We had a great Christmas!! Drew spent a few days before Christmas with my parents. After having Christmas there, we loaded up and drove to Texas. Drew actually did really well riding in the car for so long. We split the trip up by staying in Beaumont with Carl's brother, and then on to Austin on Saturday morning. We stayed there until Christmas day, drove back to Beaumont, and then back home on Wednesday morning! Whew!!! Anyway, thanks Stephen for being the "halfway house!!" Here are a few pictures. Drew had lots of fun opening presents and playing!! Hope everyone has a great 2008!!! It's going to be very interesting at our house!!

SURPRISE, SURPRISE!!!!

Just when you think you've got it all planned out.... as you may have noticed, we added a new ticker at the top... that's right..... TWINS!! Carl and I found out this week that we are having twins, and let's just say, it was the shock of a lifetime. Neither of us have twins in our family, so it was the last thing we expected to hear (or see, for that matter!) I will try to get the sonogram pictures posted later. Anyway, we have had a huge mix of emotions this week finding out all of this. There are just so many thoughts and questions that come and go through your mind, some are intellegent, others.. not so much. We keep hearing from our friends, "God won't give you more than you can handle." And while we know that is true... there is also that saying that says "what won't kill you, makes you wish it would have!!" HA HA!! Just kidding!! We are very excited and looking forward to this new adventure!!!

We went to the Madison Christmas parade last Saturday. Drew had a great time! He loved the motorcycles and the horses the best! He was so funny when the bands came by. One band had just finished playing a song, and just the drums were playing... Drew kept saying "more music, more music!"

Drew and Olivia waiting patiently for the parade!

Here come the motorcycles!!
