Christmas 2009

My girls on Christmas morning

Nana reading our annual Christmas book to start out our day togetherEmma, Grace, Aiden and Austin

3 generations on Christmas Day!

Nana & Papa with the loves of their life!CHRISTMAS this year ws very relaxing for us. We spent one day with each side of the family, instead of traveling from house to house during the days.

We had a few cases of sickness right before and after the holidays. Cory had the flu and was down for 4 days, I was in the hospital with my first experience of kidney stones on the day of my Music Ministry program. That was so emotional for me. I have worked with those kids so hard and for the Lord to pick that day out of all days to put me in the hospital was difficult for me to understand. As my pastor said, Leigh you did your job and he knew it, so the kids finished it out. yes they did. I got lots of good compliments on it even though I wasnt there. On a good note, while in the hospital the Lord gave me the best gift ever, the news that cory and I were having a boy, yes a boy! Wow....that was shocking, but we are so excited now and I CANT wait for a little Cory. His name will be Blain Matthew!

We look forward to many things in 2010....Becoming a family of 5, our girls turning 6, and many things you will have to wait and hear about. Until next time, Happy 2010!

A girl and her guitar....

Emma has wanted a guitar for a long time, so we decided to get her one for Christmas, and as she would say...." I want a real one!" Thank you to a nice friend of the family helping us out, she got a FENDER guitar at the age of 5. She loves it so much and is learning new chords every week. She is also going to take online classes with Cory until she gets a little bigger. We dont push her to do it, and we do it on her time. Just because we want her to love it for her, not us.
