Keepin' Up with the Joneses: November 2010
http://lanceandronni.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Keepin' Up with the Joneses. Sunday, November 28, 2010. Thanksgiving was bittersweet this year as we lost Lance's Pa. On the Saturday before Thanksgiving. We had his funeral service on the day before Thanksgiving and the silver lining in the whole thing was that we got to have a big family Thanksgiving together at Lance's granny's house in Eldorado, TX. We left Laney with Aunt Beth for just a few minutes, and this is what we found them up to. Saturday, November 20, 2010. In Memory of Lennie Eugene McCalla.

http://thomastalkturkey.blogspot.com/2011/05/he-has-risen.html
Wednesday, May 11, 2011. The "change of plan" weekend was also Easter. A time of celebration, family, church, something that we didn't expect to see here in Turkey. While Turkey is a secular country and the only one with no state religion, 98% of the population is Muslim. However, their current constitution guarantees religious freedom and tolerance. Christianity has a long history in Turkey:. Birthplace of numerous Apostles and Saints (Paul, Timothy, St. Nicholas are a few). Last home of Virgin Mary.

Keepin' Up with the Joneses: December 2010
http://lanceandronni.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Keepin' Up with the Joneses. Sunday, December 26, 2010. We headed up to DeSoto to spend Christmas afternoon with my dad and step-mom. Brady liked Laney's princess ball just as much as he liked his own gifts :). Brady got a sit and spin, but was too shy to get on it. Laney gave it a spin (literally) and LOVED it! After lunch and presents at my parents house, we drove up to Denton to spend time with my sister and her family. These pictures of us trying to get a family shot are HILARIOUS! I love you Sissy!

Keepin' Up with the Joneses. Friday, January 7, 2011. Laney had her 9 month check-up on December 10, 2010. Here are her stats:. Weight: 17 lbs, 1 oz (25%). Height: 28 inches (75%). Brady at 6 months old. Weight: 20 lbs, 8 oz (50%). Height: 28 inches (50%). I had to take her to the doctor for a sick visit on December 28 (minor cold, nothing serious) and she had already gotten up to 17 lb, 8 oz. So that is a 7 oz gain in just 18 days - I thought that was good progress. She is very good at feeding herself f...
