Bedtime Story

I'd like to start off by saying that our camera is not acting correctly, BUT I had to share this picture. Tommy is reading The Creation Story to the kids for bedtime. I caught them with the camera but Noa caught me taking a picture. I just love seeing them enjoy time with Daddy! It's moments like these when I just want to make them all freeze. But then again I also love seeing them grow and learn new things. Bye for now!

Tommy, Noa and I on our way to Trunk or Treat at Tommy's school. Tommy was a whoopiee cushion and Noa was a giraffe. That is the same giraffe costume that Tommy wore back when he was 18 months old. Noa is almost 3. That is a good indicator of how big he was at that age. Anyway, they were so adorable in their costumes and Tommy won the funniest costume prize in the costume contest.

The top picture is Hannah in her impromptu pirate costume. She went to a halloween party on Friday and had a blast with a lot of new friends. She has decided that she wants to be a bag of jelly beans for the actual halloween night so we will be working on that costume this week. I can't wait to post pictures of our halloween costumes later this week!

A Busy Season

Life is full of seasons, one after another. Right now we are back in a busy season. Usually the fall and spring are the busiest times for us. Hannah is playing softball, Tommy is playing soccer and Noa is just Noa and goes along for every ride, game and practice! Hannah has had 9 games rained out this season, but for some reason we still feel busy. But we love the business! It keeps us focused and dependent on God. Without his daily strength, I don't think we could pull through each day, at least not with a joyful heart!

Today Hannah has her first band concert. I am not sure how much playing they will be doing because she said they only have 2 songs, each lasting about 1 minute. But we will be there to hear all the squeaks and off notes that they make. It will be fun! We also have a softball game tomorrow night, as long as it doesn't rain again. Tommy has two soccer games this weekend too.

And some more really great news.......Noa is potty trained!!!!! I am so proud of her, she did almost on her own!

Lastly, I know that this is an old picture, but I came across it and I just loved it! It was taken December 22, 2008. The morning after Noa was born. Hannah and Tommy made their shirts and still wear them now, almost 3 years later. Just the other day Hannah said she wanted to keep that shirt forever! Oh and yes, my son is probably picking his nose, I don't try to stop it anymore so hopefully they will grow out of that some day!

I hope everyone reading is having a great day and will continue to do so, I am off to prepare for dinner, do laundry, dishes, take a jog on the treadmill, clean my bathroom and send an email!!!! Busy busy I tell you! --Amy

Welcome to our Nance Family Blog!!! I decided that this would be an excellent way to keep everyone posted on what we are up to and see pictures of the kids! This picture is from Christmas 2008. It was supposed to be our Christmas card picture but I didn't get them out in time for Christmas. I have 50 of them printed so they will be in this years cards as well as a picture from this year!! Anyway, I hope that you will enjoy reading our blog and hopefully get a few laughs in too. Things get crazy around here, but I wouldn't trade a second of it!
