Well today is December 2nd and we are three weeks away from Christmas and Emily's birthday. I have Connor and Ryan done. Other than that I have not even started to buy any christmas gifts yet. I will do what I do every year and power shop at the last minute. Christmas cards aren't even done yet. Right now I am just trying to get completely settled into our new dwelling. We have hung the girls shelves, so their rooms are done, I did however hang a few pictures in the dining room and living room. We are so very thankful for all that God has provided us this time of year in such hard times. We have a roof over our heads, we have food in our bellies. We are going to try to put the rest of the pictures up this week and try to get the tree up this weekend. We will enjoy this time that we have together.

Oh, Ava started to crawl last night. her dad thought he would put her on the table and coax her with a bowl full of food and wouldn't you know it, it worked. We then put her on the floor and away she went, in the army crawl-pulling herself with just her arms. She would grab the carpet and pull. She is so funny, she also flipped over and pushed herself with her feet. She is very determined to get to where she wants to go. Christmas ought to be fun with her being mobile.
