The Recent Past

The month of December was a busy one for us, with a birthday to celebrate, Christmas parties to attend, holidays to enjoy, and two little munchkins to chase around. We enjoyed celebrating Christmas here in Ohio although we missed not being able to see family. We were able to go to a friends house Christmas day and enjoyed hanging out with them and eating a tasty Christmas dinner.
The highlight of the month was teaching Jonas and Lucy the true meaning of Christmas , now Lucy says this when she prays, " Thank you that Jesus was born in a barn.." We also enjoyed seeing their excitement and anticipation all month about opening gifts. After Lucy was playing with her first gift she opened we later heard her say, "This gift is amazing," I'm glad a doll house is all we need for a gift to be AMAZING, someday that will not be the case.
Here are a collection of photos from the past month.

In more recent news we are only two weeks away before our baby Miles will bless us with his presence, if not before. I have to admit I am very ready for this little one to come as each day gets a bit harder.  So we are enjoying the calm before the storm. We know that adding one more little one will make us even more busy, if that is even possible.
