First baths in the big tub- we loved it!
Early Christmas w/ Kerri's parents
If you haven't heard of Lottie Moon, she was a single lady who was a pioneer Southern Baptist Missionary long ago. There is an offering in her name, called the Lottie Moon Christmas offering. This offering is the main support for Southern Baptist missionaries around the world today, including us, and every penny goes to international missions. If you'd like to support us and our fellow missionaries, please do so by giving to this offering at any Southern Baptist Church.
With Thanksgiving now over, Christmas is creeping up fast. Please don't let the busyness of the season and worrying about gifts given or received get in the way of celebrating what Christmas is all about- The coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who left His throne as Almighty God to come to this sinful world to die a horrible, torture ridden death to save sinners like us. We'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.
The Girls are doing well- we continue to get good reports from the doctors. We didn't get to do the MRI, so we'll keep you updated when we know something about that. The Occupational and Physical therapists said at their appointments yesterday that they were doing well and even were further along than 4 month olds should (which is their corrected age), praise the Lord! We have to go tomorrow for a swallow test to see if they are refluxing. Pray that goes well. Taylor has had a little cold or something, but seems to be getting over it, but now Kamryn seems to be coming down with it. Please keep her in your prayers. We are still awaiting medical clearance for them in order to go to Costa Rica. We do know, however, that we will not be going this month. It looks like now we will go in March or April. Please continue to keep us in your prayers about that, and pray with us that God will not let us miss the purpose for which He has kept us here for now. Thank you all so much for your continued faithfulness, support, prayers, and the kind comments.

i welled up a bit when reading this post knowing you would be disappointed with being put off until march. but let me also say you want those girls as healthy as possible before you take them on the field! i know you know God's timing is perfect but let me also encourage you to enjoy your time with your family and church family. having just had our second little blessing on the field, we miss our family getting to see fun things like peeing on dad and those laughs and smiles. soak in every minute the Lord gives you there in the states before you leave to serve in your new assignment. to void of famliy time and corporate worship are 2 of the greatest challenges once you're gone. we love you guys and love seeing the progess those 2 little sweeties are making. what a testament they are their at home for God's sovereignty and love and mercy! bug hugs from our girls to yours!
It was SO AWESOME to see you all at church Sunday night! Your little girls are even prettier in person! What wonderful little miracles! I just can hardly believe these are the same little girls that were in the early pictures....Our God is SO GOOD!!!
