Savanna & Porter Angels in the Snow



A few weeks ago we had a good snow & ice here in the Ozarks. The kids enjoyed making snow angels and just playing in the snow that we don't seem to get very often. Many schools were closed and electricity was lost leaving many without heat and some without water. Those times of loss always helps you appreciate those luxuries of life much greater.

Our Visit to See Addisyn


The whole family took a trip to see little Addisyn while she was still in the hospital. She's as cute as a newborn can be and has two beaming parents proud and ready to show her off. Here are some pictures I took while we were there in their tiny room that they were sharing with another new mother.

Santa Claus


The kids got to see Santa today and got to tell him what they wanted for Christmas. They were happy to see him. They actually offered a package that gave you a print and a disk with the photo on it and a copyright release. That way we can do what we want with the photo without having to scan it.

Mabel's First Halloween

Halloween Phun


As custom dictates, our children dressed up for the age old
tradition of fighting off evil spirits by dressing as one themselves. Although
I don't think they scared too many evil beings as they were too adorable to
scare anyone, but I know that the evil spirits around them are jealous because
they are the cutest little costumed ghouls around. So with them being so cute
Linell and I dressed up as well. Here is the photographic evidence:

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!

Well everyone, Lizzie and I went to the doctor today just for a normal check up and to hear the baby's heart beat, but we ended up getting a lot more than that! Since the doctor wanted to have a much more accurate due date than we could give her she decided to do an ultrasound to measure the little tike. She was then suprised at how much the baby was already developed and asked if we wanted to know if it was a boy or girl. Of course we wanted to know and she said, "Well if you look here you can see a little bum, and there are the two legs, and yep there is deffinately an appendage hanging down there, so it is for sure a boy. I mean definate. You can even start shopping if you want." It was so awesome to see him moving all over the place and to hear him. So we found out that Lizzie is 14 weeks 5 days along and she is due on April 21!!!!!! Let us know what you all think as far as names go. So far we have only come up with the last name NOTHUM!!!!! We love all you guys and can't wait to see you back in Missouri for Christmas.
Well, the girls took 3rd at state. Now Rachelle is taking advantage of the few days before basketball starts and is in Idaho with Shanell. I'm sure they are having a GREAT time together!
