The girls have been enjoying being a part of their school's jump rope team once again this year. Their team performed a show at halftime of an Asbury University's Women's Basketball game this week. As always, they were highly entertaining. We missed AJ being out there though.
Last weekend was my Mom's birthday so I made a quick, solo trip to Indiana to see her and the rest of my family. Her new house is almost finished, which is super exciting for her. The poor woman has been roughing it in an RV while she waits for her house to be finished.
My Mom's cat TROUBLE (yes, his name is in all caps for a reason & this picture shows how fitting his name is).
He was hiding in the sink and every time someone walked by to pet him, he'd attack.
I didn't realize I'd get to be part of the "fun" of laying floor.
We got the hallway finished!
Half of Mom's room done
And even got a bit of "my" room done (guestroom)
The fireplace looks great!
The kitchen is almost done.
Uncle Andy thought it would be fun to give Caleb a ride on Mom's lazy Susan.
I'm not sure he was quite as into it as Andy was.
And then we had to celebrate the birthday girl!
We asked a friend of my parents to make a quilt from my Dad's old t-shirts and gave it to my Mom for her birthday. She did a wonderful job.
It's January in Kentucky which means snowstorms that bring life to a screeching halt. We got about 4 inches last Wednesday and another 10 inches on Friday. The kids have enjoyed the time off from school.
We kicked off our Christmas activities with the Christmas Eve service at Church.
Essie played one of the angels in the nativity.
And Matt sang a special song with our friend Rose
We've traveled so much the last 6 months that we decided to stay home this Christmas. We all enjoyed waking up in our own beds Christmas morning and then headed next door to open presents at Granpa & Grandma Kinnell's house.
AJ's 7th-Grade basketball team participated in the Dick's Sporting Goods Middle School Showcase in Lexington over the weekend, and his team went 4-0 to win their bracket and a 1st place trophy.
