Christmas yea!!!

i can't believe how fast this time of the year goes. christmas can't come yet. i'm not ready. i just can't seem to get with it this year. i feel so unorganized. i am excited for this time of year though. it always brings me back to when i was a kid. i loved christmas growing up. my parents always made it a special time. they make it special now too. i hope lauren and jake enjoy this season not only now but as they get older and look back on the hopefully fun times we have. i am grateful for the birth of our savior and his sacrifice for us. he is truely a wonderful older brother.
jon and tenille shared some great and wonderful news with us. they are going to have a baby!!!! i am so excited and can't wait to spoil them. they deserve all the happiness of this new little baby.

thankfulness and blessings

i know i haven't posted for awhile, but it is so hard to type one handed.
we have been so blessed this past year with a darling baby boy that we thought we would never have. he is such a miracle to us. we know he was to come to our family because of the joy we receive from him. he has come into our family with a small challenge that has turned out to be nothing. he has torticolis or tightening of the muscle in the neck. he has been going to therapy for it and even a trip to primary childrens where they told us he wouldn't require anything from them. thank goodness. he is doing so well that the physical therapist says he holds his head up like a 6 month old. we are truely blessed in this situation that could have turned into a nightmare for him. this situation proves that with prayer and patience, something that mommy is so low on lately, anything can happen.
