Hello?.... Anyone still there??.....

Just wondering if there are still any faithful blog checkers checking our blog!...... It has, once again, been too long to even apologize... So, instead of trying to catch up, I'll just post some random pics from the past few months! We're finally able to get settled in our new home (I will post pics of that soon). I'm sure most of you want to see pics of the kids anyway!:)This was our gingerbread house. We had SO much fun putting it together!!! We got to enjoy it for about two weeks before we headed back to St. Louis for Christmas.
A few days before Christmas, we opened our presents at our new house! The kids really enjoyed it!! Zion woke up at 6:55 a.m. And for the first time ever, he got to wake Paige up!
We have a little tradition... We make Jesus a birthday cake for Christmas! (The icing I used to write Jesus' name was a bit runny!!)We got to go to Nana and Papa's house for the day! We got to see Francie, Larry & Guy--who we hadn't seen for a while! We all had fun!!
We also went to Iowa to see Granny, Papa Tom, Zack, Amy and Blake. We hung out at Zack & Amy's when we first arrived--Blake sure loves Maddox!:)
Here is Zion, who was quite excited about his new clothes for Uncle Jordan's wedding. Zion was the ring bearer and was SO adorable!! He got a little shy at the wedding and ran down the aisle with the pillow covering his face!
Zion and Brooke were dancing together while Kista was giving Nana and Pappy dancing lessons. They did a GREAT job, but didn't get a chance to try out their new moves at the wedding! I got some good pics of everyone learning to dance though:)
Daddy and Maddox were spending some floor time together! The picture is a little dark, but was so adorable I wanted to post it anyway!
This picture is a little dark as well. But it perfectly portrays both the boys at this stage... Zion loves Maddox SO much, he almost smothers him, and Maddox just lays back and enjoys it! They're going to be best friends!!
Here is happy Mr. Maddox! He is just about the happiest baby I've ever seen! Nana and Papa came to visit us at our new house! Papa was making Maddox laugh!
And Nana was reading a book to Zion and Paige. They all stopped for a second to smile for the camera--isn't this a sweet picture??!!
We had a little birthday party for Papa while they were here, and Daddy got some good pics!
Maddox likes his pacifier a lot of the time.... But his big sister likes to play with it and sometimes we misplace it... He actually does really well without it.... He decided to try out his thumb the other day! It was so adorable.We had Jordan & Alexis over to celebrate Jordan's birthday (a little late). Zion was excited about the cake (actually the icing!) and the ice cream!
Our friend's Tyler and Margo came over with Jord and Lexy as well! Zion asked if I would take a picture of all of them together. (Margo and Paige were reading a book on the couch.) We sure have fun when they all come over!!:)

Hi Sarah,
I love your blog-what great pictures of your family. Glad to hear you got moved. Looks like you're right on our way to visit Lee, so when I'm driving down I can stop in and say hi.

My Luke loved the picture you sent. He thought Zion would be lots of fun to play with. Ü

The pictures are great!!! We miss you guys sooooooooooooooooo much! I've been a bad blogger, but I'm going to try to be better about it. I love Zion in his outfit for the wedding, Paige's pigtails are adorable, You look GORGEOUS, and the picture of Maddox and Shane is priceless. What you guys have done this past year is amazing - not too many families can do what you guys have done. We love you dearly!
