Into December...
Well, our month of December didn't start off so well. Mallory came down RSV and had us on our toes. I was scared to death that we were going to have to take her to the emergency room, but luckily, she was well taken care of and God heard our prayers. After about a week of breathing treatments and lots and lots of TLC, she recovered and was back to herself again!
Meanwhile, Barrett continued to be the BEST big brother ever by reading to Mallory and helping Matt and I in every way that he could. I love that boy!
Aunt Brandi and cousins Karlee and Kelsey came down to do a little last minute Christmas shopping. Their visits are always wonderful! I love my sister sooooo much!!! Matt drove us around the neighborhood that night to look at Christmas lights. It was super COLD...as as you can see, we bundled up (Mallory had to stay inside the truck with her daddy / "the driver").
Once Mallory felt better, we decided to pay Santa Claus a visit. This year, we were able to see him at the Allen Village. Barrett couldn't seem to remember exactly what he wanted, so he settled with "toys" as his official request! That's easy enough for Santa!!!!! I loved Mallory's little Christmas outfit!!!! Too cute!!!!

B's Christmas Program
Barrett performed his very BEST this year at the Primrose Christmas program. He and his class sang: "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", "Frosty the Snowman", and "Winter Wonderland". I was so impressed that he new all of the words to each and every song.
I'm one proud mother of such an amazing young boy. He is so kind to others, polite, helpful, and smart. I can't believe how fast these past 4 years have gone by. Thank you, God, for giving me this incredible gift!!!!! I love you Barrett Luke Barner!!!!
Wedding Tooter
Oh do I have a story for Mallory!!! I want to remind of her this when she gets older...
We attended a wedding over the Thanksgiving break. The ceremony took place in an old wooden church, and although a small building, it was packed with guests. We decided to keep Mallory carrier, hoping she was fall asleep. Well, as luck would have it, she was wide awake and must have been relaxed enough because during the quietest moment possible (they were saying a prayer) Mallory began to start tooting. It wasn't just one simple toot...it was multiple toots that continued for about "3 rounds". People started snickering, turning around, and eventually belted out with laughter.
Barrett and Matt kept looking at me like, "Oh my gosh...is she seriously doing that???".
Way to make a statement Mallory!!!!! All that tooting gave you a ton of attention. I think that might be the reason she did it!!! After the wedding, everyone came up to meet her and of course had a lot of comments about her actions. That's my girl!!!!
Thanksgiving
**We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm so thankful for healthy children, my relationship that I have with my family, my amazing husband, all of my friends (old and new), my relationship with God, my health, happiness, and so, so, much more. The list goes on.
**Over the Thanksgiving break, we drove out to Graham and Throckmorton. While we were in Throckmorton, Barrett and Karlee played outside the entire day. They are like brother and sister...except I rarely hear them argue at all. They both have great imaginations, and Miss Karlee watching over Barrett so well (without babying him). Even though there is a huge age gap between the two of them...they play so well together. He thiniks she hung the moon!!!! I dread the day that she "outgrows him" and becomes a teenager.

Latest and Greatest
Latest news...
*Mallory came down with RSV around the arrival of her 4 month birthday. It was crazy how fast it happened. Since she was so young, the doctor could only suggest breathing treatments (no antibiotics or medicine). Matt was in between jobs, so he was able to stay at home with her and nurse her back to health. We were scared for a the first few nights because she was congested up top and had difficulty breathing. After many prayers, she recovered and seems to be doing great! I was ready to have my baby girl back to her "happy, energetic, self".
*Speaking of energetic...this girl is always on the move!!!! She can hold her head up great and has even started the motion of standing on my legs (holding her own weight). She's not a fan of lying on her back, and prefers to be sitting upright! She twists...she turns...and can successfully roll over all by herself (back over to tummy).
She weighs 14 pounds and is close to 28 inches long! Yep, she is going to be a TALL girl.
*Barrett is continuing to enjoy preschool, but anxiously awaits starting Kindergarten. He will be attending Cheatham Elementary (where I teach 4th grade), in the Allen School District. We've thought about putting him in our neighborhood school (Frisco ISD), but feel that his going to "my school" will allow me to be able to attend some of his school events more often (since I'll be in the same building), and it will give us quality time together, before picking up baby Mallory. I knew if I sent him to our neighborhood elementary school, that he would have to attend an after school program...hence, making it awfully late in picking him up. I don't want to do that. I rather have him close by.
*My mom and sister, Brandi, came to McKinney for our annual GIRL'S Night and Twilight movie. We had dinner at Uncle Julios, had manicures and pedicures, and went to see the final showing of the Twilight series! Lots of fun and a ton of unforgettable memories!!! I love mom and sister so much!!! They mean the world to me.
