These are more pictures from our snow day in Blue Mountain.

Our Last Snow Day

Saturday morning, we woke up to find the ground covered in snow...Aaron remembered the little bit we had last month and got very excited. We could not get him dressed fast enough! We had a little over 3 inches. Just enough to play but it was wonderful that it was gone the next day. Aaron had so much fun playing but decided that his mittens were just getting in the way, so...he took them off. He would not let me put them back on and I just let him play without them. You can tell by his expression in the pictures that he was cold. We kept trying to to him in to warm up, but he was not having that.

On another note, my grandmother passed away on Sunday night at about 10:00. It was such a sweet time. She went very peacefully. Family was surrounding her. Thank you so much for all of your prayers for us. We really felt the presence of the Lord during the whole week at the hospital and as we are approaching the visitation tonight and funeral tomorrow, we are all in such good spirits knowing that she is with the Father. Her body will be buried on top of Lookout Mountain where she and my granddaddy lived for some time. Please pray for traveling safety as we have friends and family coming from all over the country.

My Bertha Lou

For those of you who have not heard me speak of my grandmother (Grahmuh a.k.a Bertha, Inelle, Inella Bella....) She lives in Tupelo, MS in a retirement community. In the last few years, she and my granddaddy have had to adjust to living separately due to her onset of alzheimers. It has been a long road....they've been married over 60 years. Her mental function is not what it has always been, but she still recognizes family and close friends, etc.

Last weekend, she fell going into the hallway of her building. She has a nasty bruise on her forehead and other complications have developed. Long story short, she's not doing well at all and is in the hospital there in Tupelo. The doctors are very cautious in deciding what to do for her. They told my mom and her brothers to call the family to come. We're just waiting now... for what, I'm sad thinking about. It's hard to say goodbye to one of my best friends. The tests from this morning show that she has had a heart attack since being in the hospital. Things don't look good, but I know that God is in control of the situation. I feel such a peace, however, about the whole thing. Grahmuh is a believer and will soon be in the arms of our Lord. I wish I could see her face when she gets there! Please keep my family in your prayers as we go through this difficult time. (Especially my mom and granddaddy) Thank you in advance. Love, Holly

I'M SORRY FOR ANY TYPOS IN MY POSTS...USUALLY, I'M TYPING WITH A BABY IN ONE ARM

Was it Time for a Haircut?

After seeing Aaron with his hair "fluffed up" in the last post, I thought to myself, "Is it time for a haircut?" I didn't worry about it too much because I really like his curls. (When they are fixed correctly and not just out of bed.) A few days have passed and last night, I jokingly asked Daniel if Aaron needed a haircut. I expected a jokingly answer. No laughing, joking, etc. His answer.... YES! I knew I had let it go for too long. He was embarrased that his some had "girly" hair. Well...I got out my scissors and comb and went to work. Hair was flying everywhere and what looked like a small lap dog was on the floor under his chair when all was done. Giving Aaron haircuts has never been an easy task. He, like most little boys, likes to fidgit, shift positions, and turn his head to talk to momma every couple of seconds. It used to take me about 45 minutes to get his hair in any decent form of a haircut, but last night it only took about 20. I was proud. I'm going to have to get used to it but I like it. Daddy says that now he has a real "big boy" haircut. (The curls will grow back to those of you wondering....we've cut them 4-5 times already) You can see from the pictures, his beautiful hearing devices are very prominant with his new "do". Enjoy!

Today's PLASCECTOMY!!!!

Today, I cut up 4 credit cards!!! (a plascectomy for those of you not familiar with Dave Ramsey) Yeah!!! I'm so excited. Daniel and I also filed our taxes tonight, so I'm feeling very relieved and stress free in the financial world. The boys are in the bed but we had such a good time playing in the bathtub tonight. They are so funny interacting with each other. The photos I'm posting are from their playtime and the one of Aaron puts me in mind of the time Grandma put rods in Daniel's hair because he wanted a "perm" too. It's amazing how curly Aaron's hair is. It's a shame for a boy to have such pretty hair. Joshua's hair is as straight as a board. Hope you enjoy the pics.
