A Long Overdue Update

Wow! Has it already been two months since we blogged?! Well, here are a few updates from the past two months...
Chase got a "monster buck", a big 10-pointer, when he went hunting up north with his dad, brothers, uncle, cousins, and friends for their annual hunting trip. It's his biggest buck yet, and he was really excited about it! He also got a 5-pointer. Most of all, he enjoyed the camaraderie with family and friends.
While he was gone, I (Sarah), Coleton and Sarina enjoyed spending time with my family at their house.
In November, we had the opportunity to take care of Chase's sister's kids for the weekend. Clayton and Connor are two and a half and 16 months old, so we experienced having 4 kids under the age of 3. It was wild, but fun. We were grateful to also have Chase's sister, Lydia (now 9 years old), spend the weekend. She was a huge help!
Clayton and Coleton love their Auntie Lydia!
Coleton turned 3 on November 23rd! We enjoyed a small celebration at home as a family, and look forward to celebrating with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins after the holidays.
Chase helped Coleton put the star on our tree as we decorated the house for Christmas. Coleton really enjoyed helping us this year, bringing me branches to set up the tree, putting ornaments on the tree, and of course drinking holly nog - a family tradition for Christmas decorating.
Coleton's treatment continues to go very well, and we'll try to keep this blog updated as he progresses through it. We are still so very grateful for all your prayers! God bless you and Merry Christmas!
