Picture update

Callie playing bags at Martin Bros. John Deere. She was really good at it!
Gabe's not so sure about this Santa Claus thing. But he'll take the sucker! :)
Playing with the big machinery. I've never seen Gabriel so happy at a store. He was walking around, shrieking with joy at all the different toys. It was really, really funny!

Callie FINALLY sat on Santa Claus's lap! It took almost 4 years, but she finally talked to him and told him what she wanted for Christmas. She had a lot of fun.

I don't know if you can tell , but this one's going in! She got it on the first one.


Gabe didn't enjoy the shaving cream in the bath tub as must as Callie did. He was a little nervous about having stuff floating in the bathtub with him.

The shaving cream snowmen turned into paint the whole wall. Callie had a lot of fun.


The beginning of the snowman.

Callie enjoying watching the guys putting up with Christmas lights. It was cold!

Callie and Santa!

Christmas Decorations on our table.

Front Stairs Decorated.

Another view of the table.

All Philip's work on the house with the lights.

Santa's elves were quite busy! 5 packages, over a hundred cards! Whew! Love Christmas so much! (And no, that's not sarcasm!!)

We've had a busy week again this week! And it will probably be busy until April . . . . because as soon as the holidays are over, the Scholastic Bowl season starts up!

Here's to a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to all! God bless you and yours during this time of family togetherness. :)

Sunday Morning

Yesterday, Callie came into my room while I was finishing up getting ready for church by putting on my jewelry. Callie: Mommy, you're very pretty. Me: Callie, that's very sweet. Thank you! Callie: You're welcome. Daddy's pretty too! Me: Oh Callie, you need to go tell him that . . . :)

Meanwhile, back at the Farm . . .

We're having some exciting happenings around the Booker Farm so I thought I'd write a little bit about what's going on with the kiddos. Callie Callie is so excited that we now have two dogs and three cats. Their names are (dogs) Belle and Ariel, (cats) Duchess, Dixie, and Thomas O'Malley -- Tom for short. She is very excited to be wrapping up another school year and looking forward to our travels this summer. She is taking on more responsibility around the house (which I love) and doing an excellent job for the most part in taking care of all the animals. I'm certainly enjoying watching her grow and blossom in so many ways, but this is especially significant to me. Philip and I are really striving to raise our children to be responsible, caring, and kind adults! I'm now teaching her on Wednesday Night Bible Class and I love observing her for the first time in a classroom setting as her teacher as well. She is a delight to have in class, if I may s...

Sometimes it's hard . . .

I feel like I've finally awoken from a long, chaotic dream. The past couple of weeks have gone so much more smoothly. The first 3 (or so) months with a new baby just throws my world upside down and inside out. While I'm in it, I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel --  that time when we all adapt to each other and find our new routine. I'm not saying I don't love it, because I do. I just don't love all of it! So I'll do a quick little catch up, write Nolan's birth story in another post and we'll be back on track. For a little bit at least. I think I've said before that I love writing. I mean love it. But for some reason, I've never been good at keeping a journal. I really want to. There are so many moments I want to make sure I write down and remember and I want to be good at keeping track of everything. But over and over again I prove it's just not something that I'm consistent with. It irritates me to the point th...
