New year, new look

I thought I'd get a jump on the blog redo and make it over today. It'll still be a work in progress (as are most things in my life) until I get it the way I want it. I'll leave you with the year in review page I finished yesterday. Happy New Year everyone!

Merry Christmas

we wish you a merry christmas
We want to wish all our family and friends the merriest Christmas, filled with the joy of the birth of our Lord and Savior. We hope you get to enjoy the time with the people your love remembering the true reason we celebrate this season.

As for us, 2008 brought a lot of changes. We started the year both still working at Baylor. Early in the year, Ryan Sanders Baseball came calling and in March, Khalil took the job as the Director of Stadium Operations for the Corpus Christi Hooks. I continued to work at the Baylor Alumni Association until May and then resigned in anticipation for our move south. At the same time, the organization moved Khalil in the same position to the Round Rock Express. Yes, the kids and I are still in Waco. We are pretty much here until the house sells or we can lease it out, at any rate. So for the time being, I'm a stay at home mom and Khalil is an hour and change down the road and comes home as much as possible. This year saw Emma turn 5 and Camden turn 2. Both are as precocious and rambunctious as ever. They are the true blessings of our lives. We have so much to be grateful for and we look forward to all the fabulous changes that 2009 will bring!

A little video treat

I've been trying to add this video now since last night. Finally, got it done!
Here is our little angel singing in church yesterday.

Just wanted to share

I've been scrapping some older photos and I just wanted to share this page and a story. Last night, Pook and I went through all of the toys and got rid of some to make room for the new ones coming at Christmas. She loves the thought of giving them to someone who doesn't have anything. She told me that she wanted to get rid of all of her baby toys. After all, she is 5 now and it's time for them to go. As I was telling her daddy this last night on the phone we both got really emotional because our baby girl is growing up. Daddy, of course, wants her to stay this size forever, to always crawl up in his lap and just snuggle with him. It seems like just yesterday she was the size she is in the photo below. It's crazy how time flies!
