Let's Catch Up

Today's post was the first one in a about a year (or more?) and as you can probably tell, a lot has happened!

Now let me be honest, I am not committed to blogging (ha) but in case I feel the urge to do it again, I want to lay the ground work for any of my future ramblings :) So, here is our Christmas letter! I sums it all up for ya.

December 2009

Well, where to begin…This year has been full of wonderful life-changing events, starting with the birth of Camryn Joi and Olivia Grace!!! These newest Pitts girls joined us on May 2, 2009 and all dull moments are now officially full of bottles, diapers, play dough, homework, carpool lines, play dates and family-fun.

The twins, now 7mo, are on the move. Crawling, scooting, pulling and diving mouth first into any and everything. They love playing with their sisters and the look in their eyes lets us know they can’t wait to join them in the real fun! They are truly a joy to watch and we are blessed to have them.

Kaitlyn Noel, our lil Christmas baby is not really a baby anymore; she will turn 3 on the 23rd!!! Her favorite color is purple and at her request, she will have a “purple birthday” celebration on Dec. 19th. She is growing up but still loves to cuddle and when she’s ready, no ears are off limits. (she loves to rub ears, big or small). She never ceases to amaze us with all she is learning…even when we weren’t teaching! She really is an adorable little girl.

Alena Nichole started Kindergarten in the fall! In March, Jonathan grabbed his sleeping bag, flashlight and a few snacks to prepare for his overnight camping excursion outside of Life School (Red Oak Campus), in order to secure a spot in one of Dallas’ leading charter schools. Believe it or not, he was not even amongst the first 50 but he was close enough! We absolutely love the school and its guiding principles. Children are taught to be accountable for their academic success as well as their moral fiber. Jonathan and I are enjoying watching Alena develop. She is quite a little lady, full of creativity and joy.

Last but not least, Jonathan and I are doing well. Jonathan is now the Director of Membership at our church, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship. He is also going into his 5th year of managing Anthony Evans. He still enjoys a good round of golf but finds himself watching it now more then playing! He will get back out there soon and maybe 1 of the 4 will share his passion!! He is a wonderful father and loves spending time with all of his girls.

I am a fulltime wife, mom, teacher, doctor, chef, and counselor (the list changes daily) and I could not ask for anything more rewarding. I love watching my family grow into all God has planned. I manage to get out quite often and nothing refuels you like a new shirt and a good movie 

Well that about sums it up. At the beginning of this journey together, we had no idea what God had in store. Now, 5 years later, we sit in awe and full of gratitude not only for His provision and strength but for the love, joy and contentment he has lavished on us.
