Introducing.....

CHANDLER!! Isn't she a cutie?!?! Chandler made her grand entrance this afternoon at the Deavours' household. I am wondering what tricks she will have up her sleeve to make sure Aubrey and Lainey ( and possibly Dan) are good children for Santa?!? So if you come to our house and see Chandler hiding out, you better be on your best behavior...never know she might be spying for Santa to let him know if you are being bad or good!

From our House to yours.....

I am thankful for....

playtime with Aubrey and Lainey. The girls are getting to the age where they are laughing out loud and it is soooo cute! I am enjoying this new phase in their lives. They are starting to grab for toys more and they are more alert at things. Of course they have also started learning where their hairbows are now and pulling them along with the headband down over their eyes, I am trying to break that habit! lol I took this video of them last night. ( Lainey is my giggle box and Aubrey shows everyone how much she loves her toes! and please excuse my lovely voice...I hate talking on a camera!)

I am thankful for...

a wonderful, loving, caring father for my daughters. Dan is THE BEST dad ever! I have had people tell me they worried how he might be once the girls got here, but he has proved them all WRONG! And to be honest, I get joy bragging on how great he has been with the girls. Yes, he changes diapers (even the stinky ones)! YES, he feeds them(and has learn to handle spit up very well)! YES, he gets them dressed(even down to putting on the hair bows!)! YES, he enjoys rocking the girls to sleep every night(even sings to them)! YES HE GETS UP THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO FEED THEM(and sometimes he gets up with both girls and lets me sleep)! Aubrey and Lainey are very blessed to have Dan as their daddy!

How could you not be thankful for this???

I am thankful for....

Blind dates!!!!! I know...crazy huh??? Well, if it wasn't for a blind date Dan and I would of never met, but today I am doing something I am thankful for and someone I am blessed to have in my life. Danyell ( or Miss Hudson as lots of people in Berry know her as) is the person I am blessed to have in my life. Today, November 8th, she blessed the world with her presence. Had it not been for her being on this earth, Dan and I would of never met, she was our "matchmaker" Everyday I thank the good Lord above for my friends, and I have some WONDERFUL TERRIFIC FRIENDS! She has always been there when I needed her, even if she didn't always agree with what I had to say or do! We have been on vacations, cruises, shopping trips ( can't wait to experience my first after thanksgiving shopping experience with you! She gets up at 3 AM to go!) crazy and happy times and a few sad, but not matter what we always have a wonderful fun time together! So Danyell, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I am blessed to have you in my life and thankful for what you have done in my life! I love you!!! :)

I am thankful for....

the happiness that comes on Saturdays from getting to watch SEC football. Granted Dan and I might not agree on the same team, but we enjoying the happiness it brings us getting to watch our favorite team play and win(well one team this season is doing a little better in the winning category than the other!!!)

Enter his gates with THANKSGIVING and his courts with praise;give thanks to him and praise his name."~~Psalm 100:4

• Nov 1: Thankful that I have a roof over my head
• Nov 2: Thankful for a husband that goes to work to provide for our family so I can be a stay at home mom
• Nov 3: Thankful for my wonderful Family and Friends

So what are you thankful for?

5 Months Old

Where is the time going??? The girls are growing more and more each day! It's hard to believe they are already five months old. They are such a blessing to us and we are truly blessed to have them! They are both rolling over from their back to their stomachs. They are "talking" up a storm and it's sooo funny! They smile all the time, they are such happy babies! And of course, they are mommy's little fashion divas still! :) The girls love singing, their new favortie song is one that Moma D sings to them, "the itsy bitsy spider" They are all smiles when she starts this song. They also smile when I start singing " Yea Alabama" even though their Daddy makes an ugly face, the girls love it! :)
