The True Meaning of the Season

Upon waking to the sweet voice of a three and a half year old boy saying "Mommy and Daddy I heard Santa on the roof",  and the plentiful gifts that awaited us this Christmas morning, we like to remember the true meaning of the season.   Today is the day our Lord, Jesus Christ, was born or as Evan likes to say "It's Baby Jesus' birthday".  As we continue through this glorious day with our loved ones, whether we are with them or not, we will not forget the true meaning of this season, the celebration of our Savior's birth.   Wishing everyone a blessed Christmas Day!

Ella Bella 7 months

Ella, you are getting SO big!   You now weigh in at 16 pounds.  Your smile lights up a room.  This month you have started to move from a sitting position to your belly.  You also are squirming around on the ground.  You are more brave as you reach for things that aren't necessarily within your reach.   Whether you are in my arms or on the ground, you are quite the wiggle worm, no longer hanging out in one place.  You make different sounds, like 'ma' and 'ba'  Sometimes I am not sure who talks more or who is louder, you or your brother.  No one can make you smile and laugh more than your big brother.  As of now, your brother considers you as his best friend.   I hope that lasts forever.

  Happy 7 months (a little late) my sweet girl!
