Pictures

Horrible picture I know, who wants a picture of me with my mouth wide open. Well if you hadn't had BBQ in over 15 months you would be like this too. I think all we will eat when we hit Austin in BBQ and Tex-Mex. When Ryan and I went house hunting, we ate at IWB (Ironworks BBQ). I made Ryan take this picture because I was so excited to be coming back!
This is Jackson. Most of you know him and have been praying for him. Doesn't he look great? Please continue to pray for Doug, Mel, and Jackson. He is scheduled for his bone marrow transplat the end of February if RSV is under control in the Denver hospital. The three of them will head to Denver for 6 months for his treatment.


Like I said before, we had such a great time at Christmas with family. The boys loved everything about the holidays. They were so fun to buy for this year. Does it keep getter better? Ben is into everything sports and Carter is loving superheroes, especially Batman!





This is Christmas Eve, if you can't see the snow if coming in sideways. It was like that all day. It snowed 8 inches in Jacksboro, I don't ever remember that much snow! We thought we were coming to Texas for a snow BREAK! Every year on Christmas eve, Santa goes through the town handing out stockings. This year we had to chase him down, the kids were excited to get back in the warm car after this picture.

Oh where, Oh where?

Oh where, oh where have the Merriman's been? That is the question I ask myself about the past month. We had a wonderful Christmas in Texas with both families. We spent the month traveling around the state - looking for houses and living out of our suitcases! We made the long way back celebrating that it was our last trip across country! We have had several lookers on our house, but so far no takers. Please pray that someone will snap our house up! It would be a huge relief for us! Ryan is house hunting for us this week in Austin, hopefully he will find something for us; we haven't found anything yet! For the next 3 weeks, Ryan is flying down to work during the week and flying back here to us on the weekend. I will try and upload pictures from the holiday season, the boys had a blast!
