The kids and I with my sister-in-law Michelle. My brother is currently on deployment in Africa, so we didn't get to see him.
The harbor at Port Hueneme where my brother is stationed. I sure do miss the California beaches.
