Well it has been awhile since my last blog. I really need to get better at this. So here are some of the fun things that have happened in the past few month. First, today is Savanah's 6th birthday. We are so greatful for her sweet spirit in our home. Second, for Thanksgiving we went to see my sister and her family in Florida--my mom was there too. On the way we went and saw some of our churchs historical sites. Savanah had an incredibly spiritual experience there. It just goes to show that kids are so intune with the spirit. We had a lot of fun hanging out at my sisters going to the beach and just playing with the cousins. I think we started a new tradition of soccer on Thanksgiving morning. The only bummer was I broke a bone in my foot and came home to get a lovely boot that I had to wear for 6 weeks (I just got it off the other day). I learned that you can walk really fast in those things. All in all I think we are going to go every year because my sister is such a good cook.
Third, we had a wonderful Christmas. We were grateful that mom my could come and visit with us for the holiday. It is always nice to have the kids home and no homework. We also had a new addition to our family on Christmas--A NEW PUPPY. Yes, we finally came through with our promise to the kids and became the proud parents to a very handsome Yellow lab that we have named Lucky. We love him. For those that know how I can be a little uptight I have adjusted amazing well. He has been amazing. He is basically already potty trained to go to the back door and ring a bell, he know how to shake, and he loves to go on walks and play fetch (I have even found myself taking time out of my day to play with him). The best thing is that the kids are still so excited about him that they have been cleaning up after him (yes that means I have not had to pick up any poop).
Fourth, we have started a new year and feel very blessed to have the wonderful family and friend that we do. We hope that for everyone 2009 is a year that brings blessing to all.
Fifth, no I did not make a new years resolution to blog once a week but hopefully I will more often--no promises.
I am off to see the puppy. Happy New Year!
