Ms Witschorke: December 2009

Long time coming!

FINALLY! Yeah! The stand up freezer I have been wanting and waiting for for months is finally here! I'm not joking on the months part either. B and I decided that 1 way we could save money this year was to buy in bulk. So we get a membership to Costco in January and savings here we come! So I bring home the 1st load of food from Costco and the freezer door can barely shut b/c it is so full. Hhhmmmmm, that's a problem. But we muddle through for a few months and discover that we ARE saving money after all. So, now we have a problem, b/c the freezer would get so full that it would sometimes pop open during the day. So now we are wasting money! Ugh!
We decide to buy a freezer, but argued about where to put it. Well in May, the water heater busted and we decided to renovate the closet and place a freezer in there. Yes, I said May-- I told you it has been a long time! The wait is all over (thank goodness) and I am off to Costco......

tearing out the closet and building it back up to accommodate the freezer. I also tried a different color here, but didn't like it.

a different view

coming along and also found a color I liked

wait for it.....

TA-DA!!!!!!!

Welcome home Bessie!

Big Girl!

So I decided a few weeks ago to go ahead and retire Audrey's high chair and start having her eat at the table with B & I. It took a little bit, but she has finally gotten used to it. I probably should have made the switch a long time ago, but to be honest, the high chair was just easier. I guess I never really realized how big her high chair was and how much room it took up until it was gone. It's nice having the extra room by the counter. Anyway, as the old saying goes: Out with the old and in with the new!

Bye-Bye high chair!

such sweet memories...

just relaxing.....

Wow! What a big girl eating at the table like mommy and daddy!

this is so much cooler then my high chair!

we even tried our 1st grilled cheese sandwich. It was a hit!

Woo-Hoo!

Hi!

We're Expecting

Some of you might have already read, but this post is to announce that we are expecting our 3rd child in August. We'll keep you updated as the pregnancy progresses. Thank you already for your prayers of health.

School Field Trip to Collin Creek Mall

Thanks to our wonderful Kristie, I got to take both of the kids to Ella's field trip to Collin Creek Mall. Ella sat on Santa's lap (Will freaked and wanted nothing to do with the fuzzy man). Both kids played on the great indoor playground.

Ella fed herself ice cream with all of her friends and then Will got to take Ella's turn on the train in the mall...benefit to being the little brother (the same size as the 3 and 4 year olds).

Girls Night at Rise

These girls are very special to me. They have all been there since BEFORE Joe and I started dating and have been shoulder's for me to cry on and laugh with...we all needed this dinner to catch up and laugh some more.

FC Christmas Party 2008...end of memory lane.

You can tell I had a lot of fun with friends this year. Two kids at home will do that to you.

Fellowship Class Christmas Party 2007...memories...

Stephanie is 6 months pregnant with Julia and I'm 8 months pregnant with William. Stay tuned for 2008 and Ashley will be pregnant...it's contagious in the class.

Fellowship Class Christmas Party 2006...just for fun

Sunday School Christmas Party

Soft...like a scarf.

Joe and his brother, Josh, had a cat when they were younger...named Scarf. When asked WHY they named him that the answer is..."because he was soft, like a scarf". Weird.

Here is our little man in a scarf because he wanted one like mommy's.

I can communicate!

This is a device that speaks words or phrases when you press the large blue buttons. Our AMAZING Speech Therapist, Jennifer, put sticker on each button. One says "juice" with a picture and one says "pudding" with a picture. Ella is pressing the "juice" button and then getting her juice!! It's fun to watch her figure out that she can actually ask for something and we understand her. We are working on this at home as well. This is very exciting. One small step at a time.
