Merry Christmas!

Due to the upcoming holiday festivities, I wanted to make sure to wish everyone a Merry Christmas before I forgot.  Thanks for keeping up with the Akin family.  We hope you know personally the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.  It's the best Christmas gift we'll ever receive.

We wish you the best Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Drop me an email sometime if you ever want to comment on the blog but don't want to publicly comment.  I'd love to hear from people who enjoy it.  sarahkakin@gmail.com

Merry Christmas!!!
Love,
Sarah, Davey, Lailey, Rudy and Hank

What happens when Daddy feeds Lailey





Lailey's song repertoire is expanding, even if it's just the first lines.  She is singing into the broken antenna of our portable cd player that Davey uses while he works out.  It's her microphone.





The songs, in order of appearance, are
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Jingle Bells
Row Row Row Your Boat
Jesus Loves Me
ABC's

Every Since That Day Back in December...

We stood out in the cold as I remember

And I knew that you were different than anyone before

So I prayed and trusted Jesus even more

Thank you Jesus

For the greatest friend you've ever given me

Thank you Jesus

For my husband and my friend

I will love you 'til the end of time

From "End of Time," music and lyrics by Sarah Akin

9 YEARS AGO this past Wednesday (December 15th) was the day Davey and I officially began our dating relationship that would last four and half years before we got married on May 20, 2006.  9 YEARS. For us, that seems like an eternity.

Thank you, Davey, for being my best friend and sticking with me through the good and not so good times. We've seen some of both, but mostly it's been a wonderful journey.  I really will continue to love you until the end of time.

Happy Christmas Break!

Yay!  It's finally here!  I'm on break.  I get to spend the next two weeks with my family, catching up on Christmas shopping, activities, and more.  To celebrate, I decided to waste time on a new blog design, just for fun.  I think it looks like abstract Christmas lights.

Hopefully with a little more time I will be able to update on all that Lailey has been doing lately.  Though, I never make promises.  We may be having too much fun to blog!

A little about the picture at the top:
Yesterday Lailey got a hold of my oven mitts and figured out that if she set them both on the couch she could slide both arms in and then proceed to twirl around the room to Christmas music until she fell over.  It was priceless!  She looked like a little angel with oven mitts for wings.  Love that girl!

Making History

Grandpa Jim: "Lailey, you're going to be the 1st female President of the United Sates. When you're president, can I sleep in the Lincoln Room in the White House?"

Lailey: "No."

Grandpa Jim: "Well, can I sleep in the Washington Room then?"

Lailey: "O-tay."
