Thank you for taking an interest in our family blog! It is a private blog, and I appreciate you not sharing your login information. I hope you can tell that we love Jesus and are living solely to raise our children to make much of His name and to stand out in a world of sin and conformers. I hope you find that what you read is genuine. Nothing is put on for show to make us look ideal. We are ANYTHING BUT the ideal family. We are real. We have problems. We trust Jesus in all we do.

Preferred Way to Sleep
I caught these two sneaking in a Saturday afternoon nap. However, it's hard to tell Landree is sleeping since she prefers to sleep with her face covered!

Annabelle-isms: October - December 2012
More of the funny things Annabelle says. I really should write a book!
October 28, 2012
After reading her Children's devotional tonight about giving thanks to God because everything comes from Him, AB's response, "I just like everything about God!" Me, too, baby girl...
November 5, 2012
On our way home from church yesterday we drove past the shooting range...
AB: What's that noise??
Me: That's a gun, baby.
AB: What?? The thing you put in my hair??
Me: Excuse me??
AB: You know, for ballet when you put a gun in my hair.
Me: That would be a BUN, honey....
November 10, 2012
After AB was debating with me to the point I wanted to pull my hair out I said, "Oh my goodness you are your Father's child!" Then she replied, "Ummm, Mommy, Daddy is not a 'Fah-der!' He's a parent!"
November 16, 2012
Annabelle (in the back seat): "Up, up and away!"
Me: "Who says, 'up, up and away?' "
AB: "Santa Claus!"
Me: "I thought he said, 'ho, ho, ho?' "
AB: "Oh, right...."
November 19, 2012
AB: "Mommy! I want to play with someone. Someone who talks!"
Me: "As opposed to someone who doesn't talk?"
AB: "Yes Mommy, like you!! I want to play with you! Come on, you'll be the sweetie and I'll be the Mommy."
Me: "The sweetie, huh?...."
November 21, 2012
After giving AB a kiss on the cheek...
AB: "Mommy, I had to wipe off your kiss, just a little bit, because you bit me and I didn't like it.
Me: "I didn't bite you! I accidentally shocked you. Don't go around telling people I bite you..."
December 17, 2012
AB: "Mommy, can I watch the care bears and that 'cracknucker' movie?"
Me: "That would be Nutcracker, sweetie."
December 21, 2012
After "reading" the book, Peter Rabbit. She opens up to the title page and Peter Rabbit's head is in a watering can. AB asks, "Mommy! Is Peter Rabbit 'frowing up?!"
December 23, 2012
AB: "Mommy, are we going to see Santa, now?"
Me: "Yes!"
AB: "But the North Pole is so far away!!"

AB: "Mommy! Did you see Ralphie in my Barbie car?"
Me: "I sure did!"
AB: "Can I take him out?"
Me: "No, you have to wait until tomorrow when he chooses a new spot."
AB: "Good. Because I do not like him in that Barbie car."
...and that would be my three year old completely unimpressed with her elf in the Barbie car. Fail.
Me: "I sure did!"
AB: "Can I take him out?"
Me: "No, you have to wait until tomorrow when he chooses a new spot."

Leighton Noelle Perrin
November 16, 2012 we welcomed this sweet baby girl...
Leighton Noelle Perrin
Oh, how I ate up loving on this sweet baby girl and I couldn't get enough snuggles in before I had to hand her back over! Something about Leighton reminded me so much of AB when she was first born. I think it was the sweet little round face! Love her!
One of Leighton's first outings was to AB's first dance recital. It meant so much having Jason, Chelsea and Leighton there to support AB. I love this picture of her and LC. Look how tiny Leighton looks...and how huge Landree looks!!! Love these sweet girls!!
Luke Austin McCullough
On November 6, 2012, this sweet boy was born.
Meet Luke Austin McCullough
AB and I went up to the hospital the night he was born, but we didn't get to meet him because he had to spend 24 hours in the NICU. Shortly after he was born our whole family came down with sickness of one type or another, so I didn't actually get to meet Luke until he came home. Oh, what a joyful night it was when I got to hold this precious little man! Love him so much!!!
I think Landree enjoyed meeting him, too! Seeing these two together just melted my heart! We love you Lukey!
Room 10
It's crazy to think how fast time has flown. This big, sweet girl was just a teeny, tiny baby...it seems. Love her so much!!!
Shortly after, Kate was being moved to post partum, so AB and took her things over to her post partum room. I love this pic of AB with her little "visitor" badge on. It doesn't seem like all that long ago she was the patient...and not a visitor.
