Playing Catch Up

A whole lot has happened in the past two months! We've been crazy busy and I've been a super bad blogger lately! So here's some of what's been going on with us.

1. Karis turned three months in November and was dedicated to the Lord on the 15th. We were so excited to dedicate her. I never really realized the fullness of responsibility that comes with raising a child until I held her in my arms after recovery in the hospital. It all of the sudden hit me like a ton of bricks! Mike and I are the two most influential people in her life and are supposed to guide and lead her in life and teach her how to live. It took about a nano second, if that, to understand we cannot do it without God. So, on the 15th of November we officially made a promise to God in front of a crowd of witnesses and our families that we would do our upmost best to raise Karis in the knowledge and wisdom of God in partnership with Him. Thank goodness that we're not alone!

2.

ris celebrated her 1st Thanksgiving in Houston. She meet some of her cousins for the first time & loved every minute they spent with her! She just smiled and laughed as she watched their every move.

3. In December, Karis turned 4 months and met Santa for the first time. It went pretty well. She would not smile for anything, though! I guess that's better than her screaming at the top of her lungs like the baby did before her.

4. Karis also got a good-ole fashioned panhandle, white Christmas. She did catch somewhat of a cold there and ended up staying inside a bunch, which was ok with us. I guess we've climatized to warmer weather because it was bitter cold, colder than I remember it being before. She got a jumper for Christmas, which she LOVES!
