Christmas Ornaments #2 & #3

The next two ornaments are self explanatory.
You can't read it very well because apparently pewter, Christmas lights and automatic flash don't work well together.

It says:

Our First Christmas
Patrick & Laura Fuller
12-25-2000

This will be our tenth Christmas together!! Every one has been special, wonderful, and memories have been made every single year.

The next is an ornament from the gift shop of the resort where we spent our Honeymoon.


This really began a tradition that we could not have imagined at that time. Whenever we travel somewhere we have never been, we try to purchase an ornament to help us remember that city or place. We are getting close to A BUNCH of ornaments from places we have visited.

Let's see if I can list the memory from every year.

2000-Our first Christmas together.

2001-We spent Christmas in Florida with my family. We were getting ready to move to our first place of ministry together.

2002-I was expecting Luke and we made it as special as we could knowing that this would be our last Christmas with just the two of us.

2003-Luke's first Christmas. We spent Christmas in Florida with my family.

2004-Anna Brooke's first Christmas. We stayed home all day and she slept ALL DAY!

2005-We spent Christmas in Florida for the last time and announced Sarah's Belle's presence among us. I thought we were going to have to call the paramedics to revive my Mother and Sister at The Olive Garden!

2006-Sarah Belle's first Christmas. Our first Christmas in Greensboro.

2007-Paul's first Christmas. This is the year of the now famous Christmas card with the little Fullers dressed and posing as if they were Joseph, Mary, an angel and Baby Jesus.

2008-All the little Fullers received either a bicycle or tricycle from Santa.

2009-Memories in the making!!

What is your favorite Christmas memory?

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 ...
