So this is Christmas...and what have we done?

This year I was truly impressed by what friends and family have done to show love to others. I was also overcome by the love that was shown to my family and friends. It's been a rough year for so many people I know, and yet they made it through. I can only wish them continued strength in the year to come, and continued hope that things will get better. To all my friends and family, I love you dearly and look forward to spending the next year surrounded by your love. I welcome the opportunity to show my children what the true meaning of Christmas is and that it should last throughout the year. Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy New Year!

Where did the time go?

I realized November flashed by without my having updated our blog, so here's a quick update.

During November, Baxter won an award for Best in Show at the Woods Cross Elementary reflections contest! Congratulations, Baxter.

Zander was excited to have his Aunt Audra instruct his school class on ASL. Thanks, Audra, you made him feel special!

Syler enjoyed his first taste of food other than formula, rice cereal, or licks from Mommy's cookies. He ate sweet potatoes in honor of Thanksgiving--actually on this wonderful day of thanks!

As usual, we celebrated Thanksgiving at Granny Goon's. We can't get enough of her delicious Thanksgiving spread. Thanks for letting us grace your table, Granny Goon!

I'll take this chance to say thanks to all of my family including my family-in-law. We appreciate the love a support we get from all of you. Thanks also to our friends for being an important part of our lives. God bless!
