Chillin’ at grandma and grandpa’s.

Some of you know my good friends Tamar and Tiffany and their family.  Growing up, the Teschke’s were like a second family to me.  Tamar and Tiffany, who lived two houses down, were my best friends since before I was Olivia’s age.  Their youngest sister, Libby, has a 9 month old little girl named Paxten.  On Saturday, they found out that Paxten has leukemia.  She has the B Cell form of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL) the most common form of leukemia in children under the age of 20.  I ask for your prayers for this precious family and the battle ahead.  They do have a caringbridge page set up at:

Ryan’s employer hosted a Santa Party today and we were able to go and meet Santa!  Olivia really warmed up to him and even told him what she wanted for Christmas. . .music and books.  She also picked out a teddy bear that was made in the North Pole!  We  had a great time!

And here are just some pictures from a fun night hanging out at home.

Olivia with her two Gogums and her Lily. . .I think she’ll be taking these three to college!  That’s how much she adores them.

Aye Aye Captain!

I just have nothing much to talk about lately.  There isn’t a lot going on, I guess.  So, pictures will have to suffice for now. 

I did want to wish my sister-in-law Laura a very Happy Birthday today!! What an adventure the next year holds!  Also my sister-in-law Kim and her family spent their first full day in their new house in Arkansas and we’ve been continually praying for them!  Quite the adventure for them as well!
