Welcome to the Blogging World!

Its true, we are now part of the blogging world. Amber came over and made us one. We hope to keep up with it.
We want to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers through this past month. Vance is doing amazing and our new lil Rachel is growing already. Kaelynn has started kindergarten, and is loving it. She also has been playing soccer with the city league. She is having a blast and we love watching her. Megan is having fun just hanging out and playing with her new little sister. We love all of you and cant wait to keep in touch through blogger.

Hi Vance and Karissa, I was on Amber's blog and was able to get to see your cute family. We have been thinking and praying for you, I hope all is going well. Hopefully we will be able to see each other sometime soon.

Karissa! Hello! Jen told me you guys had a blog, I am so glad! This is Kati, Vances' cousin. Congrats on the baby! I hope she is doing great, as well as the rest of you guys! We are praying for Vance and your family- we are totally out of the family loop and have no idea what is happening with it all, but we wish him and your family the best! I don't know if you ever check this, but we have a blog too, it is thisbaxterfamily.blogspot.com I would love to hear from you! You have always been such a joy to chat with!

Hi guys!
Do you ever get on here?
Hope you are doing good!
The shower went nicely last night.
I hate that I don't have numbers.
Jess said she tried to get a hold of your mom to tell her.
Anyway, just know that we are thinking of you guys.
We can't wait to meet that new little baby of yours.
We are also planning the Wil's xmas party for the 7th of December. Hope you guys can make it!
Lot's of love,
Jen

We are really bad at checking our blog. It's a new change for us. Anyway, all is well. We are having Rachel's baby blessing on Dec. 7th. We usually limit those to just immediate family and a couple "close" friends. Afterall, it is just a blessing. Karissa and the girls are well. Kaelynn works hard in school, but picks up some bad habits there. Today is my 2nd day of radiation. I haven't felt any affects from it yet.
Thanks for all the support. We really appreciate it.

Each family will choose one member from their household, to pick the gift.

Well, I am so glad that Braxton isn't the only one picking up some rather nasty habits and WORDS from school/
I laugh at you right now Vance.
We are in the same shoes, who wants to run away first?
Sorry about the radiation, but it is something you do need. I am sure you could spend your time elsewhere, having fun, but just think, this may turn you into a bionic man or something. Maybe the hulk! Wow, my little cousin the Hulk?
Dang, I better suck up now, as I need some cars turned!
On a serious note, if you guys need ANYTHING, please call. We love you guys, and feel so helpless. So any hints would be appreciated.
Also, your welcome. I will stay away from the church this weekend, that way it doesn't cave in on your beautiful blessing:)
Just know we are thinking of you guys!
Love ya!
Jen
