Well, it has been a looooooong time since you were given the chance to see into FullerTown. The town manager has been quite . . . . . . busy.


Last Monday was Anna Brooke's birthday. She had a wonderful day! She received many gifts that she is enjoying.


Then we went into 'Get-Ready-for-the-Christmas-Family-Open-House Mode.'


On Tuesday we stopped by Sam's Club after Preschool before going straight to get Luke. When we arrived home, the Christmas tree was ON THE FLOOR!!!! Yes, the live 9-foot tall, 100 pound Christmas tree was taking a nap!! I was speechless! I could not declare it a "Glory to God" moment!

On Saturday, we went to the Greensboro Christmas Parade. I was the last one out the door as usual. I grabbed my black flats instead of going upstairs to get socks so I could wear warmer shoes. By the time the parade was over, and we saw Santa Claus, my feet were ICY. I could barely walk back to the Suburban they hurt so bad. Note to self: Next year wear socks!

On Saturday evening, we went to Tanglewood Park to see the Christmas lights. The children LOVED IT!!

(I know I'm using a lot of CAPS in this post, but some things need to be emphasized!)

Sunday evening was our annual Church Family Christmas Gathering. We do this every year and love every minute. Our gracious Deacons' Wives prepare the refreshments and serve while I greet the guests. They are all WONDERFUL!!! We had a very nice time. I cannot post pictures until I get a better camera. Every picture I take is yellow-er than the one before. I am very sorry to all of you Internet friends who would like to see my house filled with 75 people but you will just have to use your imagination.

Merry Christmas!

P. S. I would like this camera for Christmas. I know it is expensive but just imagine the photographic greatness I could achieve. And yes, I already know how to use all the buttons!

P. P. S. I am in the process of writing a book.

That is so cool! I want the exact same camera, but that is not happening right now..College tuition is more important!

It was so good to talk to you tonight! I think about you guys alot; however, when I think about calling I am usually tied up with something or at work. I want to plan a trip up to see you guys on my Christmas break if that is okay with you.

We miss you guys! Love You!

On Valentine's Day 2007 Patrick and I decided that we would not get each other a gift. This was the first time we had made such a deal. I did pick up a card for him and filled it out. Valentine's Day was on a Wednesday and we really didn't see each other much until after church that night. He came home exhausted. We had our little family of five all together in the Family Room and I handed him his card. I had signed it the way I usually do with an extra note on the very bottom: P. S. Baby Boy due to arrive in September. (Now, I didn't know for sure he was a boy, but I had a feeling) Patrick FELL INTO THE FLOOR!! Fast forward 7 months. I was very busy getting ready to open WEE Love Academy, the weekday preschool ministry at church. I was thinking that I would get the Preschool started a few weeks then the baby would come. Well, Preschool started on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. It was a great day and I came home energetic! I thought nothing of it just busied m...

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never ...
