Since my last post we have been very busy, yet that is nothing new for our busy family.
Oakley is doing great now, she  had a fight with the flu and pneomonia over the Thanksgiving
Holidays. She is finally starting to act more like herself, which is a huge welcome.
Oakley, is at the  fun age this Christmas. She loves Santa so much and loves
Christmas music and dancing to the Christmas music. She loves the Christmas tree or
should I say the ornaments. Our tree is a little top heavy now, everytime Oakley takes an
ornament off I put it back at the top of the tree, so that she can't reach it. Needless to say
there are very few ornaments left on the bottom of our tree.
We took her this weekend to meet Santa. She was a little unsure at first but ended up loving
him. Santa sat down in the floor with Oakley and played. She liked that and gave him a hug before
leaving. Afterward she skipped away saying"Bye HO HO"!!! We also went to the county Christmas
Parade this weekend. Oakley waved and said Merry Christmas to everyone that past by.
Oakley is our 4th child, I don't know that I have ever taken the time to slow down and watch the innocence and joy that this age brings to Christmas.  Maybe it is knowing the Miracles that happened that first Christmas and knowing  that each day,  we have had and will have with Oakley, are an amazing gift and Blessing from God.  We are truely Blessed.

Oakley's favorite movie is "Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy rescue".Oakley would watch this
the whole day if she could, over and over.
She is talking and saying so much. My favorite thing that she is doing is,  she will come to me or her daddy and say "come on mama/daddy lets play"!! Oakley is so smart and is learning so much so very fast. She already knows her ABC's and their sounds and isn't ever 2 yet. I am amazed at how very smart she is. She loves to color and I love coloring with her. She still loves her brothers. We got to go watch her brother Peyton and his travel ball baseball team. Get Championship rings a few weeks ago. The Georgia Hitters are the #1 team in the state. Oakley loves watching all of her brothers play ball.

Over the last 22 months I have tryed to stay in touch with Sky and Carla. We come to know this amazing family while Oakley and their Joseph were both fighting CDH at Eagelston. Joseph lost his battle to CDH but was such a Warrior. Sky and Carla are expecting a little girl in April. There are no signs of CDH or any other birth defects. Please pray for Sky,Carla, and their family.


From our family to yours, May this Christmas season bring you and your family much happiness and joy.
Love, Brian,Sheree,Auston,Christopher,Peyton and Oakley
