6 Weeks in 1 Post!

Wow! Where has the time gone! Halloween has passed, Thanksgiving has passed and Christmas is next week! I can't believe a year has come and gone and it only seems like January 1, 2008 was just yesterday! I will attempt to cover the past 6 weeks in 1 blog, but I can't guarantee that I will remember everything! I sometimes wish time would just stand still, for just a day...then maybe I could get everything done and enjoy the people around me instead of rushing from one place to the next. That's human nature I know...to fill every minute of life with places, things and events that really don't matter in the grand scheme of things. God sometimes has to remind me to stop and rest and enjoy each moment. He does this in many ways whether a gentle whisper or nudge from Him or friends put in my path to remind me (one of my favorites is by one of my dearest friends...she is always reminding me to breathe...how simple is that?). I hope that in the days ahead that we'll all take a moment to think upon this time of year and what it is really all about...celebrating the birth of Christ! What an amazing God we serve!

So...on to pics. I know that's what you read this blog for!

Some Pics from Halloween..

The Zookeeper (the cutest nephew!)



David and William



I took a few pictures of Foster and Benton before Thanksgiving for Mom's Christmas card. This went rather well considering there was a 22 month old running around a 3 month old that has gotten used to Aunt Jill having the camera in his face!

I think Foster will be a great big brother, he LOVES Benton!



I love these little guys!

Sweet pic!



For Thanksgiving this year, David and I went to Brookhaven to see my family. We knew Christmas we would have to stay in Jackson (someone has to feed the animals and give them medicine on the holiday!) so we spent a few days in Brookhaven. Well, actually David spent Wednesday night in Brookhaven and then left for the duck camp Thursday night and I spent the rest of the week in Brookhaven with my parents and sisters...and sweet little Benton. We had a great time together Thanksgiving and then spent a little time shopping around Brookhaven on black Friday!

My Aunt Helen and cousin Alex with Benton (their first meeting!)



I think that about sums it up. Hopefully, I will be able to update a little more frequently since I'll be off work for a whole 2 weeks! I don't think I've been off that long since college! I knew there was a reason why I saved up my vacation days all year!
