Jaydon riding his big boy bike and wearing his daddy's hat!

All of us at Bass Pro Shop getting Santa pics made.



Brady sitting in his seat for the last time...he loves bathtime!



Brady playing with Jaydon's Toys....Jaydon telling Brady how to do it right!

Brady's car that his birthmother gave him for Christmas.

We had to take a picture of this...Brady fell asleep on Buddy's face.

The day it snowed....I was still in the hospital.

Jaydon with Buddy's hat on...he is thinking!





...New Beginnings....

I know it's been almost 2 months since my last update; however, all is finally well here at the Knott house.....YAY!! We have all recovered from surgery, illness, and lack of sleep...well maybe not that one!

Buddy is enjoying the busy life of the children's ministry and all of the sports. He has been able to ref soccer a few times. He has been blessed with so many wonderful volunteers throughout the kick-off of the new Crest Kid's ministry. We are amazed everyday at how God has moved in the lives at Ridgecrest. We are so blessed to be a part of something that makes an eternal difference. And of course, if you know me, you know I can't say enough about our Pastor. He is awesome, not because of anything he does....but when he speaks, you don't see the man, you really know that God is speaking directly to you through his vessel... Amazing!!!

Well, Brady had is first Christmas, and it was wonderful. He really loved playing with the paper and all of the toys he did get, but also his brother's toys too. Jaydon was so animated, as usual, when he opened his presents this year. He sang Happy Birthday to Jesus, and talked about Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus in the manger....somehow Jonah sometimes ends up in that conversation too. Jaydon loves to pray, and he prays for everything. We love to listen to him talk to God. He never misses an opportunity to thank God for all of his grandparents dogs....he might forget everyone else, but at least one of the dogs usually get mentioned.

We are so amazed at God's love for us. We have 2 wonderful boys who keep us busy busy busy, but we never knew for sure a few years ago that these days would actually come. We used to talk about and dream about the days when we could hear our children running through the house....and now that happens (at least one runs and one crawls). Our journey is just beginning. I hope to be able to keep you updated along the way this year.
