DISNEY WORLD 09

Just in case you miss us!

My laptop died..and i miss it so much! I lost pics from Oct-Jan. Hopefully we can recover them. Anyway, I have a few pictures to share with you since I am stuck inside with ice storms. Thankfully, we leave tomorrow for Disney World! Hopefully I will have lots of fun pics to share with you.

I had considered going back to work early, but changed my mind when I discovered the price of childcare around here. WOW! Two kids in DC would be about 400 a week!!! So I decided to just make the most of the time I have with them and plan to go to work in the Fall.

We are getting a lot more involved in church. We have found a great place that really loves children. I am now teaching AWANA to 8&9 year old girls. We are in the new member class and a small group. It feels great to be involved in such a great church.

I am also starting to get involved with a local mom's group. There are a lot of these around here. So cool. We are also looking into getting Avery started in a Soccer league. Lots on the horizon, but I will leave you with these pictures.

Take Care,
Alesha

75 Degree FUN!

Avery filled her jelly bean jar twice so we took her on a mystery outing! We took her to Putt Putt golf. The place was awesome! Avery had a blast! Check out the pics from our day!






Also, we are headed to Disney in a couple weeks. Avery and I made a poster to help countdown the days to our big trip. We are all very excited to get away for a almost a whole week.



The Mickey's on the poster are actually FREE paint samples from Home Depot. Everyday she puts a sticker on one of them.

Avery has some news to share.....

no we're not expecting...ha!








She has been asking a lot of questions lately...plus she has learned a ton from AWANA. She came to me (Alesha) and asked me how she could get God in her heart....so we talked about it and she prayed a simple prayer. We are proud of her...and grateful that she has such a loving and sensitive heart.

Our Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas in Baton Rouge. It was great to hang out with family during this special time of the year. Once we get our house next year, it will be much harder to leave on Christmas..so not so sure we will leaving our home in 09. Anyway, without further ado, here are some pics from our holiday. (These are all straight out of the camera..didnt get a chance to edit them)

We spent Christmas Eve with the Bonds, Christmas Lunch with the Watts and Christmas Dinner with the Heberts. We are so blessed to have so much family.

Santa was very generous to Avery this year, as he gave her a trip to Disney World. She is totally excited. We will be flying out on Jan. 28th.

My favorite part of Christmas this year was creating new traditions in a new town. We had a great Christmas season!

Special thanks to the Bond Bed & Breakfast for taking such awesome care of us!
