The first exciting thing that's happened is my brother is engaged! We are so thrilled and can't wait to make her part of the family. Since she teaches the boys in their classes at church, they call her Miss Lacey and they can't wait to make her Aunt Lacey! They will be getting married on June 11th, Adam's birthday. He should never forget his anniversary, no excuses!
The night they got engaged
We had a fun Christmas with lots of family. Here's a few of the highlights.
The boys got toy shot guns on Christmas Morning
Anna Kate isn't too sure what all the fuss is about.
We went swimming at my parent's hotel.
The baby snowman.
One of the other things I was sooooo excitied about doing was meeting our new neice Parker. She is 7 weeks older than Anna Kate. Tiffany and I had lots of fun playing with each others babies. Since everyone was in town together, we had a double baby dedication.
Thomas and Parker
It's also Campaign season again. Tom is running for re-election as County Judge. The Head family as a whole would love and appreciate your prayers! Campain seasons can sometimes be a time of intense warfare and spiritual attack not just against Tom but for the family as a whole. Satan just doesn't like Godly people in leadership. Godly leaders stand for family values and it puts a kink in satan's plan to destroy families. We truly do covet your prayers!

(he drew the 1st place!!!)
Nathan is playing basketball again. This is his second season. He loves competition. He turned 7 just before Christmas and had a party with family and his buddy Trevor at Mr. Gatti's. I can't believe he is getting so big. He loves going to Joyful Heart tuesday school. He's been learning about levers, music, and doing lots of art projects.
Noah is still on some restrictions while his arm is growing and healing. He still has a little bit of a curve to his arm but the doctor expects that it will continue to straighten out as he grows. It could still take several more months. We go back for another appointment in early March to see if he will be allowed to play soccer. The curve in his arm makes the bones more apt to break again, but if there is lots of new bone then he should be able to play with the aid of a brace just in case. The other day in the car he asked me, "Mom, can we please go to the park so I can just LOOK at the slide?" This little boy is soo active and it breaks me heart to see him slowed down. I am still pretty nervous about another break. I try not to let it show, but Noah knows I worry. If he falls down in another room, he comes and tells me. "Mom, I feel down, but it was soft and I'm okay." Such a sweet heart.
Anna Kate is 4 months old today. She is the joy of our home these days. She giggled for the first time a couple of days ago. Now, everyone is making a fool of themself making silly faces and goofy talk to get her to do it again. She doesn't go for her check up for a couple more weeks. I will post more of her updates when I get her weighed. Until then, here's a peek at the Cupcake.
Don't you just want to eat her up? I sure do!
