Christmas Picture...I think NOT!

Oh Christmas Tree!

Missing Marcus

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past 4 months, you know that Marcus has been working in BR, and is only home on the weekends. This change has been so hard on our family and the girls. They miss their Daddy, and our family is not whole. We pray everyday that God will reveal his true plan for our family and bring us together again. Until then, this is for you, Marcus. We love you!

"When You're Gone"

By: Avril Lavigne

I always needed time on my own

I never thought I'd need you there when I cry

And the days feel like years when I'm alone

And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now

[Chorus]

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok

I miss you

I've never felt this way before

Everything that I do reminds me of you

And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor

And they smell just like you,

I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now

[Chorus]

We were made for each other

Out here forever

I know we were, yeah

All I ever wanted was for you to know

Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul

I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

[Chorus]

Cohen

Finally, pictures! Look at this sweet 10 pound bag of sugar! He is David with hair! I love him, can't wait to snuggle him! Don't worry, Cohen, Aunt J will be there soon!

Potty Trained

Yes, past tense, as she IS! Hannah potty trained in a week! We could not be more proud of her. We just skipped the whole Pull-Up thing. She wanted to wear big-girl panties, so that is what we did. She has been accident free for 2 weeks now. What a BIG girl!

My Little Pony LIVE!

Marcus and I took the girls to see My Little Pony LIVE last Saturday. We had a great time, eventhough Marcus wished he had a flask! I told him it was all part of having girls. Hannah wasn't too sure at first, but warmed up to it and was singing along. Ava loved every minute. You almost couldn't hear what they were saying, she was squeling so loud. I am so glad we went! Marcus really wanted to go back and see the show that night, but I told him we would have to catch them next trip.

Enjoying the show!

Ava had all she could handle, time for a nap on Daddy!

Waiting for the show

We were not sure how Hannah would react, but she ended up loving it! This is my friend Ginger and her little girl, Hannah. They were there for the show, too!

Round 1

Round 1 goes to Hannah! I am sure there will be many more.

I couldn't help it!

Sisters Playing

Eventhough they were both sick when these pictures were taken, they are so cute. They are really beginning to play with each other. It is times like these that I am glad they are 2 years apart.

Happy Halloween!

Well, eventhough Hannah was scared of her halloween costume and Marcus was not here to help with all the chaos, the girls and I had an incredible time. We did not go trick or treating because Hannah did not want to dress up. And we did not go to the Fall Carnival at their daycare, because it was 7-9 and Ava is a creature of habit and goes to bed at 730. We stayed home and handed out candy to everybody. The girls loved it!!!!!!!Hannah was yelling "Trick or treat, come get some candy." Then when they left, she was waving and saying,"Bye, Happy Halloween!" It was the cutest thing ever! Ava kept crawling out of the door and nearly getting trampled by the bazillion kids that came to my house. Hannah's little friend from school, Caydee, came by. She was so excited! They hugged and Hannah wanted her to come inside and play. We had a big time, and it was so easy for her to fall asleep. I hope everyone had a fun night, and we will talk again soon.

Love,
Jennifer

Big Boy

OK...after pushing for nearly 3 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cohen Dean Gray was born at about 3:15 weighing 10lbs 6 oz, 21 in long. Kerri is very tired, but doing fine. Cohen is beautiful and perfect and BIG! I am sure we will have pictures soon.

Love to all!
Jennifer

Prayer Request

Everybody shoot up a prayer for Kerri! She is in labor at the hospital and "feeling it." It shouldn't be long until the little...big boy is here!

Love,
Jennifer

My little pumpkins!

Hannah would not look at the camara, but they were still the cutest pumpkins in the patch!

Ava had a great time at the pumpkin patch! She loved playing with the hay! Notice...the gut hanging out of her shirt in the first picture...Thanks Daddy!
