We had a major breakthrough last night with the kids. Both girls slept in Emma's bed and Sam slept in his bed. We had to bribe Sam. We told him we would put up the tree today if he slept in his bed. Jeremy had to get up with him about a hour after he fell asleep but after that he was fine. I got up once with Emma but only because she somehow fell out of the bed. I picked her up and put her back in the bed and she went back to sleep. Chloe did not wake up once. They did all wake up at 6:45 and all ended up in our bed. We did rest until about 7:30. I have learned that them sleeping in their own beds may not happen again for a while but we will continue to try. The girls are taking a nap in their own bed so that is also good. Chloe has been napping in our bed. After we all woke up I went to Curves and then went to Wal-Mart for a few grocery items and I found Sam's Christmas gift. I ordered Jeremy's gift online so I think I am about done with Christmas shopping. When I got home we put our Christmas tree up and some other decorations. I put lights around my mantel and it looks pretty. I have a lot of Christmas and snowmen knick-knacks but I am not going to put all of that out this year. Well the kids are extremely excited with the Christmas decorations but so far they have been good about not pulling on everything. We will see how long that lasts. I have a feeling December is going to be a long month. Well Jeremy is about to leave to get some work done and then he has a Bible study tonight with the teens, so I better get a few things done before he leaves.

It is always hard jumping back into a blog post because there is always so much that has happened since the last time that I posted. We have had a pretty major change in our family in the last month, but there is another sort of change that has inspired this post this morning. I cut my hair yesterday. I know life shattering isn't it? I know it seems so trivial, but the truth is the Lord revealed something to me that I have never really thought about. I love my hair. We have made some memories over my 39 years. It actually started the moment I was being born and the doctor told my mom that I had a full set of black hair. Given the fact that my brother and sister who came before me were both bald headed, I think my mom made a comment to the doctor about if he was sure I was hers. My very first compliment was about my hair! I lived my young life with nice thick hair. Sometimes it was long and sometimes it was cut short. My Pawpaw used to call me Pete Rose because I had the bowl cut ...
