Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and that Santa was good to you. We had a great day with Aunt Buddy and Uncle TJ here to visit. As you can see from the videos and pictures, some sideways...can't figure that one out...the boys were very excited!

Enjoy the rest of the holidays and I am sure I will be posting more pictures throughout the week.

Let it Snow, Let it snow!

Well, we have finally had our first snowfall in Williamsport and the boys were so excited. They love catching snowflakes on their tongues and of course sledding down the hills! Once we made a path there was no slowing them down. Kaleb wants to go faster each time and Kohen was on his back- head first- shooting himself down the hill. Hilarious!!! Mat and the boys were sledding as a totem pole...I was so nervous and they were just giggling the entire time. We didn't make a snow man yet, the freezing rain set in, but maybe in the coming days that will be something to look forward to.

We received the contract yesterday for the house in Muncy and will hopefully be signing it today and preparing to finish the painting and the rest. If you happen to visit us soon though, I can't promise light fixtures and flooring in all rooms yet. Less to manage and clean for now! :)

As we think about Christmas coming though I was reminded again of how awesome it is to think that God came to be with us in the form of Jesus. He faced all of the human trials and tribulations and what a marvelous act of humility on his part. Daily I strive to be like Him, and of course fail, but what an example. Remember that God is still always with us and that we can always count on Him to be faithful! He is good---all the time!

Terrible Twos????

So we have another child in the terrible twos! Although Kaleb is four and half, I think he is still in that stage some days. They are good boys and we are blessed to have them.
Kohen's Birthday was Friday and Grandma and Pappy Miller came for the weekend, along with Aunt Buddy. We had a lot of fun. We went to visit the house and did measurements of everything so that we can begin to do the flooring and lighting. Oh boy and did I mention that all trim and walls need to be painted??? Well, Rome was not built in a day and the Meyer house will be finished too...eventually!
In the pictures you can see Kohen eating his Birthday Dinner (His favorite-spaghetti w pepperoni sauce) and cake, Ice cream cake! The last picture is of him trying to cover himself from head to toe in Desitin...He is so fast and sneaky! The video is of him opening his gifts, which Kaleb loves and sometimes allows Kohen to play with. Nice of him, right?
I hope many are already finished with the things that make this season crazy and that you can enjoy the time together as Christmas day gets closer.

Home Sweet Home...Almost!

Have I ever mentioned how GREAT I think GOD is??? Well, time and time again he shows me how He is in control and that His plans are for the good of us. Today we agreed to purchase a For Sale By Owner home that met all of our needs and then some. Many times in these past six months we have wondered why things weren't "working out"...when all along they were.

And while we know that in this lovely real estate market nothing is certain, we do know that no matter what...this house, another or no house, we are BLESSED, TRULY BLESSED.

Since moving to Williamsport God has shown me that He is faithful and He is sovereign. We have all grown closer to not only Him but each other and i am so thankful.

In short, if you have never allowed yourself the opportunity to let God show you His awesomeness CALL ME! Better yet...CALL HIM- HE always answers-I am usually chasing the kids! :)

Sadly, as we celebrate a new home, Mat's coworker has lost his yesterday in a fire. Please pray for Dieter and that God will comfort and bless him immensely.

Oh Christmas Tree...Oh Christmas Tree

So another long weekend, but a lot of fun was had by all. Mat and I had his annual Christmas party and it was great to see everyone from Reading again. We actually stayed this year and had our second night away from the kids. They stayed with Aunt Buddy and Uncle TJ and while they loved it, I think Bud and TJ are never going to have kids if their nephews can help it!
Then we went to a Living Nativity with our new friends from Texas. They are so nice and we had a great time!
Today we started what we hope will be a new Meyer Christmas tradition...cutting down our own Christmas Tree. At the site where Mat works, his company bought a Christmas Tree farm...so we went four-wheeling in the truck on the landfill...A personal tour from Daddy... and then battled the FREEZING elements in search of our tree. You can see the progress from start to finish in the pictures. Turns out, Mat is great at shaping a tree with a machete. Who knew?
We have also come across a house that we love. It seems perfect and we are hoping and praying that it is in God's plan for us. If not, he knows what is best.
The day ended with a great STEELERS WIN! :)

At the park again

Yes, even on cold wintery days we will be at the park if it keeps us from going stir crazy. We went today for about an hour and the boys and I were the only ones there, but still had fun. Kohen's new "look at me" thing is from the Cat in the Hat movie with Mike Myers...Check out the video. Kaleb loves Christmas songs but when I ask him which one he wants to sing...Jingle Bells Batman smells is his choice! Who taught him that? What was it that I mentioned in the last blog about our Savior??? We are going to have to remind him of the reason for the season and not a silly song his mom only sang ONCE! Why is it that they can remember those things, yet when I ask them or tell them something else they are oblivious to my voice???
Enjoy the videos! Pictures to follow:)

Home from Pittsburgh!

We went home to spend a couple of days in the Burgh! It was great to see everyone but exhausting as usual. We always try to fit so many things in. We did visit with family and Mat and I visited with some of our FHS friends which is always a great time. I took next to no pictures but as you can see we got family ones taken.

Buddy, Mat and I battled the crowds for Black Friday...WE LOVE IT! But it wasn't as much fun without Aunt TT there:(!

Mat went hunting yesterday for the first time in YEARS! I don't understand how anyone could be quiet for so long! He didn't see anything but he plans to go a couple more times in the coming days.

No house news, keep that one in your prayers...or ask God to fill us in on his plan. We will be busy with Christmas activities as I am sure you all will. I pray that all are well and speaking of Christmas don't forget that the season isn't about being stressed out and hurried, BUT that our amazing savior was born for us so that we may LIVE! Praise God and many blessings to you all.
