I know it has been awhile

I know it has been a long time since I have updated. My mom who usually does not have time to read my blog asked last night if I was going to update any time soon. This year has been so busy this far. I started the year off by spending a week in Nashville at the Children's Pastors conference. I went with two of my co workers. We had a great time a learned a lot. Dave's mom came to help take care of the girls while I was away. I am so thankful that she came to help out. We are in the middle of remodeling the preschool department at church and we this Sunday we are going to 2 worship services and 2 Sunday Schools. So I have been working hard with all of this.
Emery Claire has started back to school and is still loving it. She has really grown up. Her class started having show and tell every week since they came back from Christmas break, she loves it. Dave got a Wii for Christmas and Emery Claire loves to play Wii.
Ella is talking up a storm and is too funny. She has such a sweet a heart and adores her big sister.
Dave is still loving his job with the City of Huntsville. He was so great to have him home with us during the holidays. It was also great that he gets little holidays too. Over Christmas we heard that his old company has made major cut backs. Dave would either taken a major pay cut or possibly lost his job. We are so thankful that he was given this job when he was. We had a rough summer making the transition, but God is faithful and provided for our needs and has given Dave a great job.
So that is basically what has been consuming our time this year so far. We are looking forward to this year and what God has in store for our family.
