Happy New Year!!!
We had a fabulous day! I took this pic outside of the base movie theater, where we saw Megamind! The girls loved it and Abby did great too.....It's amazing that we saw a movie, got popcorn and 2 drinks for $10! Love it! Steven was pretty excited that his team, OU, won their game....great day for our family!

Goodbye 2010! Hello 2011...Goals for the new year!
The best thing about 2010 is.....sweet baby Abigail Faith Henderson.
2010 started really sad for our family, because Jan.12, 2010, we miscarried twins at 7 1/2 weeks. We were so excited about the new addition to our family during the holiday season, and had told all of our family and friends....when suddenly they were taken from us. We actually didn't find out that there was two babies, until right before my D&C....so that was very painful, to know that we now had 3 glory babies in heaven. Just 6 weeks after I had the miscarriage, we were again amazed by God's goodness to find out I was pregnant again! Steven and I were thrilled to welcome our third daughter, Abby, on Oct. 14, 2010!
As 2010 came to an end, we were saddened to find out that Steven is deploying to Afghanistan for a year. After prayer, we feel like God is leading me to move back home to OK to live with my parents while he is deployed. Here are some of my goals for 2011!
1. Take more pictures, with more journaling, so Steven can feel like he is apart of the kids lives while he is gone.
2. Take more videos of the kids playing and special events.
3. Read a book every 2 weeks, mixing fiction, with something a spiritual book/book on parenting/living a healthy lifestyle.
4. Try to cook more whole food meals, avoiding processed foods as much as possible...but not be crazy insane about it!
5. Make sure I do my quiet time everyday, and to consistently do family devotions with the kids.
6. Exercise 4-5x per week, but not put working out over spending time with the Lord.
7. To use this time to pay off all debt, and to save for the future, including an adoption in the next 3 years!
8. To research adoption options....international, domestic, foster....so we can begin the process as soon as Steven gets home!
9. Keep my blog updated...mostly for Steven.
10. Play more with my kids, and do more 1 on 1 time, since I will have a ton of babysitters....use this time to spend alone time with each of my children.
That's it so far....My biggie is to not waste so much time, to use my time as efficiently as possible...which means get off the computer!!! :)

Pixel Perfect: Before and After Blog hop
This is one of my favorite sites...I love looking at other people's photos and learning about basic photo editing.....This is my SOOC SHOT
Here is my edit....I used Coffeshop rita's found here for color boosting, then Everyday elements Florida action, which I love and use on almost every pic...it corrects the lighting for you! I then ran a new action called strawberry vintage from Linky Lueville Crazy Actions...free...and it is awesome for snowy pics...I tweak all the levels...turning some on and off, changing opacity....I just think using actions makes your life so much easier! We had a blast playing in the snow!

Merry White Christmas!!!
It's snowing in North Carolina!!!! Technically its the day after Christmas...but Gracie said snowing, means Christmas...so it still must be Christmas today!!! We had a wonderful Christmas with our sweet little family of 5....we just relaxed, played with the kiddos, took long naps, ate a ton.....and played some more! The girls got lots of goodies from santa and their parents....and had a fabulous day playing with each other all day long! They fell asleep in 5 minutes last night! :)
Here is Gracie and Emma in their matching pjs their Grammy bought them!
Playing in the snow! It was beautiful!
I got a bunch of new textures and actions for photo shop element and had fun this afternoon playing around with them!
Playing Hungry Hippos!
My sweet husband...love this pic of him!
