Annelise had a blast playing with Adam (Austin's cousin) this year. He ate lots of yummy food she fixed!

Here is Caleb with his Buzz Lightyear wings pretending to fly!! --btw, Caleb is going to be having another MRI on February 2nd. He hasn't had one in a year and a half- which we are thankful but also nervous - he has to be put to sleep- we are anticipating more questions as well- please pray that we will have the words to say to him, that he will have peace in his heart and not worry, and that everything would go smoothly- not to mention the results- we do pray that nothing has grown or changed in the last year and a half. We pursued a second opinion from a doc in Birmingham, AL. He encouraged us to have MRIs done every year. So, here we are again. Thank you so very much for so many prayers lifted up on Caleb's behalf over the years.

Jim took Annelise outside to look at the snow- she wasn't so sure about touching it- she wanted to stay in his arms. ;)

On Sunday after Christmas we went sledding in the bits of snow we had. This is my favorite picture!! I can't believe God has blessed Austin and myself with 2 beautiful children- they are such a joy!!
...And speaking of children... we've decided to start back up the adoption paperwork!! Yea!! We have not forgotten about the little girl out there that God has chosen for our family!! I have a few short-term goals to finish in the next few weeks before officially calling our adoption agency, but we are really excited to be pursuing our little girl again!!
