Christmas Morning!

Nittany is wondering if she could maybe fit in Sawyer's new barn.

Reading the Christmas Story before we open gifts.

Ali was very excited to receive a clock.

SANTA!!!!...I Know Him

Ali: I don't think he knows what I am talking about.

Santa passing on some tips for Dad or more likely talking about fishing.

Happy 5th Birthday Allison

Happy Birthday to my Ali P! We love her more than we knew was possible and think she is the coolest girl we know. Ali loves school and is doing very well. Her teachers are impressed by her kindness and sweet nature. She loves to "read" books. Barbies, princesses and cooking are some of her favorite activities right now. She enjoys swimming and dancing. Listening to her pray can melt your heart and she is retaining lots of Bible stories. She requested "the one when they cut the baby in half" the other day. She loves us with all her heart and we love her more. She is bottom line, the greatest gal around. We love you sweetheart, Happy 5th Birthday. I hope your dreams come true this year of loosing your teeth. ;-)

Gobble 'til You Wobble

This is our project for Ali's thanksgiving feast at preschool. The kids had a blast working on it. Boy did I have a sticky mess to clean up when we were done with that! We are so looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with our families. We have so much to to thankful for:

• Our amazing kids and the health that they have been blessed with.
• Fun friends
  
• A great church where we love to worship.
• Resources to keep us well fed, nicely clothed, and comfortably sheltered.
• Family that we love and loves us in return.
• My sweet car the Kia Sedona!
• Curt's job and that we are able to have me stay home with the kids.
• And most of all God's Love that isn't deserved, but freely given.
  

What's For Dinner?...Pheasant!

Fall Hiking

God is Good All the Time...Especially Today

This is a phrase that I can remember Curt and my church pastor at Penn State saying all the time. It is so true. Ali had a followup EEG today to see how she is doing since she has been 2 years seizure free. She has been on meds and we have had no issues so we were really excited to see what the EEG would tell us. Bottom line is that she is doing significantly better! She no longer is having microbursts during awake time, only when she is asleep! Our neurologist told us that this is great improvement and that she feels really good about Ali growing out of the epilepsy eventually! She has always told us she may grow out of it, but never said that she feels one way or another in regards to Ali. This is huge! The game plan for now is to wait another year and repeat the EEG to see if the microbursts keep decreasing or are not present at all! Thanks for your prayers! Continue to pray for healing and praise the Lord of the Universe for working a miracle in my sweet Ali!
