Happy Birthday, Jesus!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We did, and are very thankful for Jesus's birth, His incredible sacrifice, and His resurrection. And we are thankful for our health, our freedom, family, friends, and many other blessings. As we reflect and enjoy this Christmas, we can't help but think about what next year will be like. We are cherishing our last Christmas with just the two of us, yet at the same time are looking forward to experiencing Christmas with our little guy next year. Here are a few photos from our Christmas 2008.




















Here are a couple photos from The Nutcracker ballet that we all went to. The girls loved it!

26 Weeks...





Here are a couple updated pictures of me and my little growing sweet baby boy. We are now at 26 weeks with no more than 14 weeks to go! I can't believe it! Where has the time gone?! I love being pregnant and feeling him move and kick. One night last week, I watched my belly for about 20 minutes just watching him move around. The miracle of life is so amazing and we thank God everyday for His precious gift He is giving us. I am so thankful for a smooth pregnancy and praying it continues through the delivery. The most difficult aspect so far has been picking out nursery furniture & bedding. Decisions, decisions.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone! We have had our tree up for a week, but I am just now getting around to posting on here. Sorry, it's not that great of a picture. I downloaded this particular one at home last night so I could write and post today at work. So, I don't have access to my other pictures so we'll just go with it. Maybe I'll post another one later this month. We always have so much fun putting it together, even though it is quite a task. We both put all the branches together, then Matt strings all the lights (nice job, babe!), and then I put all the ornaments on. Teamwork at it's finest! :)

This past weekend we went to the Cincinnati Zoo's Festival of Lights. It was very, very cold but we had fun anyway. Here's a picture of us ready to go home and thaw out! When we go again, it will definitely have to be a warmer day - I'm a wimp when it comes to cold weather. Put me by the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate and I'm set!
