A sneak peek...

 Had our pics taken by Auntie Jess this last week...

 These aren't my favorites, but runner's up, for sure...

 My favorite ones you will see in this year's Christmas card...

 Including the one pic we got of all the kiddos together, looking fairly decent... ;)

 We are thankful to have such an amazing photographer in our family... Thank you, Auntie Jess!

home away from home

We have been living with my parents for the past two weeks while our kitchen is being remodeled.  We will stay one more week and then come home to the basement while they put finishing touches on.  The kids have been fabulous!  They have adjusted well.  They are sleeping well.  They love having Grammy and Grandpa around.  I love the help.  We are so thankful to have family so close that will take in our large, loud, crazy family!  Looking forward to seeing the finished product and then using our kitchen to bless others.  Pictures to come...
