Dunson Adventures

May 2011 Posing  with sir Topham Hat. In line waiting to go on our first train ride! On the train. It's Thomas! A couple of very useful engines. Carousel ride. Cruising in comfort. Dizzy Ride.  Can't forget the cotton candy. Yum.

Remember the movie Horten hears a Who. There's a part where the Whos have to gather together and shout WE ARE HERE! WE ARE HERE! WE ARE HERE!  They have to band together one voice united to show the rest of the world that they really do exist. That's how I'm feeling. I'm not a tiny Who. But rather a mother of 4 small children. My blogging time is a luxury. But I want you all to know: WE ARE HERE! WE ARE HERE! WE ARE HERE !  Well 8 months ago our Jacob was born at 36 weeks. Now that makes 2 Boys and 2 Girls!  Here's a picture of him a couple of him a week old. Life has been very fast paced ever since. So far it has been a very big change to going from a family of 5 to a family of 6. Jacob is a very welcome addition to our family but as I often forget, babies can be hard work! Life just now is just now starting to feel a little normal. Here's a picture of Jacob at 3 months.  I think that is in part due to the fact that Dav...

Oh what did the new year bring? Snow and lots of it. My kids loved it! Me 19 weeks pregnant with Mike gone to BNOC (Army school) not so much. David and Olivia were just too excited. I was waiting for the snow to stop but, it didn't look like that was going to happen any time soon. I let the snow get way to high for our little Lexi. She much more preferred the view from the porch.

If there's one thing I can't stand that's being late for church! I just can't stand how people look at you as you try to quietly slide on to the pew. With 3 children in tow our sliding in usually isn't that quiet. Alexis has been known a time or two to run to the front of the Chapel. Well on this particular Sunday morning was our Christmas program. Even more reason to be on time. Well...not to Mike. He said we've just got to take a few pictures. He does this every holiday really. If there is a holiday the Dunson family will be late for church. As I glance through our pictures, almost all of my favorites are the ones that Mike just had to have us stop and take. I am so thankful that he does. I always want to take pictures after church but either someone is sleeping, they spilled snack on their clothes, or something that wouldn't make for a nice picture.

The stockings weren't hung by the chimney with care but Santa came anyway!

We got 16 inches of snow in Stafford, VA! I think that is more snow than I have seen in Fayetteville,NC in my entire childhood. Chances are that things are still going to be white for Christmas!

This Christmas Season was interesting due to the fact that I was 13 weeks pregnant! The nausea was in full effect. We didn’t go caroling, visit Granny and Grandma, or bake cookies for the cookie exchange. So what tradition was in full effect at the Dunson home? Why Santa hats of course!
