New Year's Conference

Here are some pics from this year's New Year's Conference in Atlanta. This one is Shane with some guys from South. Shane and I had such a great time catching up with students and staff. Gran (Shane's mom) went with us to help with the girls so I was able to go to alot of things.....for which I was VERY thankful! :)

Me and Kari :) awe....I miss you so!!

Kari and her FIANCE Abraham! YAY!! We are so excited for you guys!!

Me and Kristina (student from South)

One of my really good friends, Lindsay, (that I haven't seen in 4 years) drove down from Knoxville to Atlanta to see us and the girls. It was SO great to see you Lindsay!! (Lindsay is also the new owner of our dog Taco. We had to give Taco and Zeke away before we moved down here :(

Christmas 2008 Pics

Few pics from our Mobile trip

The girls playing with Jake Pilger. They were fighting over him for sure!

Landon in his cute Christmas outfit

The girls had so much fun at the Blackman's! (as did we!) Thanks again!

PawPaw and MawMaw came to visit us when we were in Mobile. Here is a pic with them and cousin Landon

My Nephew!

I got to meet my nephew, Landon, for the first time over Thanksgiving. He is such a little cutie!

Landon with his daddy (my brother, Douglas)

Thank you Lord for the Baby Bjorn!

I don't know what we would do without the Baby Bjorn carriers....seriously! This picture was taken back in November, but it is definitely a snapshot of what most of our days look like-especially around dinner time (when all the children are going nuts!). Journey was obviously MUCH smaller then and is now the same size as the girls (not quite...but she is definitely gaining on them fast!)

The Black's Are Back!

OK---so I have disappeared from the blogging world for a month or so....but, now I AM BACK! After the stomach virus in the middle of December and traveling all over creation for the holidays, it has taken me a while to recover! Not to mention that I am extremely overwhelmed by all the pictures and stories that I want to put on here and so I just keep putting it off :) SO, I say all that to say...I am going to slowly add new posts over the next few days (as time and the twins allow). So, please bear with me as I try to get "caught up"... I am a freak about chronological order and stuff like that so I'll have to start with pics, etc from Thanksgiving and move forward! :)

9 Month Stats

The girls had their 9 month appointment this week. Here are their stats:

Jocelyn: weight- 18 lbs 6 oz

This is one of the pictures that we had taken a while back of the girls. I will post some more soon....the pictures are AMAZING!!! (I guess I am a LITTLE bias :)
