it always seems as though christmas comes and goes so quickly. we were able to enjoy our holiday richly this year. daddy was home our entire break. a first for us since, well since before we were married. after our year the Lord knew we needed many days to be together without any plans, to do what we wanted and just enjoy time as a family while we celebrate Him. we decided to protect our family time this year. not to feel the pressure to go to every gathering, to buy big gifts, to go crazy with ligths and decorations, or prepare huge meals. we literally talked, played, cleaned, and simply had a wonderful uninterrupted time together. this was the greatest gift for us this year.
2010 promises to be a full year. in a couple of weeks, we will celebrate 10 years together. wow, i truely can't believe it. i am so grateful and blessed for my husband and kids. can't wait to see what the Lord brings us in this next decade.
james continues to thrive in preschool. he is reading many words now and writes them as well. i love teaching him and watching the excitement on his face. he looks forward to baseball in the spring, and continues to "build" everything he can using all materails and tools available. hard to believe i will send him off to kindergarten in august.
julie is quickly turning into a girly girl. she loves taking care of her babies and always has their needs in her mind. she must have blankets, bottles, and pacis for them at all times and when they are taking a nap we are told "sshhh, my baby is sleeping". she has such a kind heart and looks after both her brothers with such love. she has no fear and attempts all things big brother does which makes mommy really nervous. we hope to start her in gymnastics soon so she can do her "tricks" without as she says "cracking my head open".
jacob is 5 months now and just the happiest thing ever. he has his 2 front teeth and continues to amaze me. he is sitting by himself, eating some solids and scooting all over the place. he loves to hold things and of course put them in his mouth and drool gallons. he uses his left hand a lot, maybe another south paw in the family? he still looks like james as a baby, except with longer hair. i can't wait to see if they will look the same as older boys. fun times ahead as he reaches many development marks!
yep, we are settling into life with 3 kids so close in age. many people ask us how's it going or what's it like? our response is usually the same, we love it, but it's reeaaallllly busy. so grateful and appreciative for what God has entrusted to us. hope to make memories with you all in 2010. happy new year!
