Christmas Greetings...

It’s Christmas time, which means family, friends, and lots of good times. While we are not planning to do much this year, we are excited to have some time off work so that we can hang out as a family. Relatives will be in town, which means lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins for the girls to play with…they love any excuse to play!


The girls continue to grow each and every day (obviously), but I just can’t believe how quickly this past year has gone by! They are not yet walking, but they’re almost there…I am not in any hurry, though, because once the footsteps start, I know I’m done for :)

  

Work has been busy for me and Doug…which means that we relish the hours we get to spend with the girls. Christmas time also means shopping, and little (or no) time off for the retail industry. Doug will be able to take some extra time off, since even University of Phoenix gets a bit of a Christmas Break, so that will be a nice little vacation for him.

  

We are grateful for all of the blessings that this past year has brought us - new jobs, a transfer back to California, new nieces and (soon-to-be) nephews, and a perfect little home close to the beach. We are thankful for our health and safety, for friends and family, and for the love of our Saviour.

We hope everyone has a wonderful and merry holiday!!

The BIG One...

That’s right folks, Aiden and Reilly have officially turned 1 year old. Doug and I can hardly believe how quickly their first year has flown by! We have learned so much more from our two little chickens then I think we will ever be able to teach them. They are honestly our pride and joy, and they bring so much light and happiness into our lives. We wish all of you could have been present as we celebrated Reilly and Aiden’s special day, but since we know that wasn’t possible, here are some pictures from their little birthday bash.

Welcome to our Blog...

Hello and welcome to our new blog!! Since I am not the best at emailing or phone calls, this is my attempt at keeping my family, friends, and loved ones up to date and in touch with the happenings of our little family.
