Update!

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated the blog. Life is moving ninety-miles an hour (as I'm sure that it does with you as well). So here is a whirlwind of the past 6 weeks of our lives.

Mary, Mother of God...pray for us!
We have a table in our living room with several statues of close prayer partners for our family. Namely, St. Bernadette, Our Lady of Guadaloupe, Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Joseph, and St. Gianna Molla. Abram likes to go and take the statues off the table. He is so sweet and loving to all, even the statues. He will pick them up and give them a kiss....and sometimes chunk them across the room afterwards! St. Joseph has already had to have surgery by Daddy to attach his head back on. All the more reason to ask them to pray for our little family!




Our Little Climber!
Abram is still hesitant with walking on his own, but he has NO fear when it comes to climbing!!! He is truly his Daddy's son! Here he is climbing on a stack of CDs in order to reach the computer keyboard!



A Cat in the Hat Christmas!


The weekend before Thanksgiving we went with Nana and Papa to the LPB fundraiser "A Cat in the Hat Christmas" in Zachary.





We met Nanny Rae, Mason, Ava, and Abby there.

We got to try and take pictures with Santa.

We also play with various animals at the minature petting zoo and rode on a hayride around the Christmas Tree Farm.





Thanksgiving!



After I got off of work on Thanksgiving morning, we drove to Eunice to have lunch with the Fruge family. It was nice to see MaMa and PaPa Fruge, Aunt Myra, Adrienne, Megan, Lyle, and Uncle Randy.



Decorating For Christmas...It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
We were able to put up a few of our christmas decorations this year. Luckily, most of my ornaments were already shatterproof. I put any and all breakable ornaments higher on the tree...out of the reach of a an unnamed precious little boy's reach! Ahem.

Abram loves to play with the "balls" on the tree. He has a few on the lower branches that only sit in the branches and aren't attached by hooks. He crawls over, takes them off, and throws them across the room. And then proceeds to laugh like crazy!


Abram also loves to touch the lights! He likes the way they light up his finger. Oh, and he LOVED getting tangled in the lights before we decorated the mantle.

Abram also LOVES the animated Santa Claus he got from Huck and Gamma last year that sings "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!" Casey and I are a little tired of the song, but the smile it brings on Abram's face is so precious and perfect!



That's just a snapshot of the past several weeks. I pray that this season brings you peace, hope, joy, and a deeper love for Christ, Our Redeemer! Merry Christmas!!!
