My sweet sister-in-law Megan took pictures of our family over Thanksgiving she did an awesome job!

Tim and I are joining others who will be doing a 21 day fast starting January 1st. During our fast we will be eating "God Foods" (food that only God made) . Check out their facebook or blog and consider being a part of this opportunity.

Here is a list of some of the foods that we will eat during the 21 day fast:

All fruits
All veggies, (raw and cooked and canned)
Chicken prepared any way (except fried)
Tuna
Fish
Yogurt
Cheese
Eggs
Salads
Brown rice dishes
Whole Wheat pasta dishes
Kashi cereal
Oatmeal
Nuts

Kendra works with Tim at the church will be will be posting some daily devotionals and answering any questions that people have during the 21 day fast. On her blog she writes "The point is, to do something that causes a physical hardship that reminds you to devote time each day to fueling and feeding your spiritual hunger and thirst for God."

Weight Watchers Online

I have to say I sure love having babies. I have loved being pregnant with all 3 of my kids. (I know I am weird) I have always gained the amount of weight the doctor says is good for me. This time with Abigail I gained 40 lbs!!!! Which would not be that bad but I was on steroids the month before I got pregnant and gained 10 lbs.

So you might ask why am I telling you all this? I need to write this out so I can keep myself accountable. I have started doing Weight Watches Online this week and signed up for 3 months. I have lost 25 lbs of the pounds I gained (from given birth) so I have 25 lbs to go!

1 Corinthians 6:18-19 Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

Happy Thanksgiving

Last Thursday was quite the eventful day. Nicole woke up having contractions that were harder and closer together than she had ever experienced. The dr. told us to come in so we dropped the boys off at our friends house.

Went to the hospital.

And had Abigail Nicole Knox at 7:14pm.

She was 6 lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long.

We are so blessed!!!

Bible Study Baby Shower

My Bible Study girls (aka B.S. girls) threw me a baby shower the other day and they got me a new stroller! I was so surprised and excited. They also spent time praying over me, Abigail, Tim, and the boys. These women are a huge blessing in my life. Thank you girls for all you do for me and my family I love you!!!

We went to have an ultrasound on baby Abigail. They said she is big, baby Abigail is 6.9 lbs as of Oct 29th. We will be having a c-section on Nov 27th as long as she stays. I have really enjoyed baby Abigail moving around in me. We are all looking forward to holding her soon. Thank you for praying for our sweet family.

Treat your children as if you won't have them next year. Train them as if they won't have you next year.

A week with our family

We had a wonderful time off. The marriage conference was everything we had hoped it would be. Our sweet friends Will and Charity blessed us with tickets to it.

After the marriage conference we went to the lake house that our friends, the Walther's, have blessed us with over the years. We get to go up to their lake house about 2-3 times a year. These are a few of the things we like to do there: play games.

Play with all their toys...

Play outside...

Drive the golf cart...

Go fishing...

Take baths in the jacuzzi tub...

Make carmel apples...

EAT...

Boxing...

After the lake we went to Mounds, Ok (Tim's hometown) to the Knox Family Reunion. There were 23 of us staying at Tim's parents house. The girls slept in the house and the boys camped out in tents. Tim and Nathan had a wonderful time doing this.
