Psalm 126:3

The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

The Gift of Life

I didn't give you the gift of life, But in my heart I know. The love I feel is deep and real, As if it had been so. For us to have each other, Is like a dream come true! No, I didn't give you The gift of life, Life gave me the gift of you.

Christmas, came and went





A much anticipated Christmas was finally upon us. To think, that last year we were waiting on pins and needles to find out about our Anna. And now she's been in our arms for over 8 months. Wow! All of the kids really enjoyed Christmas, visiting with family. Notables, Ben finally got his most coveted, "green light sabre". Anna got a baby stroller, which of course her and Carter have tried to sit in, but to no success. They've realized that only baby dolls can fit. Nolan received an art set-so he's been creating masterpieces. The countdown to school is already on. The kids are really out of sync with their days (Matt and I are too).

Wishing everyone blessings for the New Year!

Our Christmas Decorator





Anna has enjoyed decorating our tree, over and over...She's very pleased with herself. I too was a bit surprised at how many ornaments she could get on a single branch, looks like the record is up to 6. She has even added some of her toys to hang on the tree. The other cute things she is doing is--singing and counting (up to 10).

Hope everyone is staying warm and dry and not getting overly stressed by Christmas coming. Have a great week.
