Greetings!
Sorry that the Christmas update is so late. Kendall, Lily, and I drove to Atlanta on the 22nd and arrived home on the 27th. We had a wonderful time seeing friends and family in Georgia. Christmas was very fun with Lily, but she was so overwhelmed with all of the action that she did not care about opening her presents. After the initial excitement wore off she was ready to open her stocking! We hope that all of you had a blessed Christmas with friends and family and that you all have a happy and safe New Year!
Blessings,
Kendall, Lily, and Joy

Hello again!
Not much is happening here in Fort Worth. School is out so I am enjoying cooking REAL meals as opposed to frozen packaged dinners and Kendall is enjoying the time to run and read. Lily loves messing up the house and seeing Kendall and I clean up behind her! She received all the Baby Einstein videos from Aunt Theresa and Uncle Deron for her birthday and Christmas so she enjoys watching those as she feasts on her bottles each day (and she may actually be learning something!). We are heading out for Atlanta on Friday and we are driving the whole way that day so we hope that Lily really cooperates on the long trek! As for now we are just chillin and enjoying the time off! Hope that everyone is doing well and thanks for visiting the blog! Leave us a note so we know who has visited us! Enjoy the "Nilla" pictures below!

The Graduate!!!
Greetings!
As I write this blog I can officially say that I am an alumnus of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary! On Friday, December 9, I received a Master of Arts in Christian Education and a Master of Arts in Ministry-Based Evangelism. I graduated with 249 other graduates. The Commencement Ceremony was very special and I am glad to have completed my work here at Southwestern. Please keep Kendall and I in your prayers as we really begin to focus in on where God wants us to serve for Kendall's church planting internship in the Fall. Thank you all for your prayers and support through my seminary career! Hope you enjoy the pictures below!
Love,
Joy

Lily's First Birthday
Hello All...
Well, Lily is officially one year old! This evening we invited a few friends over to celebrate her first birthday. She opened 2 gifts and then enjoyed looking at her cake, but wanted nothing to do with it. It was a chocolate devil's food cake with chocolate icing. As Kendall and I put our fingers in the icing and ate off of our fingers, she imitated us but did not eat any herself. We proceeded to put Nilla wafers on the cake in attempts to trick her to eat the cake and she is smarter than we think, she pretended to grab the cookies but did not want them! Along with her party she went to the doctor for her year check up and had 2 shots on her birthday! Well, I will be adding pictures of the celebrations soon...so make sure to check them out!
