A wonderful new start

Much to my disappointment, we had a very brown Christmas. Ah, well, I guess there's always next year to look forward to! Douglas was off for the holidays, which was a blessing, as we were expecting him to have to work. The kids all had a wonderful time, and said this was the best Christmas ever!

Londyn is almost walking everywhere. She disappointed her Opa and didn't walk by Christmas. She will walk several steps before falling over, but will get up and try again all on her own. We cheer and cheer; she gets so excited she falls over! Then, when she thinks no one is looking, she'll take a couple steps and cheer for herself!!

Zander is cruising around everything, but hasn't quite worked up the courage to let go and try it alone. He's running a temp right now, and quite miserable. I'm guessing it's his teeth, but I really have no idea. I just know he's not eating much, and that means he's really not feeling well!! He doesn't usually let anything come between him and food or sleep.

Kyzer has just gone thru a growth spurt, and the 4T pants I just bought him a couple of months ago are almost high waters. Poor guy is so skinny that nothing stays up without being cinched up tight! He's enjoying his Christmas presents and annoying the girls.

The girls are also enjoying their presents and the holidays. Today is their last day off school. Tomorrow is dreaded and anticipated- depends on who you ask and the time of day.

Douglas is enjoying running the new department at work, and doing an awesome job of it. This is his second promotion in 5 months. God has really given him favor in the eyes of those he works with.

New year's resolutions? Sure I made them! They're the same ones I make every time I put a load in the washer or a dish in the sink. "I will do better at keeping up with this!!" So far I'm failing miserably!! I'll try again tomorrow...

I'm thankful for all God has done for us and is continuing to do. I look forward to what He has planned for us in the coming year. I pray His many blessings on each of you, as we face the challenges ahead. How wonderful to know we don't face them alone!!
