Christmas Preschool Program...

This is Tyler's third program that we have attended over the past three years and this one brought tears to my eyes. They put on the most amazing program! And you will not believe this but Tyler had a speaking part. Yes, that is right the little boy that wouldn't go to anyone or even go in the locker room with his daddy when he was little actually got up in front of tons of people and spoke on the microphone! They chose two children from each class and when we got the letter home to practice his lines I couldn't believe it! Our little boy is growing up!

Here comes "Mr. Handsome".


HO.HO.HO...

A new tradition began tonight with a visit from Santa Claus! Our neighbor dressed up like Santa and surprised the kids and then Tommy returned the favor and dressed up for his grandchildren. Tommy was hilarious today, he walked around all day pretending to be Santa. It was so much fun and the kids couldn't believe that Santa made a special visit to their house before Christmas. We decided that we are going to do this every year from here on out! I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful holiday season as much as we are!

Here is Santa entering in from the back of the house. We banged on the door and had the kids run out front to see what the noise was and as we were all coming back inside this is what they saw! The kids went crazy!

It's been awhile...

and I have so many things to fill you all in on, so I will start today with....Tommy has officially signed with the Kansas City Royals!! This means lots of changes again for us. We were thinking he would re-sign with the Marlins and commute 20 minutes to spring training and if he didn't make the team drive his truck to Triple-A in New Orleans. That would be way to convenient..right? So, now it's spring training back in good old Arizona and Triple-A in Omaha, Nebraska!! We are going to stay positive and pray he makes the team because we heard Kansas City is awesome and the manager is suppose to be a great coach! We really feel like this is going to be a great opportunity for him and our family!! Best of all we get to explore another new city! Hope everyone is doing well...more news to come!!
