Our Christmas Decor

Our Front Door. I love these tree's!

I had a hard time finding a stocking I liked for Coop, but I finally decided to go with this one. It is a lot bigger than I thought it would be when I ordered it online. It is made very well too.

Coopers grandmother (my mom) made this tree for him. I have it sitting on a end table next to our couch. Its the only tree I have up this year.

His "C" ornament! So adorable!

Im trying to get motivated to decorate for Christmas. I have a small tree up that my mom made for Cooper and thats about it. And this wreath on the front door. I normally put stuff up before Thanksgiving, Im just very behind this year.

Me and Cooper this morning. Im trying to cut his nails. He is 10 1/2 weeks old and I have already cut his fingers 2 different times trying to do this. It makes me nervous, but John will not dare do it. He is afraid he will cut him too. But, if I dont he scratches his face and really cries then.

All done, thats why Im smiling and I didn't even cut him!! Yay!! He is showing off his new "manicure" ladies!!

Update on Us!!

Coop is 2 months old and I cant believe it. He is such a joy!! He really is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. I want to update ya'll on whats going on with my family. As most of you know we lost my brother Chad in a car wreck last May. Sometimes I just dont want to accept that I will not wake up one day and this just be a bad dream. And some days, I have such a peace of where our Chad is. And I do know, and this is what gets me through, is that we WILL be with Chad again. And man, what a day that will be. Im going to whip him though, for leaving us so soon! I just cant wait to see that smile again. He has the most contagious smile that I got to see for 25 years. And I still see it. He is everywhere. Cooper has been smiling in his sleep since he was born, and when he stares off into space, I truly believe he is smiling at his silly Uncle Chad. It comforts me. Well I do have a big prayer request from ya ll. My mom has been diagnosed with a very rare form of Leukemia. She is doing pretty good right now, and she is definitely fighting for us. She is just so tough. The medicine seems to be working right now and I just ask ya'll to remember her in your prayers. Also, if any of you are wandering where my previous 2 years of post are, I deleted them. John (my husband) wanted me to for privacy reasons. I was going to quit blogging since I hadn't in so long, but I got some of the sweetest e-mails asking how I was doing. And some of them were from complete strangers. Ya'll are so sweet out there. There are so many wonderful friends you meet through the blog world! I love you all. Here is a picture of Cooper that I took for his 2 month pics!! He melts my heart!! p.s.- I love ya'll and I have missed ya'll too!!
