Decorating the tree

We got our tree early this year as well as the Christmas cards & gifts bought & wrapped since we don't know when baby will come. Spenser put the star on top of the tree this year!

I like how they are both in almost the same pose!

So proud!

Happy Halloween 2012

Spenser was Puss N Boots from Shrek & his friend Bradley was the killer from Scream.

1860's house

While we were in Alabama, we found this house for sale. I love an old southern plantation & have always wanted to see the inside of a house like this. Luckily it was open so we went exploring. It was awesome!!!

Great Grandma

Jon is blessed to have a great grandmother- his only surviving grandparent. We went to visit his family in Alabama this month.  Here is Nannaw with her great grandson Spenser!  I love the fact that my child has a great grandparent!

A pump for Jon

Today, Jon got fitted for a diabetic pump. It's been a long time coming & we feel this will be a much better way for him to manage his diabetes than taking injections. This pump gives him a continuous drip of insulin & each time he eats something, he has to enter in the number of carbohydrates he's eating into his little monitor & the insulin will adjust according to what he needs.  So far so good & he shouldn't have any more diabetic crashes which is very good!

Jon joins a church

Today, Jon became a member of the little Baptist church down the street from our house. We met with the minister & then at the end of church he introduced us & they voted to accept Jon's membership. I'm still a member of my Presbyterian church. We alternate weekends!  So glad Jon has found a good church where his personal relationship with Jesus can grow!

A little garden

We planted tomatoes & red & green peppers recently. I'm excited that they are growing!  I've always wanted a little garden but didn't want to tear up the yard to do it so we planted them in a big planter. When these are done I want to try other things & fruit too!
