We're Back!

First off, please excuse our long blog vacay!  We had some storage issues on our laptop and it took a while to get all the photos sorted and backed up.  We stay so busy that the weeks just seem to roll by and every time I turn around it's Sunday evening again. 

Anyway, we had a wonderful fall and Christmas season.  Some of our highlights include Ben and I leading the Awana program at church, Tyler learning to read beginner books, Bailey Beth's constant comedic relief (she knows she's funny too), Ben's work trip to Brazil, and of course Clemson football.  Below are some photos for your enjoyment!

Brazilians take soccer very seriously ;-)

They also take meat seriously......at Fogo de Chao

Ben loved their meaty diet since he is such a carnivore
