I don't realy know how to do this...re-cap on the last 6 months...with the holidays and everything? (unfortunately I cannot get any of my pictures to save on the blog so you will just have to read...blah, blah, blah!)I guess to start we can talk about Jackson and how he is all boy. In November he fell off his 4-wheeler and broke his olecranon (the tip of the elbow). He was casted for about 5 weeks which made bath time so much more interesting. Thankfully he did not have to have surgery. The surgeon eventually removed the cast after Thanksgiving and said there were no restrictions. ( if you see the neon green cast in the pictures you will know.)
The holidays were spectacular! I can't remeber the last time I was so giddy! Jackson received a train set...which I totally knew he would love, which he did. For 20 minutes he would not say a word-just wanted to play with his train set. We ended up opening all of his other presents from HOHO!
Mark and I have also been very busy. Unfortunately since October we have been plagued by sickness( his first year teaching, he's bringing home all kinds of fun germs!haha), from two rounds of the stomach virus to Mark's bout with pneumonia to the most recent with me having all four of my impacted wisdom teeth removed. Things have definately been interesting. We have all learned much patience. It's a good thing I'm reading the "Love Dare" or things would have gotten ugly!ha!
Yet we have also been busy in wonderful ways. Mark just returned from WV with our youth on a snow ski trip. Wish I had pictures-he dosen't realize that he is approaching 30 and the black slopes should be left to the more agile! I've been enjoying some great time with the female side from our church. Myself and two of my closest girl friends teach the teen girls Sunday School. If you don't come in contact with teenagers please be in prayer for this group. It is unbelievable the lies that the world and Satan tempt them with. My heart is so burdened for these girls. I just pray for Spirit-led time with this awesome group! We also just returned from a couples retreat to Dahlonega-very moving. We made cardboard testimonies. If you don't know what that is go to youtube-it's a great idea for churches. The Lord is so good. We have grown so much in the past 6 months and He continues to give us a hunger for Him like we have never had before.
And lastly, we have a wonderful new addition to our family: John Clay Talley 7lb.12oz. on Jan. 14, 2009. Lesli, Jason, and Jase are all doing well. He is a good baby and Lesli has had a great recovery. What wonderful blessings!
Hope all of you are well. I hope to be up to speed with my blogging before too long. love you all!
