New Years Reflections

Happy New Year everyone! 

It's hard to believe that an entire year has passed.  One year ago today, reality sunk in.  One year ago today, Kristin and I cried tears of joy and thanksgiving in our driveway.  One year ago today, we brought our little miracles home.

It's even harder to believe that Teddy is standing next to me, reaching to press the keys like his Daddy.  They're growing up so fast.


One year ago today, we snuggled them into their car seats - barely weighing 5lbs.  Today, they crawl all over us, they make faces, walk (holding on to things), explore, laugh at each other, say "mama" and "dada", and have their own very distinct personalities.

I'm overwhelmed when I remember that day - feeling so blessed to have 3 healthy babies to bring home.  Feeling so blessed, and so terrified at the responsibility that lay ahead.  




We're very much looking forward to the year ahead - we look forward to many more laughs, smiles, words, hugs, stories and games.  We look forward to new parenting challenges, adventures and trips.  We continue to remember God's goodness to us, and we are forever grateful.  We hope you feel the same way, this January 1, 2011.  Happy New Year!  Here are some recent pictures of our little guys...

Merry Christmas!

From our family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas!  We want to thank you (again) for following along with us; for all your prayers, phone calls, emails and support.  We appreciate each one of you very much!

We hope that you enjoy a safe, peaceful and blessed day, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.  Let that never be lost among all the gift giving, receiving, turkeys and naps!

We dressed up our kids tonight so that we could share some pictures for Christmas - Teddy, Joshua and Emma received their first Christmas gifts from Mommy and Daddy tonight!  Thanks to BB and JB for the outfits!  We do not intend to dress our kids alike, but we'll make an exception now and then!

Oh, and before I post the pictures, Mommy told the kids that Santa doesn't come until all the little boys and girls were asleep.  So, like good, obedient children, they promptly went to sleep, and didn't even wake up to have their pictures taken.  Oh well.  I suppose their bottles didn't help either.
