Merry Christmas!


Our Annual Update on the Reverse:
In 2013…

Christopher became an Associate of the Society of Actuaries! He has been working on this credential for nine years. He has continued running, working out, playing guitar, reading many a good book, and has become Annelisa’s favorite swing!

Allison completed Bible Study Fellowship’s (BSF) study of Genesis in May and accepted a leadership role in her local BSF class as a discussion group leader for the Matthew Study this year.  She began run/walking, continued cooking many a new recipe, became much more involved in their church, and cherishes each day spent at home as Executive Vice President of Domestic Operations and Scheduling at Pailes Pad.

Annelisa has excelled in walking, running, dancing, and climbing. She is learning a new word each day! We also have learned about her egg, peanut, tree nut, and environmental allergies and have adopted an egg-free lifestyle! She loves going “bye bye” to BSF, church activities, play dates, or Target.  We are beyond blessed that God gave us her as our daughter!

Farley continues to protect Pailes Pad from many a rabbit, dog walker, the mail man, or delivery service. He has grown in his love of Annelisa exponentially throughout this year…especially as a food source!

Allison attempts to blog about life at bucketsofinsight.blogspot.com.

Friday Five: Thankfulness


Five things I'm so thankful for today!


  • Friendships that go beyond proximity, that are able to start where they last left off. Friendships that are familiar and comfortable, yet still challenging. Friendships that are old, new, and everywhere in between. Life is too hard to not have a community of friends! 
  • Parenting a darling toddler little girl. Discovering her quirks, her spunk, her JOY! 
  • Family: that I was born into and that I married into...I am very blessed! 
  • Anticipation of a busy week to come with lots of new adventures for Annelisa and me! 
  • Growth!  I am so thankful for how God has used the last 12 months to move me, mold me, grow me into a woman more dependent on Him for every detail of our lives, yet still needing to be more dependent on Him in each detail of our days.
